Olcott 8/17

[Tim Bromund]

Well, we FINALLY got out again, (stupid weather this summer). With the full moon and figuring there wouldn't be a morning bite, we decided to do a late start and got on the water around 8:30-9:00.

water was bumpy and got worse as the morning progressed, we had good 2-4's with the occasional 5, and then the wind shifted to the SW and the lake laid down to nice 1 footers.

fishing was kind of slow, ended up 3/4 all cookie cutter 18-20 lb kings. We went off towards the power plant and had our action right in front of the plant between 85 and 130 fow. All bites came trolling with the waves on the east troll, wicked current going into the waves, too hard to get down speed going west, we were either going 1.3 or 2.9 down on the west troll, couldn't seem to get it to stabilize anywhere in between there.

No pattern at all to the bites. We had 1 bite on a chrome/silver prism pro-troll with a no see um action fly, 160 back on a 2 on the wire diver, 1 bite on the probe rigger down 101 ft on a green opti inticer/green crinkle atommik (15' lead), 1 hit and run on the wire slide diver 225 back on a 2 on a dalmation spin doctor/glow wonderbread atommik and I rigged up the carmel dolphin spin doctor/crazy**** atommik that's been so hot this year and set it on the port rigger (non probe) 86 feet down on a 20' lead and it wasn't down 2 minutes before it fired.

Temps were ridiculously deep, we had 70 deg down 90 with a sharp break and 56 deg down 100. Didn't matter, most of the bites came up in the bathwater.

Fishing the Fairhaven Challenge next weekend with Adam G (Diversion) and my dad. Will post a report when I get back.

Sure, except when you need 30's to have a shot of staying on the board.

We're fishing out of Fairhaven. Staying at Anchor Resort. We will be driving up friday morning and pre-fishing friday afternoon.
