Olcott 7/10/10

[shu9265]

Took a group of 3 out of Olcott today for a day trip.

We headed out to 200 plus and hunted for fish, where they were a few days back. Not today!.

Went into search mode, finally at the 100 fow mark, we started to see bait.

So, we set up the riggers, side riggers down 35 and 45 with " steelie stompers" and "double orange crush" spoons.

And set the center rigger down 65, with a Stinger Orange Crush. (HOT!)

Had the dipsey's out on wire with spin doctor's and green flies. back 150' and 175'

All rods took fish. But, the center rigger down 65 over 100 took the kings.

First the center rigger fires, and Don hands the rod off to Bill (the customer) who starts fighting the fish, and then stops. He looks at Don, and says "he's gone" oh well. Don, start;s to retrieve the line, and then "he's gone" comes to life again! !

The fish made a run away from the boat, and turned back. Line went slack so he thought it was gone. When Don started to reel, he took up slack and the fish near took the rod out of his hands, as he made a run straight under the boat and kept going out in front of us ! ! ! Then he finally came unbuttoned.

Went back around for another pass on same numbers, and the king in the picture below decided he wanted our spoon.

Long story short, 45 minutes later, he is in the net and on the boat.

Guy that took him, is still bouncing off the walls with excitement!

All in all we had a great day out of Olcott.
