Sandy Creek first time out!

[Benfolkhero]

Took my dad out for a couple hours this morning at Sandy, first time out this year! No docks yet which made launching "fun"

The water was warm! 48-49 degrees on the surface (maybe from south wind?) we only managed one football brown... got it on a 4" chartreuse bay rat. 10' fow west of the mouth. Anybody else fishing at Sandy? Any success?

We were out this morning. Nothing hot and heavy but a slow pic all morning for us.

That'd s lot warmer water than we found yesterday. Best we could find was a hair over 42, but we were I the Mexico Pt - Selkirk area.

I was out a couple of weekends ago.  Got 4 and lost 3, fishing about 5 hours midday.  It was nice to get out.

Its Thursday 4/13 any docks in at Sandy yet?

 

How about at Irondequoit?

 

Looking to get out tomorrow but would like docks.

 

Thanks for info.

No bites. Fished from Shipbuilders to a couple miles east and back. Cold muddy water all over about 43 degrees. I was hoping the water would clear past Shipbuilders but it didn't.

That muddy water goes all the way past our Webster treatment plant intake on Basket Rd in Webster.  I wouldn't be surprised if it did not go to Ginna.

Still cloudy, buyt looks l8ike the mud goes past Sodus, yesterday.

It's all about the wind direction as we all know. We fished Mon with SSW breeze and water cleared up just past Shipbuilders. River water was getting pushed offshore.  IBay has a muddy plume but nothing like the river.  I believe the wind has been NW since Tues. keeping the mud nearshore.

I've seen it many times where it would clear up past Shipbuilders but not today. That pic posted by Lucky13 is great. Might not have gone fishing if I'd seen it before.

Fished Sandy 5:30-8:15 PM Thurs.night without a release, with 4 rods. I was surprised, water temp 46.9  creek temperature  50. Water was muddy out to 20 ft with the temperature out there 44.9. I guess there was nothing to concentrate the fish. Bummer!
