We finally made it out of port sheldon ( our home port) for the first time this year. After our tough day sunday in the South Haven Pro Am we were ready to take it out on the fish. We fished from 5pm to sunset and ended up 12-16. A few small cohos and a bunch of king in the 4 to 8 pound range. 1 steelhead(released) and one king around 12 pounds. Coppers in the 150, 200 and 2 300s took 7 fish out of ten bites. Mag green dolphins, flounder pounder blue, and half moonshine greem with a ladderback ( thanks team double down) on the coppers. Area 51, mongolian jp slammer, and agent orange moonshine took fish on the riggers 40 to 60 down. Our biggest fish came on a wire 275 back with a 10 inch glow frog racer spinny and a pickled sunshine fly. 90 to 120 was the best. marked lots of bait and northeast troll worked best. Good to see the nite bite goin strong. Thursday morning we headed south out of port sheldon expecting to set the world on fire. But the fish had other plans. We fish from 90 to 205. 6 for 10 with 3 kings 12 to 14 pounds. 2 kings about 1 pound each and a 7 pound steelie (released). the bigger kings were caught on flounder pounder blue on 300 copper, lite tackle rigger with half moonshine green laderback 50 down, and 11 inch white paddle/ oceanic fly 130 dow on the chute rigger. The two dinks were caught on a jp slammer carmel dolphin on the 150 copper. When we hit 185 we threw out a double orange crush on a half core and caught the steelie. 10 min later we lost a big steelie on the same setup. Beautiful morning to be on the water. Holland Steelheaders tournament on Saturday. The Wild At Heart Fishing Team is ready to rock!
