SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

Really poor fishing this trip. Wed. was rough, fished in front of Olcott to start, easterlies had 40 degree water piled up. No action. Winds subsided a bit in the p.m. and ran to the Bar. 45 degree temp, bait, no fishies wanted to play.

Thursday fished the Bar all day. Tiny coho and a little king to show for it. Worked our @sses off trying everything. Whole bait, cut bait, flashers dodgers, spoons, sticks, you name it.

Friday same deal, a couple of small fish for seven hours fishing the Bar area. Called it early Friday p.m. and decided to fish different water for what turned out to be a foggy Sat. morning. Fished east past the plant looking for a change of pace. Had a good screen but clear water and no bites. Tried the shoreline brown trout bite in the p.m. in and around the Olcott mouth. Nada except for one little atlantic (released). Then it started to rain and we packed up early.

Not very satisfying. At least the shakedown trip was successful. New electric riggers and Cisco planer board reels worked well and the new tow vehicle made my life easy.
