Sandy Creek 8/6-8/8

[Great_Laker]

Had a buddy from grad school visit this past weekend with the intent of filling his freezer until next year. Fishing nearshore (90-150') was very slow this weekend with only a brown, lake trout and small kings coming to the boat. Mix of lead core and down rigger bites from 60' to 120' down with spoons and cow bells. We didn't wander offshore until Saturday afternoon which was a mistake. From 360-480' we had great screens with rainbows and kings. Most came on down rigger down 60' or 80' with black spoons and green dolphin. We did have one double header on steelhead on a 10 color and a downrigger that was a blast. Speeds ranging from 2.0-2.8 at the ball. Cold temp was consistent around 80'. Biggest were 13 lb king and 8.7 lb steelhead
