SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

After seeing the Canadian north shore roll over from NW winds during the week, figured the temps would be screwed up on south shore. Checked NOAA site temp transects and couldn't believe 50 degree water on top for most of the deep zone. Not wanting to break out the 2 color, pointed the boat north out of port watching the surface temp go from 63 degrees out of Wilson to 59 degrees once we hit 220' FOW, turned back around and started at 188' with 60-62 degrees. I thought the cold onslaught would push all the fish out of the blue zone into the warmer Niagara current, and that is exactly what we found. I think every bait pod and all the steelhead were pushed out of the deep. Bait everywhere with steelhead and small kings to 8lbs in the mix. Made one pass from a little east of Wilson to just east of the microwave tower in 188-220' FOW and we had all the action two people and four rods could muster. Down temps 50 degrees at 45', riggers set at 33', 43' cheated. Dipsys set at 110-125'. Down speed 2.8. Hot lures DW steelhead candy/custom tape, DW mixed veggies/custom, DW SS moody blue. After our east troll, we decided to troll for some darkies off Olcott. Spent a couple of hours trying to tempt kings to bite J-plugs and flasher/flies. One release was all to show for the inside bite. Only saw one other hook up. Down temps in front were ideal with 50 degree water on the bottom all the way into 23' FOW.
