Sandy 8.17

[NickR]

Fished out of temp today and managed 3-3 with a 22,18 and a 4# steel

The two kings came down 100 and 115 over 190fow

Steel came out deep in 310 70 down.

Temp is still LOW as we barely broke 60* a few times. Didn't bother trying to get to temp as we were fishing hooks and bait all day. 70' down seemed to be the sweet spot for hooks, just couldn't get anything going.

Oh well.

Got a report today from the king of sandy and he faired well in 130' fishing the lower column. LOL

We did opposite today. We set up in 350 headed north and within 20 min had triple of majors on. Me and my buddy fought two while the other ripped next to us. Landed a 23 and 22 lost the third. Stayed at 390 to 400 530 till noon re circling way point as we landed fish. Every pass another fish. Best day of our season. We landed 7 kings 20-25 lbs. 4 kings 12-14lbs. And couple stealies. We got so tired of resetting lines we decided to mix it up and look for some Lakers inside. Shot into 250fow and started marking on the bottom. Sent riggers down 200ft and headed south. Ended up two more mid teen kings. Go figure all season we had lakers on demand. Today we went after them and couldn't get a bite. Trying to load pics but having trouble. Today was east of the nose tomorrow heading west . Should be another good one. We ran 7 spin doctors and flies all day (no spoons) . Most fish came off wonder bread SD and Ultra white atomic or neon green color.

Back after the kings today and we got schooled right away by the fish. We setup everything the same as day before, color location speed but nothing around. Stuck it out for hr or so before heading north looking for bait. By 465 fow the screen got active but no takers........ so we changed from white SD and neon green flies to dark SD and green hammer fly. Instantly got hits in 530 flow. By now it was 9 am and only fishing till 11. But we felt confident at least, we headed east and stayed 540-520 fow and ended with 4 nice fish and lost 2 steelies on sliders. Kings were 26 22 and 18 lbs and a beautiful Atlantic about 10lbs. Learned a lot today and caught some nice fish. Can't beat that. Until next weekend.......
