  1. There have been some really great reports out of the Sandy Creek since Memorial day weekend. The King bite has been very consistent and they have dominated most of the boats catches. Reports of some Kings in the low 20s too. On Sunday morning we left the dock just after 5:00 and headed for 100+ fow, west of the creek. We entered the lake to an incredible sunrise and more importantly a 1 foot chop and an overcast sky. We reached 150 fow, on a north troll, and setup on a very nice screen. While sending the second rigger down the probe rigger fires. King on! 70' down on an NK nbk. We continued a hot and heavy rigger bite for the next hour or so. It took us about an hour to get 6 rods in the water. Riggers 40- 70' down, loaded with NK and Stinger NBKs was the hot ticket. After the first hour the bite slowed down for us and the wire/dipsey bite turned on. 155' on the dipsey rods with green/crush on white smartfish took 4 fish for us. All of the action for us seemed to be between 40-70' down. We fished above and below that but couldnt seem to pull any of those fish. We ended the day with 11 for 15 (Kings, 1 steelhead, and 1 Coho).
  2. I only use an overhand knot. Its quick, simple, and strong. Also with a loop knot you can easily change your combo without having to retie
  3. Looks like most of us missed a good day. The lake looked real nice this morning. I was wishing i was out there when i left home for Brighton this morning.
  4. tabu, i run 20# Cortland fleaflicker and 15# triple fish copolymer mainlines on for my rigger rods. No leaders.
  5. Like YT said buy some junk lines and add that to your arsenal. Then add cheaters to your 2 rigger rods. You could easily run 2 dipseys, 2 lead/copper, and 2 riggers (with cheaters). You could have 8 baits in the water and be able to cover alot of different water.
  6. heres the link for captains cove: http://www.fishcaptainscove.com/
  7. Nice to see that you got out Brian. Hows the boat?
  8. Congrats! Looks like you had a much better weekend than all of us!
  9. Thanks guys. I had 3 different crews this weekend and everyone had a blast.
  10. Saturday May 23 Left the dock, headed straight out of the creek, and set up in 90 FOW. With some reports of some decient fishing in 90-100 FOW, I thought it would be a good place to start. It didnt take long and we were hooked up on the 6 color leadcore. We spent the morning working a small strip of water 90-110 FOW between the pumphouse and the woods, straight out in front of the creek. Not a ton of action on the riggers but 25- 80' down did produce some fish. NK purple thunder, NK nbk, and Stinger nbk all took fish. Wire divers out 280' w/ crush/green on white spinny accounted for a couple fish (kings) and 210' w/ crush/green on white smartfish w/ a Atommic ssw fly (Yankee toller will be happy) accounted for the two big fish of the day (king and big laker over 15#). The hot setup for us today was 6 color leadcore with a Stinger nbk, taking over ten hits. The problem with the setup was that the fish didnt want to stay hooked up on it. I did managed to snag another Captains leadcore with my very own leadcore today. I ended up cutting his spoon off my leadcore rig, sending down on my probe rigger (could help myself), and it pulled a king for us too. Thanks Scott ! Just before 11:00 we triple up and ended our day on a high note. A happy crew today including a very happy rookie who realized that theres more to fishing than bass fishing. Ended the day 17- 25+. Mixed bag of Kings, Steelies, and a couple of chickens. Sunday May 24 This morning we left the dock and headed right for the eastern end of our waypoints. We setup in 105 FOW and made a unsuccessful first pass through our waypoints. As we reach the end of our way points we turned east and tried another unsuccesful pass. Down temp was about 47 degrees down 75' which was about 3 degrees colder than yesterday. I thought we would swing it deeper and take a peek. When we hit 130 fow we hooked up. The screen and the action was best between 130-150FOW and east of the creek. We ran a very similar program to yesterdays. 8 color leadcore w/ a Stinger nbk really turned on for us as the day went on. Producing the first and the last fish of the day. Wire divers parked at 220' (one being a crush/green on white Spinny and the other a Smartfish crush/green on white) accounted for four of the fish today. The rigger action picked up alittle bit today and saw action between 35-60' down w/ Nk nbk and Stinger nbk. Ended the day around 11:00, 15 for 20 w/ another mixed bag of steelies, kings, cohos, 1 chicken, and 1 atlantic. Monday May 25 With the action of the past 2 days We headed right out to our waypoints looking for fish. We stopped in 90 FOW looking for a screen to fish and found some good bait and hooks in 135 FOW. Sent the first line down on the rigger, 65' down, and it fires. King on! Handed the rod off, went to the other side of the boat, and sent another rigger down and it fires before i finish setting the drag. Nice way to start! Doubled up! Rigger bite started really hot for us this morning with riggers parked at 45, 55, 65, and 75. (all loaded with Stinger and NK nbks). Leadcore 8 colors only went 3 times with a Stinger nbk. Wire diver out 220' w/ crush/green on white Spinny fired once all day but it put a 20# king in the hands of a 12 year old kid. We pull the lines at 10:00 and ended the day 13 for 15 w/ kings, a coho, and a couple of steelies. Today I forgot the camera, so no pics today.
  11. sounds like a pretty wild day by yourself out there
  12. SeaLion, ive been seeing them in sandy creek for about a week now. I havent seen any spawning activity yet in the creek but they are definetely in there. The kids caught one while we were dock fishing on sunday night too.
  13. The man has one of the best fishing shows on tv. I hope he recovers because he truly is a "unique character"
  14. Bob, actually he caught his first king last year and since then hes boated a few more. I let him fight a big steelie last year on a 10 color and the fish tired him out.
  15. So ever since the weather has improve my kid has been begging to go fishing. Fishing! fishing! fishing! Sometimes i think thats all he thinks about. Late last week i brought him over to the boat so he (well.. we) could fish from shore and we pounded on the perch, sunfish, rockies, and also caught 1 goby. 26 fish on a dozen worms, a great day for him and of course i forgot the camera. After days of begging to fish again we headed out again the other night. This time, camera in hand and 14 fish (9 of which he caught and he made sure to tell me). Heres some pics...
  16. Daiwa really does make good stuff. I run a bunch of 47H's, sealines, accudepths, and some accudepth plus. If your looking for line counters, I think if you spent your money on accudepth's (ad47lc) it would be good money spent.
