Legacy Sandy Creek Weekend Report May 12 + 13

[Legacy]

Mothers Day PM

With all the reports of incredible fishing on the lake this weekend its tough not to be out there. Once the mother's day festivities were over, we headed to the boat for a quick evening trip. Dead flat calm lake... (Amazing how a lake that big is able to do that).

With waypoints from the day before it gave us a start point in 100 fow straight off the creek. Before all the rods would get set... Wire diver would fire with 20# king. A start to a great evening out. Just like the day before flasher/ flies would dominate our set and we would run a strict King set.

Our set consisted of...

300' Blood Run copper off the big board w/ a Capt Valium Spin Doctor and a "Green Killer" fly

300' Blood Run copper off the big board w/a Green Dot Spin Doctor and a "Green Halo" fly

200' Blood run wire diver pulling a "Green Halo" Spin Doctor and a "Green Halo" fly

240' Blood run wire diver pulling a "Green Halo" Spin Doctor and a "Green Halo" fly

90' rigger w/ Stinger "glow gator"

105' rigger w/ Stinger "glow gator"

70' rigger w/ grn dot Spin Doctor and a "Legacy" fly

45-60' rigger w/ mupped Stinger NBKs

450' Blood Run copper down the chute w/a Green Halo Spin Doctor and a "Green Halo" fly

By the time our night was over we would have 26 bites with 21 making it to the net. Multiple doubles. Majority of it was Kings w/ the occasional small Laker mixed in. Once again Kings of all year classes w/ 3 around the 20# mark but the majority 8-14#.

May 12 Am

A scouting mission on Friday afternoon gave me a starting point off Hamlin Beach on Saturday morning in 100 fow and before the day was over we would see water 90-160' from RT237 all the way to the "can". We took a shot at a strict King set in the water and we were rewarded with an absolute great early May King bite off the waters of Sandy Creek.

Our set consisted of...

300' Blood Run copper off the big board w/ a Capt Valium Spin Doctor and a "Green Killer" fly

300' Blood Run copper off the big board w/a Gator Spin Doctor and a "Green Killer" fly

200' Blood run wire diver pulling a "Green Halo" Spin Doctor and a "Green Halo" fly

175' Blood run wire diver pulling a "Green Halo" Spin Doctor and a "Green Halo" fly

90' rigger w/ Stinger "mixed veggie"

105' rigger w/ Stinger "mixed veggie"

70' rigger w/ grn dot Spin Doctor and a "Legacy" fly

45-60' rigger w/ DW ss "glow frog"

note: We also ran a chute rod the entire day and it produced zero hits for us. (450' copper, 5 color core, 10 color core)

We started the morning with alot of dropped fish and at one point we had a landing percentage of less then 40% but as the day went on this greatly improved . By days end we had almost 30 bites w/ a catch of mostly Kings. The Lakers were there but only about 20-25% of our catch. Strange to think that there were no other species were boated. Kings of all year classes with the biggest pushing 18-19# but the majority were in that 8-14# range.
