Olcott 5/8 and 5/10

[Play Penn]

One of the first boats out on Thurs. Set up in about 70 fow, ran the usual king stuff in 70 to 100 fow heading west, nothing! Very few marks. Threw the tackle box at them till 11:00 and still zip working the top 50 ft. We decided to pull the plug and give in to the smell of skunk. As we were clearing the last line off the last rigger, Kevin got a hit as the spoon just reached the surface. The day was saved by an 8 lb king.

Kevin saving the day with one of his custom purple/white spoons.

As we let the skipper go suddenly the ff went wild, marked lots of fish as we were now in 50 to 60 fow right out front of Olcott. Saw a large mass of bait on the bottom. Decided to work over the area for another hour. Lots of marks but again nada. Decided to pull the plug again and as we pulled the last rigger again had a 3 lb steelie that didn’t release.

Friday was a blow off for us, so we waited for Saturday and the lake laid down nice. Went right back to our spot from Thurs and set up. Had a nice rip on the white echip/ LBB but unbuttoned after a good run. Worked the 50 to 70 depths for a couple hours, and then decided to move out as the sun got brighter.

Around 9:30 in 170 fow got our first hit on 35 ft rigger back 60 on a mag pink alewife. Nice 9 lb steelie.

Josh with his first nice steelhead.

Just as we started to reset lines the wire dipsy starts to scream. Set at 150 back on #2 setting with a custom spoon “Mr. Cream Jeansâ€
