Olcott 5/4/13 - Not so good for us

[Mr.Wooleye]

Hi Guys,

 

Slow day out there for us. Started out at 8:00 am right out front in 60' and trolled all the way down past Tusc to 200'. Only had a single fish. This is only my third time out on Ontario in the last two years. I fish out of Dunkirk (Chadwick Bay) all summer. Would appreciate any tips you guys have (I have everything in terms of trolling in terms of rods/lures/etc).

 

Here is what I ran (2.0mph -2.25mph) :

 

20 and 30 ft jets with tsticks (fire tiger black silver) off the big boards

DW spoons silver/green silver/orange off the riggers (30-90 down)

Big Dispseys 100 (on 1) 180 (on 3) running a Renosky and a spoon.

 

Only fish lost was on Silver/green rigger 45' down.

 

Can't make it out this weekend, but I plan to give it a try in 2 weeks on Thursday or Saturday.

 

Another note: No-one was fishing near the harbor (except off the pier) for browns is that bite done ?

 

Thanks for any help !!!

Pick up your speed to about 3mph and put out flashers and flies

I have never caught a fish in lake O on the "renosky" (bomber long a copy) ever.

Try using some SD and flies.

Brown bite died out because of the crystal clear water inside. Surprised you didn't pick up any Lakers  that seems a little odd. Spoons run around that speed is always good for a few.

The king bite is still very iffy..... water temps are improving and there are tons of hooks in the water, but they just aren't very active at the moment.  Took a couple high teens kings over 6 hours.  As far as speed, I'm not sure.  3 mph might work, but in the spring, i've always had better luck at 2 - 2.2 mph.

East winds for a week can make for finicky fish.  Come back a little later in the month when the wind is out of the west or SW on the lake.

Thanks for the tips guys and good luck out there. Ever need a tip on the hot bite down by Dunkirk or Barcelona let me know. Especially late in the summer for some big Lakers.
