Olcott Labor Day Report

[Tim Bromund]

Great day to be on the lake, dead calm and the steelhead were biting offshore. After hearing the radio chatter suggesting not much happening inside, Dad and I elected to run right out to the offshore zone. Set up at the 27.5 line in 440 fow and started trolling north. We worked the 28-31 lines and ended up 14/17, doubling up twice, fun with only 2 of us on board, let's hear it for autopilot.

1 mature king on a mono diver, metalic purple diver and fire tiger #4 J plug back 150. 15 or so lb hen, released.

The rest were all steelhead up to 10.5 lbs. fish were fairly high. All rods took fish but the hot rod for the day was the 55' rigger with an NK28 blue thunder with a crushed glow ladder, took 5 fish and 2 hit and runs. Other than that, most of the other bites were on various R&R spoons (frog, lemon lime, green/chart)

Carmel Dolphin SD/Atommik CrazyB!tch on the wire diver took 1 shot back 140 on a 3.

55' rigger, 35' rigger, (and sliders), 5 color core, mono and wire divers all took fish.

Unfortunately had to keep 4 because they beat themselves up so bad we couldn't release them, including the 10.5 lb. Bled all over my boat.

Here's a few pics from today
