Sandy 8/3/25

[GAMBLER]

Saturday the guys off Sandy did well offshore.  With those reports, we headed through the sloppy conditions and set down in 350' on a NW troll.  We struggled to find any kind of screen or consistency.  We ended up with four small kings to show for 4 hours of trolling around out there, We decided to head into the shallows to put Keith's son Mason on some fish before heading in.  It didn't take long once we set up in 15-30.  A great late morning brown bite ended up turning the day into one Mason will never forget!  Our Fourth fish hit a board rod with a 1oz weight and a Stinger Stingray Black UV tuxedo and immediately started peeling line.  After a long battle, we boated Mason's personal best brown at 16lbs.  At 11:30, the wind switched WNW and started pushing warm water in.  62 degrees was down 7' when we started and it was down 21' when we pulled and headed for the dock.  We ended up doing a bunch of browns and a very nice class of them at that, 2 of the fish we boated would have made the Summer LOC board if it was still running!
