Went out to the shipping lanes this AM. Same result as you. Blank screen for the most part got out to 200 fow. Marked a few small bait pods very few fish marks. Parked riggers deep and shallow ( 20-30 ft) dipseys out 150 and 250 quit at noon. Never moved a rod. Threw everything at them. Spoons , FF , cut bait. No one home. Very rarely do I see a constantly empty screen oh well. July is coming. The June doldrums are upon us

Had the same thing last night. Same thing. Couldn’t get a bite if I offered em money. 

Nice sorry you can’t get on them. I went on oneida this morning and caught a limit of walleyes!

Thank you for the report.

Out at 5:45am, went right to 155fow.  Trolled until 9:30 when we landed a laker, 10 minutes later an 8lb steelhead, 5 minutes later a coho.  Trolled until 3:15 when we got our next hit but broke off at the leader. All spoons, all 40-70’ down.  Beautiful day on the water.

 

IMO Sandy Pond seems to be more for pleasure boaters than fishing boaters.  That’s fine but man that skinny water inlet sure gets crowded.

Right on. That beach is used for pleasure

Lamprey sucked out all the blood

Uugh man I hate them things

I have hit 70 with 250 out in my wire rod. Actually got hung up. I do not know how much further I could go. Surface speed was 2.7, but I don’t know the down speed. If it was under 2 down there, I think it could. 

Ive never heard of someone hooking a FH to their dipsey, that’s creative.

for my spread, the mags are overkill but I see the appeal. My riggers are the deep runners, my dispseys are usually for 65 and 55. So for me particularly, I don’t need anything more.

the lamprey

Thanks. Needless to say we did not let the lamprey go quite as alive as he was when he came aboard 🤷‍♂️👍

I get confused when people say “sandy” and Braddocks together when there’s sandy pond too

Yes it was stiff - mono - I would have preferred to have it looser, but the drag kept slipping due to speed and depth of the rigger I assume (think I had it at 100 foot down)

Then that’s what my money is on. In the event that I don’t have eyes on my riggers 100% of the time, I’ll actually turn down the drag stiffness to sacrifice a large rod load up in the rigger for exactly this reason. 

One more thing- when filleting that salmon, his fillets looked like a mid September fillet. Very deteriorated I thought. To note, he did have a large lamprey on him. What would cause this? Here’s my list of possibilities:

1.) he’s been in very shallow and warm water

2.) it’s the way they are this time of year

3.) he’s old as hell

4.) he prematurely wanted to spawn 

Nice laker! How was the drag set on your rigger? If it was stiff, a screaming salmon could very easily wipe your whole set. What line broke? Mono, flouro? Another possibility is it crossed another taught line. When two lines under pressure cross, they will break extremely easy. 

Lake O claimed another set, sorry buddy ha been there and will again it happens

We only caught one more, 15” king lol but we slid in a bit on the troll back home and started hitting good marks at 80FOW down ~75

I was doing a test with magnum dipsy divers and hit bottom 100 ft down with 266 ft of wire. Just in case you had some

I haven’t used mags in a while. They’re very much so overkill to me. I use the regular ones with my wire rods

YES!!!! Thats awesome.  Weather lookin good this weekend so far, I will be up friday night. 

Thank you. I don’t know where the wave forecasters get their info, but there’s been 2-3’ waves all night. I’m waiting for it to settle down

Nice fish, how is the temp?

Thanks. Surface is 63, I don’t have a FH.

Well that's interesting, I've literally never heard of anyone doing that before. You learn something new everyday I guess, appreciate the explanation! 

Sure. With the price of herring though, it can get expensive lol

Lol. Thanks buddy. 
yea I was gonna run like I did last trip. Start around 50’s and slowly work out to deeper water untill I start markin them. Guess its time to Start running 2-3 FF’s In the spread. 

The white meat rig/white flasher combo is, in my experience, the best salmon bait I have found. It outfishes everything else I have 2:1. 

I’m kayak camping until Sunday 😎 fish are all yours!

Nice to see a report. I took the last couple weekends to get caught up on work and yardwork. If the lake is decent I’ll be up this weekend.

Thanks guys. I noticed no one was really posting detailed reports out of Mexico though I know there’s been fishing happening. Hachimo I recommend starting at 55 if you go
