Sandy 6/17

[dickey]

Took my dad out fishing for fathers day. 1st trip with boat in over 2 years so we decided to try Sandy instead of Braddock's. Ran a 6 rod spread with 2 wire dipsey's, and 4 spoons stacked on 2 riggers. 1st fish was on wire. Lost that one. 2nd fish was same rod, and my dad landed that one. Switched my port rigger to SD/Fly after 2 fish on SD/Fly. That port rigger set at 80 with SD/Fly hits and I lose that one. As I am resetting that rod the other rigger set at 96 fires and line starts screaming. After a few runs I get the fish to about 30 yards behind the boat, and the fish surfaces and kind of rolls and hook comes out. We get one more fish around 10:45am on same dipsey set up as before but my dad ended up losing that one. So we went 1 for 5 which is kind of rare. We are not experts but have never had so many fish come unbuttoned. 3 fish on Chrome dispey 2.5 setting, Mt Dew SD, and hammer fly line counter of 150 and all on port side. 1 fish on rigger set at 80 with white crush SD and hammer fly. Biggest fish was on rigger 96 down Die Hard spoon. I don't have down speed or temp probe. All fish in 150-170'. Saving up for a Fish Hawk and newer fish finder.

Don't feel bad, I go out of Sandy and on Sunday morning we lost around 13 fish and boated about 10. I've never had a day that bad. That evening we boated over a dozen and only lost one. I have no clue, but it happens. Keep at it!

It can be tough to keep them buttoned when they break for the surface and tear it up trailing a diver. The fish were full of piss and vinegar, with the exception of one lazy dog we caught right on the scum line. I thought I had a laker . Otherwise, spectacular! I'd rather have the show and lose them than land a bunch of underachievers.

Yes after 2 years of missing out on fishing it was great to be back out and fighting a fish is better than washing my gear. I just to need to buy a new FF and Fish hawk so I can increase my knowledge. Good luck out there.
