I think I'm all done going out of Sandy for browns. I just don't think they are that populated there like they are more east. I'm going to try I Bay next or go for some big Lakers out of sandy

Thanks guys.

my bad Chris I did think about calling you but I figured at last minute you wouldn't want to drive all the way to sandy

Here's a couple of pics

woke up saturday morning to a text from my buddy saying he cant go fishing so i called a few people and had no luck finding a partner. Well the boat was already hooked up to the truck and everything was loaded so i decided to head to Sandy for a short solo outing. I launched the boat around 10:30 and then headed out to the lake which was starting to get a little choppy so i only ran 2 riggers to make it easier on my self. I worked from 8 to 12 ft riggers parked at 3 ft and 6 ft pulling stinger spoons. I went 2 for 3 all hits coming on a copper chicken wing spoon both fish just cookie cutters but i was happy just to catch something. sunday morning i had my gf Sheila and my buddy Kevin with me so the 3 of us launched the boat and headed out to the lake. We worked from 6 ft of water out to 15 ft with 2 riggers pulling spoons and 4 rods off the boards pulling sticks. Riggers were parked at 3 ft and 5 ft, 60 and 80 ft back pulling stinger spoons for most of the morning. We took 2 fish off of a white challenger stick bait lost a fish on the black flash challenger stick bait. We only took 2 hits on the riggers late morning landing our biggest of the day maybe 5 or 6 lbs on a tiny scorpion spoon in goby pattern. We couldnt get any of our stinger sized spoons to go so my buddy grabbed the smallest spoon i had and said lets try this so he put it on the 3 ft rigger and low and behold it fired twice! guess ill be running that spoon some more. lol We ended the day going 3 for 5 with 2 around 5 lbs and a small cookie cutter. was a great weekend to be on the water!

my speed is between 1.8 and 2.2

Yeah I'm going to keep running them and hope they start producing for me like they do everyone else. I will say that last time out the only fish we took on stick baits was on a ss white bay rat.

I'm with you Chris. I take more fish on my challenger sticks and my rapala sticks than I do my bay rats. In fact I can't get any bay rat to fire consistently on my boat

Pic of my fish this morning. All on spikes too cold to put my hand in minnow bucket all morning. lol

I was on cranberry this morning brought home 17

i ended up going with JB water weld. I still had some leakage but nothing like it would of been

thanks guys

Good job!

thanks Dave it was great to be back out

crazy looking steelie

there was almost no wind till about noon then just light breeze out of nw

It's been 2 years since I've had my boat in the water. Met Nick at sandy creek launch and out in the lake we went. Motors ran great as we worked 7 to 15 ft out front where the was some patches of good colored water. Our knockout spoons off the riggers were our best baits today. We finished 6 for 8 not great but considering the amount of boats working the same small amount of colored water I'll take it. Great to be back on the water!
