sandheads

<< < (2/3) > >>

I was out Saturday fishing the Sandheads too. I had my son and his buddy with me and we got a very large pink (in my experience, anyway), a couple of shakers, missed one, and two 18/19 lb springs. This time of year I only use anchovies in teasers, six feet behind a flasher. We were fishing 50 ft  on one side and 30 ft on the other. I still using up last years anchovies too! You just have to be there on the right tide, I think. Looks like lots more spring to come, according to what they're getting up north. I'll be out there again this weekend!

Stirring the pot eh. Lol. Always an idiot making some sort of comment. Makes me wonder why even post. Guess that is why we see reports here so rare. White hoochies. Chovies. Skinny G spoons. 50 and 60 ft. Playing the tides to the bite and location seems to help. 2.5 to 3.5 mph. Like 35 deg on riggers. Good luck see you out there.

I went out solo this past Saturday, as I couldn't convince either kid or the wife to come. I started out of the North Arm and headed toward the t-10. Once there, I noticed about 30 other boats (I didn't get into the water until 12:30 pm, as I was trying to catch the afternoon rising tide), and some fish on the sounder, so I stopped and worked the area for an hour or so. Nothing; and didn't see any caught either. I then decided to pull up the gear and head over to the south arm. I trolled the sandheads for a few hours, only seeing a few shakers come to hand and same for the other guys I spoke with. I stayed at it for about four hours before calling it a day and starting to troll back toward the t-10. I got in front of where the Coast Guard cutter was anchored and my 50ft line went off. Just as I set the hook the other side at 30 ft went off, so now I've a rod in either hand with salmon on both (as I laugh)! The first one spit the hook, so I could concentrate on the other one. I got him up close and he got inside the rigger cable and the boat so I ended up tailing him into the boat. A nice 19 lb white! I put fresh anchovies on both lines and get them back down, and I am just coming parallel with the Coast Guard guys again and boom, the 50 ft goes off again. It was so light, I thought it was a pink, but I ended up tubbing out with a nice 23 lb pea-head red. I didn't see anyone else with any all day, and no one I spoke to at the ramp got any either. I guess I got lucky!!
