Holland 6/5 am

[Paulywood]

Sorry for the late report, I started my new job this week and have been really busy. I also got home a little late on sunday. We ran out to 200' and headed SW. Picked up a king and laker as we were setting up. King came on a rigger 50' down on a BLL prototype that is red/orange/UV. We also missed a king on this setup in 220' a little later in the morning. I'll post a pic of it later. The laker came on a BLL Blue Halfstick on a fullcore. We took another king in 160' mid morning on a BLL Holo Green Dolphin on a 7 color. Our last fish was around 11 in 95' on a Blue Chilly Willy SS mag set on the SWR 65' down on a north troll. This was a big 'ol 13# laker. But my biggest catch of the day was a 21' Sea Swirl Striper caught on an anchor line in 120' just south of Saugatuck. Marty (ratchet) was also fishing the WMFL. He had his new GPS zoomed out and thought that he was just south of Holland. The night before he hooked up the boat and checked the gas gauge. He thought it read 3/4 full, but in reality it was less than 1/4 full. When you combine the 2 you run out of gas about 1 mile south of Saugatuck when you launched out of Holland. We ran down and towed him into Saugy so he could fuel up. By the time we ran back up to Holland and loaded up it was after 3pm. By my count we came up with roughly 5,000 jokes about why Marty purposely ran out of gas so far south just so he could visit Saugy. The people on my boat found them much funnier than the people on Marty's boat. He did get some consolation as his son gave him an early Father's Day present, 2 brand new Big Jon Pro Tournament riggers for his new boat. All in all it was a very interesting day, even though we couldn't seem to catch many fish.

Well done on both sides, some nice fish and a good samaritan job well done. As to the jokes about Saugy_____ Marty and crew need to toughen up and get over it. (LOL) The fine gentlemen in Saugatuck were glad to help them out, I am sure.

I was surprised Marty was able to pay cash for fuel, I figured he'd have to work it off!

Nick you are a good one1!
