SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

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

Left home at 1:30 AM and drove to Olcott to catch the morning bite. Glad we did! Here is the mornings catch.

We started in 180 ft of water and worked north until we started marking bait. We started poping rods around the 25 line, but they were steelhead. We were looking for Kings. Made some adjustments with lures and depths and started to fire on the Kings. We found a good concentration of matures around the 26/43 line.

Here is my son's largest fish (not just salmon) ever!

We headed in for lunch and to set up camp around noon. We went back out to see of we could finish up our limit. We did with a bang! We landed two bigs Kings weighting 28 1/2 and 26 1/2 along with a beast steelhead. Headed back in well before sunset to clean fish and catch some needed sleep. Here is the 28 1/2 ponuder. It turned out to be the biggest fish of the trip.

We went back out Saturday morning and started at about the 25 line and worked north to our marks from the day before. I had just put the first rod in the water, the wire dipsie back 210' and BAM! This 22 lb king stripped 785' of wire off the spool on it's intial run.

The sunrise was beautiful!

We got chased of the lake Saturday evening by storms with 30 MPH winds leaving us 2 fish short of a limit.

We tried to fish Sunday morning. But it was rolling. We did manage to land one 21.5" King in the 4-6' waves. We had one other knock-off but didn't stay buttoned up.

Riggers were catching Kings at 80 - 100 down on Spin Doctors. The wire dipsies were on a 2 setting back 210 to 240'. Everyting was hitting on green on this trip.

It was a great trip. Can't wait until next time.
