Holland 7/13 AM

[Dr Hook]

Don't know if anybody really needs this report since it seemed like everybody and their grandmother was out today.

5 for 5 with 2 coho, 2 lakers and one steelhead. Set lines in 75 fow and trolled SW with main strategy being avoid the pack at all costs.

Landed a double in 85 fow with 12 lb laker on UV Spindoctor Big Weenie Last brunch fly 75 down and coho on 150 copper with dreamweaver blue spatterback plug.

Began heading out as it got busier and picked up another laker in 95 fow on Pink Panties off rigger 55 down.

4th fish was another coho in 115 fow on the rigger with Pink Panties 55 down again.

Moved in to 75 fow as the pack slid out and took a nice steelie on braid dipsey set to 3 and back 135 feet.

Good fishing all!

Gotta love those Wed am trips! Had to make it a solo trip on Thur this week and had to quit early but nabbed the biggest king of the year yet and a nice coho for a 2 for 2 day with out much traffic where I was anyway as I trolled west.

[Dr Hook]

Yeah, hopefully the weather will hold out this week

Thanks for the update Kabet

Nice job guys...you are right about everyone being out...nice weather, no waves, and fishing reports later last week showing improvement...I think I counted 300 boats in 80 to 120fow between Holland and Saugatuck. BUSY.

We ended up with one fish stayed in 70' to avoid the nuttiness. Managed to break off my own full core in the middle of the core without any help. Found a board though, no name on it so it's mine. Loved the radio chatter one boat called my buddy on the radio and told him he was cutting in front of him. Buddy pulls boat out of gear and tangles up his whole spread for over an hour. Then the guy who cut him off comes on the radio crying that he lost two coppers. Guy next to us in a big tiara, both guys in the stern on autopilot plowing a path not watching... Next time I'm going way away from the pack.

Note to Kevin and Mark. Much more peaceful in my neck of the woods.
