Legacy- Sandy Creek Report May 12

[Legacy]

A scouting mission on Friday afternoon gave me a starting point off Hamlin Beach on Saturday morning in 100 fow and before the day was over we would see water 90-160' from RT237 all the way to the "can". We took a shot at a strict King set in the water and we were rewarded with an absolute great early May King bite off the waters of Sandy Creek.

Our set consisted of...

300' Blood Run copper off the big board w/ a Capt Valium Spin Doctor and a "Green Killer" fly

300' Blood Run copper off the big board w/a Gator Spin Doctor and a "Green Killer" fly

200' Blood run wire diver pulling a "Green Halo" Spin Doctor and a "Green Halo" fly

175' Blood run wire diver pulling a "Green Halo" Spin Doctor and a "Green Halo" fly

90' rigger w/ Stinger "mixed veggie"

105' rigger w/ Stinger "mixed veggie"

70' rigger w/ green dot Spin Doctor and a "Legacy" fly

45-60' rigger w/ DW ss "glow frog"

note: We also ran a chute rod the entire day and it produced zero hits for us. (450' copper, 5 color core, 10 color core)

We started the morning with alot of dropped fish and at one point we had a landing percentage of less then 40% but as the day went on this greatly improved . By days end we had almost 30 bites w/ a catch of mostly Kings. The Lakers were there but only about 20-25% of our catch. Strange to think that there were no other species were boated. Kings of all year classes with the biggest pushing 18-19# but the majority were in that 8-14# range.
