Oswego 9/5-9/7

[Gray Fox]

Started Sat. morning off the college in 100fow marking lots of fish and bait off the bottom. Just got set up and took a nice coho on the rigger chrome/green dot spinny w/ purple mirage fly down 88. Trolled about 20 minutes and the dipsy was up and running, nice king about 25 pounds green spinny/b fly. Turned the boat to go back and the fish were gone and the bait had moved to the bottom. Made a few passes in the deeper water and managed to pull two more nice kings and dump a real nice coho. Ended our day aroudn 11:30 4 for 5.

Sunday we had a small tourny we call "Porkys Summer Cup Challenge", in which a small group of boats go out to fish for the "Bouy". This year we had two new entrants who would take first and second prize. Congrats to Tom Allen and team Crazy **** on the victory with a three fish box weighing in at 64.08#. Seconds place went to Del Casterline and team Liquid Plumber with their box weighing 60.14#, third place went to tourny chairman Porky and team All Out with a 56.10# box. Big fish was weighed in by team Mouse and was 24.14#. Congrats again Tom, just make sure you bring the bouy to next years weigh in.

Monday: Started fishing aroudn 6:30 and it was slow from the sounds of the radio. Worked the skinny water until 9:30 and only saw one boat hook up. Pointed the boat north and trolled out to 400 and turned around very little picture out that far. We got back into 250fow and the dipsy took off. Gave the rod to my brothers friend and when the fish took off again he cranked the drag down as tight as it would go...well you get the picture. We pulled the rods around 11 and headed in.

Got back to camp and stripped the boat down and headed home. Good luck to all of you who continue to fish and we'll see you in the spring.
