Wilson /olcott 6/24

[battlehammer]

Set up in 150' off Wilson heading North-took a decent King in 180' on a blue/green stinger free slider set 66' down. Worked out to 400' with nothing to show. Spun around and headed towards microwave- found a decent temp break in 325'- 78'and 88' riggers took 5 kings in 5 passes, then we lost the break and could not find it again- spoon bite - NBK and warrior black/pearl took all. Managed one more King off Wilson in 290' while heading back in-NBK- 88 down to end the day at noon- all fished released to fight another day. It was just my dad and I and we had a blast-back at it in the AM. First time out in 3 weeks- so nice to have every fish screaming drag!!

Almost forgot- fleas made an appearance today on my braid - not bad just at the knots but they have arrived

I'm thinking of coming up from Pittsburgh to Wilson to fish tomorrow morning.  Would you say that the salmon fishing is "on fire"?  What I'm getting at, is it worth the trip up?  I only make the trip maybe 1-2x per year.  I'm dying to hear my dipsys rip.

Jig stick- hopefully others that were out today chime in- there were many- if I don't find the temp break that I did it would have been a long morning. So on fire- I wouldn't say that but I am curious as to how others did- I would never tell anyone to make the trip from Pittsburgh- you just never know with this lake but I will say this- plenty more majors around than last year. Manage to get at least one major damn near every trip out this year

[jigstick]

Pardon my lack of knowledge...by what is a major?

[battlehammer]

mature kings (3 and 4 year olds) that will run the streams this year

I hear ya shakenbake- work had me running ragged the last 3 weeks- it was good to finally get back out again- even better to enjoy a morning like today with my father- the years are catching up to him but he was like a kid in a candy store when the bite went crazy on the temp break - great memories made!!

[jigstick]

What was the surface temp? And what down temp did u get the hits? I'm coming up.

[shakenbake114]

That's all that matters. Memories with family

Surface was 66.9- took the hits in 48- I will be on the water by 6- pm me and we can share info on the water- safe travels

[jigstick]

Sounds good. I'll be launching from Wilson around 5am. I hope I can get one some fish. Just catching 1 will make the trip worth it

[tktroller55]

Come on up

[Frogger]

Made the trip up to olcott. I think it's worth the trip. Did 1 major and 3 smaller ones, some bows and lost others. Made the mistake of going out to 300. When I got back to 180 lights went on. Son had a ball.

Ended the day 8/10 - all big kings- unbelievable fishing!!!! Ended day in 130' off olcott- 88' rigger and 165 dipsey- NBK and DW- thriller- everyone get out here while it lasts!!

[jigstick]

Big thanks out to BattleHammer, FlxTroller, and Capt Tom from TOMKATT Sportfishing for helping me get on some fish this past Saturday.  I cant thank you guys enough for helping an "out of towner" out.  Definitely made the 5hr drive up worth it. Its nice to know that theres guys on LOU that are willing to help out guys like me, who have limited opportunity to participate in the Ontario salmon fishery.

 

Made the drive up from Pittsburgh and had beautiful weather.  Took me some time to switch from my usual walleye mentality to salmon.  But I eventually got on some fish.  Ended up with 2 mature kings in the boat, lost one right at the surface 20ft behind the boat.  Also took some some vicious hits from the steelhead who put on a show coming out of the water.  Also managed a few shakers and 1 coho.  Cant wait to come up again...which I'm slated to do the last week in july.

 

Biggest fish landed was 27lb 3oz female.  Loaded with full size tight eggs.  Is that normal for this time of year?

Any time jigstick- that's what this site is for. Your timing was impeccable. I haven't experienced a king bite like that in a long while. Nice fish- congrats

[flybuster]

Yes thank you!! Great starting point I setup in 130 straight out of the chute had the first fish at 175 headed west in 170-220 unreal fishing. Carbon 14 and bloody death took a combined 14 shots on 300 copper and a dipsy on 3 215 back
