SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

====================

First of all a big THANK YOU to the site for the advice I received before coming up. We started off on Monday trolling for browns and managed a few fish before being blown off the water. A trip to Niagara Falls and a surprise winfall @ the Seneca Casino saved the day so it wasn't a total loss..

Tuesday.. Fished mostly Olcott west to the mansions in the mud and we were into them hard. Trying to keep all six lines in the water was next to impossible. Trolling speed around 2.5 on GPS fishing in 7-10 FOW. Firetiger Flat Rap #9 was a big winner as well as Hot Steel Rapala in F7 size. Kept a few for eating but prob released 25 fish.

Wednesday the rains came.. Again morning bite was decent (nothing like tuesday) water had cleared up and more natural baits were the ticket, again 7-10 FOW. 9lb Brown and 5lb+ Smallie were the highlights.. Headed out and found the lakers in the afternoon with good success..

Thursday.. Not much happening in the BT dept in the am. Water was very clear and the wind had died down to a whisper.. Out to the Lakers we head.. OMG.. When i tell you that between the three of us we hooked and released over 30 Lake Trout that day it is no fish story. We only ran two riggers most of the time because three produced some triples that were hard to manage. Greasy Chicken, Goby Glow, Orange Crush and Sodus Buckeye were the hot spoons.. 60-80 FOW. They seemed to be suspended 10-15' off the bottom in the deeper water but were pretty much huggin it in closer. Guys it was unreal. Originally being from Maine Lakers (or togue as we call em) were not so much a "settling" species as they were a welcome addition for our crew. We burped and released all but two (a 14lb'er that my buddy caught and an 18lb 11oz Pig that I caught that is headed for the wall).

Friday was a complete hurricane so we didn't get out at all..

Thanks Again to the fine folks on here and to the two guys that gave us some Laker tips @ the dock (I think they posted pics on here as well)..

Oswego in August.. Can't wait for the Kings..

Nice job guys! All that matters is you had fun!

I think that was you I talked to on the 10th when we were pulling out. Glad you took my advise and travelled into the "laker hole". They are big, fat and extra greasy this year.

OK you were the guys taking delivery of the brand new Hewescraft, right? Way to christen the new ride!!

, but I would try Oswego in the fall. Owego on the Susquhanna won't have to many Kings I do the same thing.

I like the "togue" reference! I cut my teeth on them on Sebec Lake till I was about 12. Thats where I got the trolling bug!!
