Heading over to Olcott from Michigan for 6 days tmrw, hopefully fishing picks up this week. Anyone make it out?

Lake has been a washing machine last few days - looks like things should stabilize by weekend.

Not surprised with all the weather.

Any luck out there? Fished 380-520 straight out today. Only 2 hits. Did decent in Friday and Saturday morning in the same area.

Heading out Friday AM from Olcott, First lake O trip in a few years. Any recommendations for a starting depth?

Well I have been checking my Seagull GLOS website and it looks like there is cold water from Wilson to just before the genny. I think this brought stagers in so I think that could be an option for you.

We set up in 100FOW and worked our way out to 360 and headed west with the waves. Ran 2 dipsies and 2 riggers only presenting spoons. Went 5 for 9, losing one at the boat and three during the fight. I don’t have a down speed and temp, so not sure what down speed was. Riggers took fish from 65-100 down and dipsies on #1 out 210-260. No sea monsters but enough action to keep us busy. Tried trolling east as well but only took fish going west. (Tried a variety of speeds going east from 1.0 all the way to 4). Heading west 2.5-3.0 was where the action was. Started around 7:30, pulled everything around 1p
