holland 7-30 PM (late report)

[2MD]

fished out of Holland last night

2 for 7 - could not keep them on

all hits came 40-85 down with our best depth being around 115 FOW

large-size dipsey dialed to 2 and back 175 was the most active

lost one monster king that pulled the swivel apart

other hits came on riggers 55 and 65 feet down

full-core 10 color took a fish as well

Just a slew of boats out there - can someone tell me what that was last night? Is it a steelheaders club or something? At 6pm about 30 boats left the pierheads going out to troll. Heard one of the guys on the radio say he went 11 for 16.

Yes, Tuesday night Holland Steelheaders league. Go to www.hollandsteelheaders.org for more info.

If you're out Saturday or Sunday morning you'll see twice the boats going out for the Big Red Classic... www.bigredclassic.com. Weighin is at the Yatch Basin Marina at 2:00pm Saturday and Sunday if you want to come check it out.

Thanks for the reply Erik

Erik nailed it - you saw the group of boats headed out for the Tuesday night league. Erik normally fishes with us on Tuesday, but he was busy that night. Too bad, because we did go 11 for 16.

We caught most of our fish in 120 FOW just off Holland on a mix of lures and line types. Meat rigs worked well, as did coppers and 10-colors. Others in that area also had good success - our box was bested by at least 2 other boats that night. We found a pocket of fish and kept circling - I wish that happened more often!
