Another 6/1 Sandy report (shakedown)

[Tip-sea-tuna]

Launched around 6:15, headed out to 200 in a bit of leftover waves which gradually calmed as the morning rolled on.  Set up and headed North to 400ft.  Completely blank screen along the way.  Various Spoons, meatrig,  Flash/Fly combo used.

FishHawk showed temp brake around 50ft down out beyond 300ft depth.  No action at all or even a lone mark.  Made a few direction changes, swapped some tackle, did arcs, adjusted speeds up and down a little - no dice.

Pulled lines and headed back to 200 to try inside depths.  Found 5 or 6 boats in roughly similar area all spread out and going different directions.  Finally hooked up with an Atlantic on a carbon 14.   

We started marking fish around 175-160ish depth, but not many.   Inside water temp break was down around 100ft so we swapped in 450 and 600 coppers dropped the diver and lowered the riggers.   Another hour passed and by this time we had only seen a few scattered marks.  Decided to try for some Lakers to end the morning.  Set up a cowbell rig, slowed a little to 2.2 ball speed. 

Within 15 minutes,  had the 450 with a mag gramma warrior just start screaming.   Halfway through the fight, the 600 starts peeling off, but felt like a laker.  To add to the fun, the cowbell rig also starts bouncing- triple!

We prioritize the salmon on the 450, then retrieve the laker, then lost a small laker at the boat on the cowbell.   Nice finale to what felt like a terribly slow day.  Got both my son and father on decent fish on a beautiful morning, a win in my book.
