Legacy @ Sandy Creek 4.26

[Legacy]

Fishing continues to be nothing short of ridiculous. 50 plus fish with a mixed catch of Browns, Cohos, and Lakers equaled a day full of Chinese fire drills. Yesterday we straight line trolled from Hamlin beach to Cowsucker Creek from west to east and then east to west. We found lots of good water in tight (8-12 fow). Most of it stained (and to my surprise, not muddy) and all around mid 40s in temp. The big difference this week is the bait has shown up. Everything we caught seemed to be spitting up bait. Gobies, Niagaras, and alewives all found the deck of the boat. Inside the creek is also seeing its fair share of bait. Challenger sticks in goby and chart took their fair share of fish but DW spoons were king yesterday. Dreamweaver super slims off the riggers (65' and 55' down 7') and slide divers ( back 90', out 101') provided the majority of the action for us. DW ss caramel dolphin was the best bait to hit the water yesterday but yellow goby, glow orange slurpee, orange gangster, steelie cane, mixed veggie, and glow frog all took shots.

Really nice report Legacy, it's always appreciated when a knowledgeable person gives a report with all the details, what kind of lures, what color, and how they were presented so us less knowledgeable guys have an idea how everything works. Thanks PAP.

Nice report sounds like great action.So I take it you are letting out about 11' or so of line out to where your Slide Diver is and 100' from diver to spoon?What setting do you like to use? I have tons of Slide Divers and have only used them a few times.They have been in my box so long. I am sure the surgical tubing that comes with them turned into dust years ago.

When setting slide divers... i reel the slide diver to the tip of the rod and then reset the counter. I grab the slide diver, release the spool, and drop the rod in a rod holder. I bring the diver to the same level as the reel counter and run out the line. In this case I run out 90' of line as per the linecounter and lock the slide diver in place. i then drop the slide diver in the water and count out another 11' feet. The actual distance between the diver and the rod tip is 11' plus the length of the rod (8'). So the actual distance is probably closer to 20' not 11'. For shallow water fishing im using a 5 setting, in all hopes to get the greatest pull away from the boat.

I've been doing 10' and have had lots of action on them. Lol
