Insane Fishing 7/5 and 7/6 Out of Holland

[Reel E Hooked]

Fished Thursday night with a coworker and three guests.

Started dropping lines in 100 foot south of Port Sheldon. Depth Raider showed 58 degrees 75 down so we headed straight West. Didn't get half the lines out and took a double in 110'. Hit 120 and we were hooked up with another double. All four mid teen Kings.

Turned South and stayed in 120-130 all night. Ended up 22 for 28 or something really stupid. Started the night going 9 for 9 in 45 minutes. Every rod took fish but the deeper setups were best--300, 350, 450 Coppers, Riggers 70, 85. Greens were best for both spoons and flies. NBK was HOT! Moonshines--Flounder Pounder, Happee Meal, Mongolian Beef took some serious fish.

We had multiple doubles, triples and two Quads! Ended the night with a triple including a 19# King. 20 Kings mostly mid teens and 2 Steelies.

Went back out Friday night and took my Dad, son, and daughter. Also figured after Thursday nights non stop action needed another pair of hands and asked Kevin Lacey to come along.

Dropped lines in 120 and started on a West troll. Didn't have the fourth rod in and a corner rigger went off with Happee Meal down 70'. Fish came unbuttoned and we continued the bad luck streak and started 1 for 9 or 10. Finally ended up putting a few in the box. 8-10# Kings along with a couple nice coho.

Ended the night early just before 9 PM. Finished 9 for 25 or something stupid again. Same deal as Thursday night deeper rigs were best. Happee meal moonshine was probably the best lure.

We found the water warmed up some more and did our best in 130'-140' of water. Chalked up some serious equipment and tackle losses on a couple screamers. Two copper set ups with flasher flies and a dipsey set up all donated for taking over 50 hits in two nights!!

Ended the night taking a dip and cooling off!!!

Incredibly good fishing!

Nice trips Eric! Lost gear gives you an excuse to "restock"!

The low hook-up-to-land ratio seems to be the norm this year~feisty fish!!
