Slow for us this afternoon. Had no real intel to go on, so headed out to 300 and didn’t find any bait or marks. Looked around for fish with poor results. Headed NE and managed 3 steelhead in 440 FOW. One on wire Dipsy back 80 with F/F and the other braid dipsy 120 w green and black spoon. Pulled lines and went looking for marks with no luck. Came into 320 and had a couple bait balls and took a 2 year old king on rigger down 80 on green and black spin doctor and fly. Tons of water fleas and lots of salad. You really need to check your lines frequently to clean them off. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I'll be happy to share our intel (hopefully we figure out a couple things). We'll be on the road late morning so probably won't be posting. Give me a call Friday noonish or after. 715 977-2425
Planning to fish out of Olcott starting Wednesday evening thru Friday morning. Haven't been over for 2 years!
Can someone tell me where I can buy some "meat" over that way? Sounds like a couple places we used to stop at are no longer in business. TIA!
Would enjoy working with some other anglers on the water.
What channel do most people use out of Olcott?
Thanks!

Thanks for your reports all week! So glad you were able to get back on the lake for your annual week of fishing! Keep in touch and I’ll try to bring my boat over next year and tag along! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
And you’re the guy who insisted that I allow you to change out my swivels for (I think) Spro coast lock swivels!!! [emoji12] (Whenever I lose a fish because of broken line or failed terminal tackle, I always blame myself! (WTG! Thanks for the report!) Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
Great job buddy and great report! So glad you got 'em! Save a couple for me. Your winds look good for next couple days, so I hope you can stay on them!

Joe, loved the video, especially the "yawning buddy" standing right next to the rigger that had to be peeling drag!! Gets me fired up! Hope to work with you next summer!

After checking the forecasts one last time, we decided to pull the plug and not make the trip over. Hopefully, we can make it over one more time this year.
Heading to Olcott Monday morning and would love to work with others. On our previous 2 trips over this summer, we got some good help from others that made a difference in our trip!! Hopefully we provided some assistance as well. (I read the replies to Duxdemise "Olcott" post and appreciate that info.
Tight Lines! DammitDave 715 977-2425
C We run 300 copper on Off Shore boards. Just run the boards off to the side enough to get them out of the way of landing fish. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
Went back to the scene of the crime this morning. Left the dock at 6:00 and had 4 by 7:00. Finished 7 for 7 and pulled line at 9:00 to head home.
Meat rigs caught 5 of them. Had 6 lines out and only 2 meat rigs, rigger down 75 and 300 copper. 1.8 mph at ball was best speed for us, which seemed slow to me. Tight lines!

Chance of storms this morning so didn’t go out until about 9:30. Fished a couple hours and came in when it got a little rough (occasional 3 footers. Found some fish in 320 FOW a little west of Olcott. Caught 2 in a.m. and 6 this evening. Had some nice 4 year-olds in mid to upper teens. Meat rigs were best. Rigger down 75 and mag dipsey, out 160 on 2 setting. Also caught on 300 copper. Only 1 spoon bite today. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
Thanks for intel. We didn’t get out last night. Too rough for us until just before sunset. Waiting for chance of thunder storms to pass before we head out. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
