It really never got rough out there. Did have some heavy rain and a little lightning but not close to us. Tomorrow looks fine, just going to delay our start a few hours.

Interesting day to say the least. Left port at 5:30 and dropped in 120 and headed north. Picked our way to 570. Picked up a few kings and bows but never say anything consistent. Weather got funky and all the warnings were a little concerning. We pulled and ran back into 120 and finished our trip. Thankfully we found more kings and a nice Atlantic. Took shots on just about everything we ran with no top producer. Ended the day with 9 kings, 5 bows, 1 Atlantic and 4 lakers. Folks were happy and went home with full coolers. First time I’ve fished during a tornado warning lol. The weather alerts on the radio were a concern but we kept an eye on the radar and none of the lightning was close to us thankfully. out again in the morning.

Some interesting conditions this weekend but parts of both days should be worth taking a look.

spool it on an empty line counter reel. See what it says and spool it back after.

Sign of the times Manny. Sad

When that launch was built the lake was maintained at a lower level. Pre 2014. When it was built there was no reason to believe it would become an issue.

Im out of Sandy as well. I fish the nose to lighthouse. My point I guess is I would have no interest in walking on mossy wet wood to launch a boat. Should that be the case I would launch at Bald Eagle or any other place close.

well it is the Sandy Creek Shootout lol.

Took some folks from NH out today. Went 0 for 7 the first hour but oh well. ended up with 10 kings and a bow. Released half a dozens shorts and skips. smoke was thick and water was warm. Best water by far was 330 and 400 coppers pulling meat and divers out 200 took most shots. Didn’t catch a decent king on spoons. Had three over 20 with one just over 23. Conditions are changing rapidly and the weekend looks interesting.

For browns? Yeah I’ll give you that. kings and Bows? No shot.

Hard to know if people are too cheap to pay$10, or don’t like trying new places, or think another 6 miles is too far. To also get to drop just west of the nose is a plus too. Half the launchers at Sandy burn more in gas getting there to fish than if they drove and paid. Can lead a horse to water but………..

Bald Eagle is right up the street guys.

Nope he’s too busy protecting criminals and illegals.

Absolutely. When it’s an unsafe situation which it is, they should shut it down. I may be wrong but I think it’s a state launch not a Hamlin launch. Hamlin is probably responsible for cutting grass.
