Escape Sandy Creek Shootout & BFF

[GAMBLER]

Friday morning we started the morning off dropping the boat in at 100’ and trolling north.  We found temp very deep in the inside and not much better offshore.  We covered ton of water all day long without finding any consistent water.  We had a great day landing 10 mature kings including the BFF winner at 26.03 (also a LOC fish).  Saturday morning the game plan was to start in the mid waters and troll offshore.  We dropped in at 300’ to a blank screen.  We searched around for an hour before boating our first king (15lbs).   We lost two good rips on divers and then nothing.  We decided to checkout the inside since temps had changed in there.  We got into 240’ and boated a 21 and change king.  We worked that water for a while with two more good tips and both came unbuttoned.  At 11:00 am, we decided to go to our plan D and hit the laker waters.  We fished 150’ to target bigger on average lakers.  After pulling a bunch of small lakers, we finally found a pack of better fish.  We pulled two quick 15lbers in the last half hour to have a decent box.  At weigh in, we finished 9th overall, we won BFF and we also won the 2 Fish challenge!  A huge thank you to my crew, the tournament sponsors and the tournament organizers!  Here is what worked for us:
