  1. Prayers to Jason and Trish. Just two very good people.
  2. Today we did 10 fish. 9 kings and one nice bow. Nothing over 15. We worked 400 back into 200. 50-80 down. Nbk stinger, gold 42 second, gator dw and an orange/gold spinny/42 second fly on the 300 copper. They only hit on a south troll. Very sporadic and no majors. All silver fish. 2.3-2.5 down. 200 was loaded with hooks and bait but family was in town, so we cleaned some fish and got out of there around 9:30. Back out Monday. Hope this helps.
  3. 2.7-2.8. We usually start around 2.4-2.5. If we find too many lakers, we speed it up. Where there's lakers, there's bait and usually kings. I always also run some larger sticks and at least 4 spoons in my program. Most of our kings have come on spoons. The other things to find are pea green water, close to the warmest temperature, diving birds, etc. I also use my lowrance to find the bait. There should be kings right in front of the creek. You'll sacrifice some numbers going deeper but will see the quality. I just try not to go too deep if it isn't green and reasonable in temperature.
  4. Thanks Billy! We'll either see you out on the water or at the marina.
  5. Worked west of creek in 15-30 fow. Black and silver, black and gold, clown and orange long a bombers. NBK and Orange/White/glow spoons were the ticket. 48.5 degree water was best. Five kings up to 23, big lakers, browns and a few coho. Lost a few other nice ones off the riggers. Tried to stay in the 47.8-48.5 green water. Not fast and furious but we had 30 bites. It's been a long time since we've had a king almost spool us twice. Other king were 17 lb. And the rest were in the low teens. They also wanted it fast. Great day overall. Tomorrow looks nasty but if it isn't as bad as they are forecasting, we'll be back out there. Good luck to everyone in the Spring LOC. Especially the Sandy Creek Boys.
  6. Sorry I'm late with this. Fished east early and did 20 plus fish including browns, coho, lakers and an atlantic between the woods and cowsucker in 13 fow. Gold and black, small pink and orange bombers, firetiger, nbk, DW frog and 5 of diamonds worked well. Swung west in 14-16 fow and lit up the fish around Newman's and from the pump to pier two. Did 30 plus fish but the focus was on kings. It resulted in a few teenagers, big browns, slob lakers and a few beautiful rainbows. Fishing is unreal.
  7. Lou, That's some tough luck and by the looks of the X-RAY, pretty close to becoming a whole lot worse. See you out on the water this weekend if things have healed up well enough.
  8. I wanted to take the time out to apologize to Tommy at East Fork Marina for the post made on this board about our derby fish. I take full responsibility for anything said associated with My Mink. I have known Tommy for over 20 years and have a great amount of respect for him. Again, I sincerely apologize to Tommy and any other other fishermen who were bothered by it. This all rests on my shoulders, so please don't take it out on my Father or the other guys on my team. It's my boat name out there, so I take full responsibility.
  9. Thanks for a great event Rob, Keith, Mike and Scott. It was a lot of fun to fish and a great time catching up with everyone. Charlie was awesome as the MC and I agree that he should do it every year. The food was great and it was an overall good time. Thanks again and we will be back in 2011.
  10. We went 18 for 20 in four hours. 180-220 fow west of the Pump. Tranny, 42 second spoon, Yeck Frog and a Wonderbread Spinny with Black and glow fly took most of the fish. The 85 rigger took 7 fish, the dipsey out 240 took 4 fish and our riggers scattered from 60 to 110 took the rest. Down speed was 2.4-2.6 and a North troll produced the most. There was a very nice class of bows out there along with 2 and 3 year old kings. Not a bad day. Good luck to everyone fishing tomorrow.
  11. Nice job Rob! I hope it holds up for you. It's good to see Sandy taking their share this year. See you out on the big pond this weekend.
  12. Tank, If Jay was fishing 118 down over 300-380 fow, wouldn't that be similar to fishing 30 down over 100 fow? Jay just keeps the rigger/depth of water ratio the same (3/10 for this situation) and he's good. I guess you and I were wrong after all. Just bustin chops like always. Congrats Jay and Jax. Nice fish.
  13. Went out this morning with Tank from "Fish Tank" on my boat. Put the first rod down and it popped. We had action until about 10:30. 4-6 on matures. The two we lost were hogs. Hot Spot Flashers and Meat going at a good clip was the ticket. We fished the marks and bait and the fish took care of the rest. They are there but you have to put in the time. Here are pics of the four we boated. Good luck.

  15. That was us in 90 fow. We started in the trench going 1 for 2. We stopped at the wrong waypoint and didn't fish our hotspot for the first hour. That's when we finally took a nice King a lost another one and then the quick morning bite out there turned off. I have had a lot of success inside, so we slid in and did very well for the next couple of hours. We went 9-13 in 90-100 fow. 210 and 150 on dipseys on familiar bite and mountain dew spin doc and hammer fly. We also had a lot of action on the bows 55 and 60 foot down on nbk's. We had our first triple, which was fun since we only fish four rods most of the time. Sorry I didn't post yesterday but I had family obligations. The fish are still there and have been all summer. The thermocline changes but if you work it, it will pay off. Good luck.
  16. I was out with Tank on his boat Fish Tank last night and we went 10 for 17 in that area. We did well a few days before on my boat in the same area and put a derby King on the board and lost another derby king behind the boat. Fish in and 5-7 ft. above and below the thermocline with your riggers, dipseys, etc. Green, purple and yellow are hot this year. Spin doctors and mags seem to be better right now. A lot more of our fish yesterday came when we had marks and bait on the screen but the big kings we have caught have come on blank screens, so that always doesn't have to be the case. Just stay with that thermocline, marks, bait and hopefully you move some rods. Never sit and wait for the fish to come to you. We made three big changes yesterday that resulted in 8 more strikes for us. Always be willing to move around from 100-200 fow and work the surface breaks. They do pay off. Good luck and hope to see you out there. We will be out Thursday. Have a good one.
  17. Congrats Scott. Good to see that your brown program paid off for you. Will see you out on the water at some point. Have a good one.
  18. Thanks for the report. Thinking of fishing tomorrow. Will let everyone know how it is.
  19. If you want to get out before you can get it in PM me. I have some time off right now and can go anytime. The boat is ready to go and the catching has been pretty good for us. Just let me know.
  20. Thanks Tank. I will stop by and say hi at some point. Good luck out there and give us a shout. I hope your radio is fixed by the way. It doesn't matter but i noticed while on Foster's boat it was pretty hard to get ahold of you. Have a good one.
  21. We catch and release everythng, so, i get them right back in the water. The bigger fish get weighed on the boca grip, dragged next to the boat on the grip and then released. I will try at some point but not at the expense of the fish. It's tough with two people. We also don't believe in cameras and ice. They same to jinx us but we will see.
  22. The days of fishing in calm weather and having east winds every three weeks or so are long gone. You must be willing and prepared to fish in rough conditions every time you go out. We always have the mindset that the lake condtions won't match the forecast and if the forecast is for 10-15 out of the west, it's more like 15-20 out of the west. And half the time, the wind prediction is incorrect, or off by a day, so you can throw that out the window. A calm day with a one foot chop is a bonus for us. Fishing is hard work these days and we decided a while ago to get a bigger boat because we didn't want to be limited by our boat on where we could go and when we could fish. The lake changes so much now that you may be in 60 fow today and 600 fow tomorrow. Weekends are so valuable to most that you have to fish them, no matter what. That's what we do. We only stay away when thunderstorms are in the area. Not interested in dealing with them. Sandy can be harder to fish because of the shortage of boats and reports during the week but i think it's even more rewarding to figure it out when it's like that. I hope everyone keeps up the reports. It does help and it puts Sandy on the map as one of the best places to fish on Lake Ontario.
  23. Feel free to contact us. We busted our butts for the first hour or so this morning before we got them going. There are so many variables that go into getting the fish to go these days. Everything needs to be just right. We have gotten pretty good at dialing in our presentation lately. It takes time, patience and some bad days for the good days to come. Stick around Sandy and feel free to PM any of us on the board. I myself get better by asking a lot of questions and reading a lot of artciles. You can never know enough. Good luck and have a good one.
