Olcott 9-29, 9-30

[tbromund]

We hit the harbor saturday morning to see if the perch were in. Got a couple but the run isn't in very heavy yet, we put a dozen or so in the bucket. They were a nice class of fish, most were 11-13". I would guess were a couple of weeks away from the perch action really taking off.

Sundy we went offshore to fish for silvers. I set down at the 22 line right in front of Olcott and we started trollling North. hit our first around the 25 line a nice 15 lb teenage king. fishing got better as we wnt north, 27-29 lines were smoking. We ended up 17/21 with a mix of steelhead to 10 lbs and juvenile/teenage kings. Everything was working. chrome green Spindoctor/mirage atommik took a couple, but it was mostly a spoon bite.

NK watermelon in both mag and 28 took multiple fish, gold back kevorkian, stingray NBK, R&R spook. We even went old school and had hits on both a chart fire dot luhr jensen flutterspoon and a green/chart black dot alpena diamond (both on sliders).

Doubled up 3 times, in fact one was technically a triple because the rigger rod ended up having steelies on both the main line and the slider (10 lb on the main line and about a 4-5 lb on the slider). getting both in the net was a challenge.

both riggers, wire diver, power pro diver and 200' copper all took multiple hits.

Oh yeah, the fleas were still out there in force.

Great day out there and we were all alone.

beautiful 1' salmon chop on the water

the 15 lb teenager

we boxed out with 7 steelies and 2 kings kept.

probably have 1 last trip this year when I drag the trailer down to pull the boat out for the season.

GJ Tim on the Steelheads and King. Hang in there and get some of those perch.

Oh!!!! By the way, you know I love them hardtops.

[tbromund]

How could you not love hardtops, I don't think I'll ever own another boat that isn't.

The perch are just starting. I'm guessing another 2 weeks and they'll be in the harbor thick.

Well done TB,pierheads up here are stacked with Kings,just very picky on what they want to hit.

[tbromund]

same here Skeiner, I just wasn't interested in combat fishing for mudhens so I went offshore for the silvers.
