Sandy yet again

[rolmops]

This morning everything was hidden in some serious fog, so I chose to do some maintenance and cleaning until the fog would burn off. That took to about noon

I finished playing with transducers and the end result is that the 600 watt Airmar is a better choice than the 1kw. The cone on the 600 is wider, which at the depth we work at, is what I need.

Going out to check it , I found that the temperatures went way up.  Over 130 feet the surface at 57 and 50 foot down 54.7. I did not look for a thermocline but it might be setting up. Bait was plentyful at 50 down over a hundred feet. In the 2 hours on the water I managed one steelhead and one king, neither of them very big. It was my first steelhead of the year

I was out from 6:30 to 7:30 with my jigging rod. Looked from 60 to 180 and didn’t see any hooks or bait.

Fish when you can and make the most of it!  
 

It’s was a slow struggle today. Lots of bait and marks east of sandy to watoma bouy in 70-100 fow.   Also some nice screens in 140 fow NE of the bouy.  But few takers 
 

ended with 2 lakers, 2 small kings and a small Atlantic. 
 

no patterns. Diver, 300 steel, rigger. We threw everything at them. 
 

I will admit we dragged bottom with cowbells for 1 of the lakers 

 

Also donated lots of skin to the biting flies!

We were on Erie today, and the complete lack of wind made the bugs atrocious!
