tbromund Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 Fished out of Olcott today. First off, inside fishing still sucks. We fished inside from 0630-0930 without moving a rod. We tried doctors/flies, opti inticers/flies, R&R 8" assassins/flies, lymans, j plugs and familiar bite whole alewifes. 0930 we pulled rods and ran out to the 29.5 and 50 lines and trolled north. Lines in the water at 10:00, first steelhead in the boat at 10:10. Dad just got back into town and wanted some fish to smoke so we were fishing for the box. by 12:10 we had 5 nice steel and a lost brown trout about 8 lbs in the box and called it a day. Could have stayed out there and continued to put a walloping on em, but I wasn't interested in leaving a trail of floaters behind the boat so we pulled and ran in. No idea what the brownie was dong 11 miles offshore in 470 fow and hitting a spoon trolled at 3.2 at the ball, but we weren't complaining. Fished the 29.5 to the 32.5 lines. Ended up 8/10 in the two hours we were out there including a 5 lb king (released, clipped fish) the 5 steel and 1brown in the box and a small steel that was also released. had a hit and run on the wire diver and a slider fish come unbuttoned to complete the action. Fast troll was best, 3+ at the ball to get them to hit. 7 of the 10 bites came on 1 spoon, the laser spooked NK blue thunder that has been my best steelhead spoon for the past 4 seasons. Highly recommend taping one up, every time I put it down, it just fires all day long. R&R Union Spoon took one fish on the 45' rigger and a Ludington stinger took the small king on a free slider on the 40' rigger. Everything else came on the spoon above on the 50' rigger. hit and run on the wire diver back 180 on a 3 was on an R&R mag watermelon grape dot. Nice average size with 3 of the 5 steel between 8 and 11 lbs. Tim
Adam Bomb Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 Great report Tim. Thanks for the tip on the spoon, will have to tape one up.
GLF Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 Great job Tim! Glad to hear you got some fish for dad to smoke.
