Nice fish Scotty!

It doesnt matter if you use a swivel or not. I prefer to tie an overhand loop knot in my leaders just to make things quick and easy. It offers the advantages of being able to change out flies but with less hardware to worry about.

GillT, We didnt mark any bait out deep. Actually we had very few marks on the screen all day out there.

I had all the intensions in the world of running offshore first thing this morning but instead I stopped to take a look inside. In 85 fow we had bait clouds and big hooks so we set up and fished the warm water for an hour and never moved a rod. We quickly abandoned the inside water and started a north troll. On our way out we picked up a few fish but with nothing really showing on the screen, we continued north. 450-470 fow straight off the creek proved to be our best area of the day. The fish were 40- 80' down w/ 50-60' being the best target depth. Stinger glow gators on the 45', 50', and 60' on the riggers did most of the damage. 10 color leadcore pulling a red headed silver bullet and ten color leadcore pulling a purple NK nbk also took fish. The 350' copper pulling a white double crush Smartfish and an atommic ssw fly took an 11# Steelie and the 260' wire dipsey pulling a green double crush Smartfish pulling a lime green fly took a teenage king. We had a pretty consistant bite throughout the morning once we were in 330'+ and finished strong after a slow start. We ended up 14 for 17 with our catch dominated by Steelies topped with a few Kings and a 9# Brown.

Happy Bday!

Its tough to tell who has the bigger smile.

registration is $20.00 dollars. There isnt a youth division but i dont know the minimum age requirement. i bet its similar to the LOC derby though.

nice brownie!

I would run flasher/ flies on both dipsey rods and start with spoons on both riggers with fixed cheaters on both rods. That setup will get you 6 baits with 4 rods in the water at once and give you the chance to cover alot of water. From there just adjust your setup as the fish tell you what the want.

Hey Carl, Last week I went up to Captains Cove and respooled all 4 of my dipsey rods with it. I will definetely let everyone know what I think once i get through the rest of the season with it but so far so good.

The DEC has believed for some time that there was "some" natural reproduction of king salmon in lake ontario after finding proof of it in the salmon river. After paying close attention to it they believe it much higher than anyone could believe but they still had no way to give accurate numbers on it. Like blrunner said all the king salmon stocked in lake ontario are now finned clipped. In time i think the DEC will be able to give us a better assessment of what the numbers really are and it will be something that we all look at when boating kings too.

Hey Tom I thought I was smiling?

Happy Birthday

Captain Jax joined me this morning and we enjoyed another good day out of Sandy Creek. Cold water has moved inside and is quite high in the water column so we set up 70 fow and trolled NW in search of some active fish. Our morning started when we doubled up in 114 fow on the 30' and 40' riggers, both loaded w/ Stinger glow gators. For the next few hours we had a steady pick of fish 30-75' down on the riggers w/ Stinger glow gators and NBKs (stinger and stingray). A green double crush Smartfish pulling a green glow fly took a lake trout for us but that was the only fish on a flasher/fly. Most of our action was between 100-137 fow west of the creek and trolling west into the current. We finished up the day 9 for 14 w/ a mixed bag including Kings, Steelhead, a Laker, and a Brownie.

good to see you back in action Bob!

The 450 copper that the bigger fish took a smartfish on a 11:30 setting.

Armed with reports that there was still good fishing in 200-300 fow we headed offshore this morning to this previous weekend's waypoints and setup in 240 fow. With an improved down temp but a screen that was virtually void of life we spread everything out (35'-100 down) looking for some active fish. It didnt take long for probe rigger parked at 75' to fire with a Stinger stingray NBK. Acting like big kings do, it started a big run, broke us off, and took our hardware with it. The riggers werent hot today but they did manage a few. Riggers 75', 50', and 40' down w/ NK NBKs and Stinger glow gators took fish. The diver rods and the 450 copper took most of the fish. 210' dipsey rod w/ a green double crush smartfish and 240' dipsey rod w/ a green on white smartfish took a couple of fish each. The fish over 20# today hit the 450' copper w/ a white double crush Smartfish pulling an Attomic SSW fly. We ended our morning 9 for 13 with nothing but quality fish. The majority of the catch being big kings (all over 15# w/ the biggest being 24#) but we also landed 2 nice steelhead (1 being 10-11#).

Your best bet for Sandy Creek is to call Bruce Butcher (771-7172) from Sandy Creek Marina and see what he can do for you.

Nice report Lou

Good luck Bob
