Olcott 4-3-10

[tbromund]

I was invited to join my friend Chad and his brother for the Gill-T Hooker's shakedown cruise this morning.

We found gin clear water along the shore and nothing happening on the browns and cohos, so we moved out to 45-55 fow and the screen absolutely lit up with what we figured were lake trout.

It took us a while to figure out what they wanted, but once we did we ended up with 11 lake trout between 8 and 16 lbs. What we finally figured out was that what they wanted was dodgers and flies and ONLY dodgers and flies, no bites on spoons, stick baits, Spin Doctors, etc, only bites came on dodgers.

all bites came on a west troll, couldn't buy a bite going east. Right around 1.5 mph SOG on the gps. Riggers and braid divers both took fish.

Beautiful day on the water.

Even the lakers are big in Lake O. Nice way to start the season.

Looks like some decent lakers for the smoker.

Nice job Tim. Thanks for the fish porn!

Looks like some decent lakers for the smoker.

actually the lake trout numbers are WAY down in Lake O right now, so we released all but one small one that chad wanted for the grill. From what we saw on the graph, it sure looked like every lake trout in the Western Basin of Lake Ontario was parked in front of Olcott yesterday though.
