Olcott 7-10-11

[Tim Bromund]

Another great day out of Olcott.

Dad and I headed out of the harbor and headed NW to about 75 fow and set up on a WNW troll. Stayed in 100-180 fow all morning between the barn and the harbor.

Temps were high, fish were high and active. We had anywhere from 43 to 48 deg down 45 feet. Barely got all 4 rods set before they started popping.

Started off the day with a nice high teen king on the 45' rigger on an NK black and purple and spoons with purple seemed to be the pattern for the day. Ended up with the riggers parked at 35 and 45 and both were firing all morning. Wire diver at 140 and 10 color core completed the spread and both took multiple shots as well.

Lost count of the number of bites but ended up with 3 mid-high teen kings, an 8 lb coho and a 9 lb steelhead in the box. Unfortunately the steelhead looked bigger than it weighed and we bonked it thinking we had a board fish, couldn't believe it only weighted 9.

Old School NK Black/Purple or Black/Raspberry (on a free slider) took a bunch of shots on the 35' rigger, as did a purple/silver R&R superlight (matching spoons on main and slider) at 45 feet.

Only flasher/fly bite all day was a chrome/silver prism protroll with a no see um fly on the 140 diver.

Took several nice steelies including the 9 lber that we boxed, on a hi ho silver MC Rocket in a glow frog head, clean (no flasher in front) on the lead core.

Dropped several real nice fish near the back of the boat today.

Beauty Day on the water.

Forgot camera so no pics today.

Good report Tim,

Ya don't wanna be droppin fish next Friday or Saturday bud. I was out Saturday in about the same water and could only hit Steelies. We only stayed out 3 hours and we went 5 for 7 and all caught on 55 rigger with slider on a DW SS Green Dolphin. Not one King or hit on wires.

See ya Friday.
