A change of pace...

[Buc-Eye]

As a change of pace from usual walleye/perch fishing, a group of us takes a yearly trip up to Point Breeze New York to fish the Sandy Creek Shoot Out with the boys from Crazy Yankee Sportfishing. Friday, we pre-fished the tournament finding a nice mix bag of Kings, Steelhead and an occasional Laker. For Saturday's tournament we fished a little further east from the day previous looking for a larger grade of King Salmon. It didn't take long before the down rigger rods and the copper long lines started firing Saturday morning with bigger Kings. We slammed the fish in 100-120 FOW on herring meat rigs and A-Tom-Mik flies. Our 4 biggest Kings went nearly 91lbs which was good enough for 2nd place in the Shootout in a field of 46 boats. Though I am an avid Erie fisherman, Lake Ontario has the potential to ruin you. I am yet to see a walleye spool off 100' of drag!
