holland steelheaders tourney 5/22

[ryan]

sorry for the late report on this. Set up in 100 fow a bit south of the Holland pierheads after the 7 oclock shotgun start and headed on a sw troll. Hooked our first fish on a dr 50 down and lost it at the back of the boat. k\Kind of came back to haunt us. The first fish we landed came on an nbk stinger on a free slider. All three riggers quickly were changed to nbk sliders and took two more kings and two lakers on them. At 8:30 we had five decent fish in the box. Worked 100 to 130 with no more fish. Finally after an hour we took a fish on a rigger 60 down with a half moonshine green with ladderback. Our last fish came on a 300 copper black/green ladderback moonshine. Seems like we get stuck on 7 alot in the tournaments. Did not pick up a fish in the last 2 and a half hours. For some reason we cant catch the small ones we need to round out the box?? Out of 41 boats we finished 8th, a respectable finish. Beat all the boats who weighed 8fish. Had 41 total pounds and suprisingly had the third highest weight. We were 10 pounds short of the winners who weighed twelve. We fished hard today and took some good lessons home with us. Congratulations to the Maatley Crew on their victory. Next stop is the Grand Haven Offshore Classic.

Very nice finish. Always nice to be within reach of the top. Makes you feel like you know what you are doing.
