Olcott browns

[Comin' In hot]

Hello all, I am new to trolling Lake Ontario (used to walleye on Erie). I'm looking to get out at Olcott on Sunday to troll the shallows for some browns. The wind is expected to be S - SW 10-15 mph, do you guys think the conditions will be alright for a 18.5' aluminum boat?

 

Thanks,

Jerry

right now, they're calling for less than 2', so I think you should be fine, but like always be smart about it....... if you're not comfortable, put her back on the trailer.......

Thanks guys, I'm pretty comfortable in rough conditions from being on Erie where they change pretty fast. Looks like I'll be giving it a shot!

I would agree in regards to the boat. I was wondering what effect all this rain may have in the fishing. Anyone have any thoughts?

It will create well defined mud lines spewing out of the river mouths, and spreading into the lake whichever direction the current and the winds take it.  You want to look for the green water, where the chocolate milk looking water mixes with the clear water.  It will also send warmer river water into the lake and create temperature breaks.  The ideal situation is to find green water that is a couple degrees warmer than the surrounding water, and BINGO!!!  I would run bright lures in the green water, and natural colors in any clear water.

That's exactly what I have been reading and watching videos about, I've got a good spread of lures and inline planers. I'm excited to get out there!

Here are a few links for you out of towners. The overboard charters webcam will give you realtime video of the lake. It spins around the harbor so give it a minute to point to the lake.
