Fished out of Olcott on the 4th and put the boat back in the slip for the rest of the summer. We haven't fished Ontario since the pro am so it took a bit to get our feet wet again. ended up haveing a pretty good day, going 14/19.

Dad is heading out to visit the family in Wisconsin in a couple of days and was looking to get some fish for the smoker to bring with him, so we were in harvest mode. We ended up with 8 fish in the box (the other six landed were undersize steelies and skipper kings), 2 kings to 18 lbs, 3 steelhead to 10 lbs and 3 browns including one 14+ lb slob. We fished in front of the microwave early and had somewhat steady action on the kings and steellies in 120-170 fow. 40-70 down.

Had a hard time hanging on to the bigger mature kings today. One of the fish we lost was on the copper and was screaming out drag and broke the 20 lb flouro leader (must have had a nick) another big king was well over 100 yds into his first big run (mountain dew SD and greek crinkle Howie , short lead off the probe rigger, still a hot setup for us) when he came undone.

Around 12:30 or so we decided to head inshore to see if we could find some browns and there were huge stacks of bait in 40-50 fow with browns in the mix. we ended up the day with a triple header on browns, only boating 1 which was the 14 pounder off the rigger. Another of the triple was a similar sized brown on the wire diver that dropped off 8 feet behind the boat. The big brown would have been a derby board fish, except we had my brother in law on board today and forgot to get him a derby ticket (stupid, my fault, grrrrrrr) oh well


All rigs were working. both riggers, both wire divers, 200' copper 10, 5 and 3 color cores all took hits. (we pulled the copper and 10 color and put out the 5 and 3 color cores when we went inside for browns.

spoons were more active than doctors/flies today, mostly green spoons with white backs (R&R Frog and yellowtail stinger were the two best in the water). A gold blade kevorkian took the big brown on the rigger.

Here's dad with the big brown:



and heres the catch on the Marina Bragging Board:



Weather could have been better, but the fishing is just fine out there.
