Big Kings are here - Sandy Creek 7/21

[Trout-N-About]

We had a great day. We were 13 for 15 w/ 1 laker, 7 mature kings up to 26lbs and the rest 8-12lbs. We fished 220-280fow off the pump house. Almost every rig took a hit. Our best spoons were on riggers.. chicken wing 55ft down, gator 75ft down, black&silver 85ft down. Three of the 4 wire rods also took hits w/ flashers and flies w/ white fly and mt. dew and green krinkle fly w/ mag rings on a 1.5 and 3 setting out 250 and 350. Sorry there are no pics. forgot my camera

Didn't know you were out Jason or I would have given ya a shout That must have been you out near me. Didn't get close enough to see your boat.

Nice job

Jason,

Did you run the 1.5 dipsey 250 and the 3.0 dipsey 300 or vise versa?

Way to go Jason.

Nice report and trip! Sure wish I read this and Fishinmans report a little earlier.

After observing for the Sodus Pro/Am I was jonesing to catch my own fish and put some of what I learned to work for me

I got out last night for an hour and a half before the lightning chased us back in.

6:15 - 7:30 pm

very light 1 foot rollers

185fow 70-90 down 55-46degrees

probably would have done some bigger fish deeper if I stayed out longer and dialed the depth a bit more

2 for 3

White SD with silver/MOP / green crinkle/glow fly

green/orange (billy baru ish) mag spoon

and either that one or die hard (free slider) was the lost one

Sandwich size king (this was late dinner) and a 12 lb king (revived and released). trolling w and nw mostly from mouth toward pump.

sounds like if I went out just a little bit deeper I would have gotten into some bigger ones.

Jason,

Did you run the 1.5 dipsey 250 and the 3.0 dipsey 300 or vise versa?

I run 4 dipseys. And to keep from tangling from running 2 dipseys on one side of the boat you need to run them at least a 1.5 setting apart. Therefore, one side of the boat the dipseys were set at 1.5 and 3 and both out 250 feet. And on the other side of the boat, the dipseys were set at 1.5 and 3 and both were out 350 feet.

Hope this helps. Good luck.

Jason,

Did you run the 1.5 dipsey 250 and the 3.0 dipsey 300 or vise versa?

Billy and I run 4 wires a lot too. We generally run our inside wires (deep wires) on .5 settings. Our high wires (outside) are run on 2-2.5 settings. This spring in Wilson a typical set up for me and Bill was 300 and 325 on the deep wires, and 350-400 on the high wires. Just give it a try! Plan on wadding up one at some point, but they work well when there is a wire bite. We run them in 4-6's without an issue too.
