Sandy 8/7 temp is Houdini


Recommended Posts

Started off around 730 am at 80fow. Had temp 48 down 60' and was happy happy happy. Worked from 100-130 for most of the day picking up kings along the way half way down the column on moonshine mag spoons and blue dolphin spin/flies. 24# was the big boy of the day.

Went out with the old man who wanted a few shots at browns so we dipped into the temp break and fished 60-80 fow for the rest of the day and took 4 more shots- 3 of which we missed on two real big browns.

With the south wind the temp disappeared on us midway through the day as it went from 48* 60' down in the am to 63* 60' down at noon. Crazy how that happens!

Overall a 5-8 day from 730ish- 12.

Stole this half digested baitfish out of the mouth of a hungry brown

Nick  I was out last night for a little bit.  temps were up and so were the storm clouds  We had a crazy night fishing 100 fow. The fish really liked the rain.  Got a nice pic of rainbow in the background while fighting a fish. post-139677-0-01780100-1375993807_thumb.jpg

Still getting the hang of using a subtroll. 48 down 60 I understand. When you say you were picking them up half way down the column does that mean you had your

riggers down 30? Or were you running the balls 60, and picking up fish on a cheated spoon?

Thanks in advance!

Jim- we were in 100 fow. Took most of our shots between 40-60 ft Down.
