Owasco Lake

I am going to Owasco Lake this weekend trolling for the first time and was wondering if anybody had any tips. It's basically a Shakedown but if I'm going there I might as well have a clue thank you

First time this year trolling or you have never done any trolling before?

Just first time on Owasco Lake and first time with this boat

Pay very close attention to your fish finder, there are a lot of tricky humps and bumps, esp. On the west shore

Go half way up the lake drop stuff deep and fish the middle... oh the Lakers are huge too!

Edit:

But the water in that lake warms up quick so the bait may be starting to move shallow. So south end will be hot soon, but if the temps are still in the low 40's try the deepest parts

Speaking of Owasco, does anyone know if the docks are in at the South Shore Marina and if the water levels in the lake are up to normal range yet?

I'll let you know tomorrow I'm going to be putting a 21-foot London there the Red Baron

Yes the docks are in at the  south end and the water is up to normal level so launching should not be a problem.

Small lakers are biting, but all very deep.

I like that picture.

Was the picture taken with you going north bound in the afternoon? If so,my cottage is right behind your head.

Hit Owasco 4/17. Was down 2 crew members and fished with a "rookie" from 8 -3. Hit the west side, did not mark much. Landed a small Bow and lost about 5. Spoons were the only thing hitting. Very few boats out.

We saw very few marks as well.  Seems the fish may still be in a winter pattern.

Fished owasco sat night sun morn and sun night. Sat night I was solo but did ok. Not one one spoon stood out. Kept changing them out. Ended up 4/4 on lakers. All off riggers down 150 and 130 in 170 fow. Same thing sun mornin. All rids in by 7 and couldn't sit down to drive. Riggers were hot but it didn't last long. By 7:45 it was done. 7 fish but can't remember the amount of hits. Lost track quick. Called it quits at 11. Sun night only 2 fish. Everything has been lakers so far. Some good ones to

Biggest two of the weekend

Around this time of year,you can catch lakers in 10 feet of water and less. All you need is a small inlet with slightly warmer water and baitfish
