Walleye anglers strike gold
Sandy's Marina's live bait buyers are cashing in on the walleye all over the lake and river below the dam. The boaters are locating fish with their electronics and throwing jigs tipped with Sandy's minnows, crawlers, or leeches. The shoreline anglers are also cashing in buy using slip bobber rigs with leeches or crawlers casting out far and setting their slip bobbers at about 12 feet. You need to have some patience and faith...The fish are ready!!!!!!
HOW GOOD IS THE FISHING????
This story is should highlight the quality of fishing out of Sandy's marina and begins like this...........
It was a fine day in June....about 75 degrees and partly sunny.....this author had taken Robyn and
Guy Ritondales son Ryan and his friend out to catch some smallmouth bass using Sandy's leeches.
Myself and the boys in one boat and Guy and Robyn in the other. Both boats were catching allot of
bass using minnows and leeches. The one thing that happens to everyone out there is that your hook
can end up in a tree on shore where you are casting. This day was no exception. Robyn had casted up
by the shoreline and got hung-up on a tree.( like all of us do). The boys and I saw Guy slowly driving
the boat closer to shore to retrieve the hook. As Robyn leaned out to pulled the hook of the tree a
small wave pushed the boat away from shore causing Robyn to be "one with the fishes"...overboard....
in the cool waters of Belleville lake. We saw it clearly from our boat about 30 yards away..................
I looked over at the boys and said "and....moms in the water" I think we are done fishing for the day.....
the boys with a smirk and a giggle said..."OH YEA WE ARE DONE".....Then it happened.....Robyn
struggling back into the boat did not even dry off......leaned over.....picked up her rod......and resumed
fishing.......it was that day we all realized how good the fishing in Belleville lake was. Below is the fish
She caught 20 minutes later.
The history of Sandy's Marina
WINTER IS ALMOST OVER
SOON WINTER WILL BE OVER AND SPRING WILL BE HERE SO GET OUT YOUR RODS AND REELS, CLEAN UP YOUR TACKLE AND BE READY TO START THE CRAPPIE SEARCH. THEY CAN BE FOUND AND CAUGHT WITH SANDYS MARINA MINNOWS OR WAX WORMS. BUY PLENTY OF BAIT SO THAT YOU DONT RUN OUT ON THE WATER. ICE OUT SHOULD BE IN ABOUT 3-4 WEEKS OR THE END OF MARCH. CRAPPIES ARE THE FIRST TO BITE.
