Olcott this thurs-sun

[whycanteye]

Hello my wife & I will be up from Ohio this weekend. We have fished lake O for the past few years now and fish Erie every weekend the winds allow us when we're at home. Willing to work with anyone to find that elusive silver! We go by "Why can't Eye" standing by on 68.

Thanks Mike

greetings sir,  I was fishing up there solo a few weeks ago and caught 50 kings in 3 days using stinger spoons in stingray size green helmet and triclops were hot for me in 70-150 feet of water 40-60 feet down.  I suggest using some leadcore since they outproduce my riggers on a regular basis. I forget to say I was in front of the power plant.

Whycanteye, keep us posted on what happens.

[whycanteye]

I sure will. We will get there for an afternoon trip tomorrow and I will post throughout the weekend and hopefully have good news.

only from what I have read and heard,the fishing got a bit tougher than 3 weeks ago due to a strong east wind.Check other recent reports for up to date info.Sounds like the fish have moved out to the 4-450 range.No king bite........switch to a steelhead set up for some topwater action. Good luck!!

[whycanteye]

Thanks for the info. I always have a couple "steelhead" rigs ready but you have to figure those kings have to eat at some point

so....what is a steelhead set-up? Thanks in advance.

[whycanteye]

Just rods that I run higher in the water column with most orange and red spoons and 5 color core is an example

so....what is a steelhead set-up? Thanks in advance.

[/ uote]top water stealthy presentations.planer boards with bright orange or red spoons or stickbaits. slide divers or shallow directional divers. longer lines and looking for temp breaks usually between 250-500ft.fish scum lines if you see them. black and silver spoons can be deadly also. out deep you have plenty of room to spread things out which will help cover more surface area.I like hot bright sunny calm days. many times you can see them rising to the surface sucking down flies.very cool!Hope that helps

Went 4/8 last night with 3 steel and a small king. Watching it storm right now anxiously awaiting to drop her in and go!

How deep were you fishing?  I was out from 4:00 to 6:00 pm.  I worked 100 - 250 fow.  30' - 55' down.  Got just one small king.

Any thoughts?
