SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

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

Arrived at Osego to a good SE wind. Launched and picked a nice brown while setting up just ouside the river.

A 15lb king was next. We trolled in and out of the stained water and caught browns, lakers and a nice steelhead.

Found out after we came in we should have fished deeper as kings were there.

Friday we got blown off and went to Cayuga, repoert will go in the finger lakes area.

Saturday woke up to freezing cold Again and wind. The lake was still kicked up so we decided to go back to Oswego. It ate up some time driving over there but not enuf as the lake was still rocking.

Too many boats wagon training to bother getting in line so we went out for some breakfast. Aprox. hr later we launched and got out. It was still kicked up but fishable. We headed east to get away from ost of the boats and got our first hit. As we were pulling that fish in another rod fires. All six rods fired before all fish were landed. Lots of fun. Continued to work that area and catcha bunch of fish of which most were smaller than Thursdays catch at only 2-4lbers. We lost a couple steelies and got a few more lakers as well. no kings for us. Still a great day with too many fish to keep count. When the wind died the bite died for us (at least in the area we were working. Trolled back to the river and lost big fish of the day at the back of the boat. It was a brown about 15lbs. The duolock straightened out.....When we got back to Fairhaven we found out there was a big bite of kings out front. We were a little disapointed we didn't get into that but it is likely we wouldn't have known about it anyway.

Had the radio on channel 5 and 68 all day and heard virtually no chatter??? Wondering if people were on a different channel or just not talking???

First day sticks in firetiger were best. Second day everything worked early and by the end of it Silver/blue sticks, MJ spoon and Chicken wing were top producers. I fished the sticks 100-120 back and the riggers 45-60 back down 5, 15 or 20 depending on what the screen showed. Planer boards had two two color core set ups and two mono with a weight in front. All produced at one time or another.

Only our second trip out and lots to learn. We caught fish and that is what counts.

If it wasn't for the wind and the cold it would have been a much better trip, but you deal with what you got.

I wore the Artic Armor the whole time!
