The Oak -- Tangle Factor Aug 5 & 6

[tltorrice]

Aug 5 weather conditions at 05:00 am were less than ideal. 4-5 foot waves and high winds kept us ashore. The lake started to lay down about 3:30pm so that is when we went out. A 23" steelhead hit the downrigger meat rig set 80' in 210 fow before all of the lines were set. It was released. 05:00pm we released another small steelhead hooked on the wire dipsy on a green mirage fly and a spin doctor NBK. 07:00pm 8lb steelhead 480 fow on 85 down on the down rigger on an NBK Glow.

Aug 6 set lines at 06:30am east troll 180fow first fish was a steelhead on the downrigger on a moonshine carbon 14, released to live another day. Steelhead are like blue gills around here!!! Next a 7# king on the white glow meat rig off of the down rigger set at 110 down in 160 fow. Later 15# King hit the green dolphin spoon on the 15 color core in 180 fow.

Then we had a double hook up of a 14# King and a 16# king on the wire diver 150 back, and the downrigger 105 down in 175fow.

Then we had another double. We got a steelhead on the 15 color green dolphin spoon, released. 14# king on the wire dipsy green meat rig with a green fish catcher. Then we landed a 10# king on the downrigger set at 100 down in 175 fow, green meat rig with the green fishcatcher. That rounded out the box. We actually did run some spoons and other flies but today the meat rigs were working.

Another great day on Lake Ontario.
