SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

Thought about trying the Finger Lakes but due to the wind forecast decided to go to Oswego Harbor and try our luck.

Launched Lilboat at Wrights just after Captain Ernie's (Fishdoctor) son launched. Hit our first brownie on a troll along the east side of the harbor. Worked some different areas including a liltrip up the river hoping to find some active fish.

Caught a Coho as 1 part of a double but dropped the bigger fish .

RJ landed (released unharmed) an Atlantic (~20") after putting on a nice aerial show.

A nice laker (~10 lb) also put up quite a fight which was also released. We were hoping it was King.

A highlight was landing a piggy brown, a Lilboat best.

Thanks to Ernie's son for the tip

A nice trip to the land of Oz. Here Kingy Kingy....

Nice going fellas and glad we could help out. Interesting how you guys got the mixed bag and we only ended up with browns.

I was surprised by the diversity present too. We tried spoons and I even tried a Coho killer set up after the Coho hit, it never took a shot. The lilplaner with the stick took most of the fish and both of the bigger fish. The big brown was full of big gobies and the other brown was eating eggs. I guess there's a smorgasbord going on in the harbor. Nice meeting you guys.
