Wednesday PM report- Sandy Creek

[fosterm22]

Went out for a quick trip with my father and my 5 year old son. Left the dock at 5 PM- ran out to 100 FOW. Had really bad temp so we decided to troll north. At 140 FOW- hit a nice 20 LB king down 70. It was our deep rigger- running in 41 degree water. Home by 6:15 PM

When I say we had bad temp- it was 68 degrees down 55 feet, and 44 degrees down 60 feet. Huge temp break- but so tight in the water column- it was impossible to get more then 1 rigger in the zone. We marked lots of fish laying on the bottom- from 120 out to 145 FOW.

This was the first trip for the 5 year old for anything other then bass. Hopefully it did the trick and has him hooked for life.

Scholl Master, after speaking with you I decided to drop in at the 130 level.. Second rod in fired, boated a 20+ King.30 minutes into a West roll a diver fired. While bringing that one to the boat a rigger rod fired both fish were again 20+. As I was clearing rods for the ride in. the last rod in, a diver, fired with another good King.

Did not really mark much.The fish were high. Deepest rod was 60 down, divers out 130 .

NK Blk/GR/Glow and a Glow SD with Gr. Fly took the hits.

I will be back out tonight weather permitting.

Glad to hear that you gentlemen are doing fairly well even with the temp being off.

I would love to be out there this week, but between the hilton carnival, the moody blues, a family party and the spencerport canal days it looks like the wife is in charge of my weekend activities....

Perhaps sunday morning....I can sneak out real early...

Good luck and stay safe!!

Pat

great to hear that you did well. The PM bite has been really great for us recently. Hopefully it will stay good so we can put some fish on the board for the Orleans County Derby next week.

I would like to say thanks to you Pat for the info and letting us follow you around. I am Ron in the boat I now call Aoxomoxoa. Since we saw you going out and heard part of your conversation with School Master I made the westward turn along with you at around 130' after making a loop to put some distance between us.

It took a little while but after you basically pointed the fish out to us and just before we went in we finally hooked into what turned out to be a 15 pounder. It was an ice breaker for my boat being the first King I have actually gotten in the boat. My neighbor was on the rod and it was his first king ever. It was great feeling. I don't care who reels it in anyways, I actualy like it more when my passenger gets to catch them. I think we lost/missed 2 other hits but it didnt matter. Browns are awesome and after a day of nothing a laker is still a fish caught but the first King in my own boat is totally the best!

Thanks again,

You and everyone on Sandy are a credit to fishing with all the help and info you share.
