Storm Warning III - Olcott, Memorial Day Sunday and Memorial Day

[Storm Warning II]

Sunday: SLAUGHTERFEST...4 tickets before 9:15am, 148 - 172 fow, from just west of the red barn to the Microwave Tower...a one-way plow fest.

 

Studs: MAG Moonshine Flounder Pounder on 100' rigger.  White / Green Dot spinnys on 250 inside divers and 350 outside divers.  Kings from 8lbs up to 23 1/2lb stud, a couple high teens in the mix too - sorry no pic of fish alone, only board shot, got on video though (too large to upload) that came on the outside diver.  We had fish cleaned, boat trailered, and were heading back to the Lake Ontario Motel by 10:20. (1st pic - board at Marina). 

 

Monday morning set up in the same water...got a teenie before all the rods in on the 100 rigger, Moonshine rig then quiet...

 

Realized top temp had dropped 3.5 degrees into the upper 40s and we went to search mode to find our water.  Got into 100 fow, surface temp hit 50 degrees and fired 3 rods.  Put two teenagers into the boat and began to work the warmer water.  Picked at 'em, lost a good screamer on outside diver and ended up pulling 3 tickets in that water with the highlight a 23 1/2 on the Moonshine Flounder Pounder down 85 over 100 fow.  The final tally illustrated in pic with 3 of us standing beside the Newfane Marina board.

 

As usual, great trip: good times, good friends, good lake - awesome numbers of Kings, with some quality fish mixed in.  Lots of salmon for our freezers and to put smiles on friends and families' faces back home with grill fodder.

Excellent job guys, I know it's a grind to get to the lake, but LakeO is so worth the ride!!! I don't know of another lake in the country that has the (quality) of fish in it. Once I get my boat up there, I make the 4.5 hr. run Fri. Night and leave Sunday around 2 pm do the male thing SSS and hit the rack and then wish the week away so I can do it all over again. Glad to hear you had a blast along with some nice fish. Be safe and tight lines to all. PAP.
