NickEverse Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Well we had some fantastic days of fishing this week prefishing for Big Red. There are ALOT of big kings out there, the key is trying to pin point them. We found bigger kings earlier in the week but we lost their pattern as the week went on. We mainly stayed between 95-120 FOW south of Holland. Top 60 foot of water was hot but there are plenty of lakers to be picked up if so desire. Our riggers took a good number of fish throughout the week running 11inch Big Weenie white paddle with an Arctic Blast fly and Green Frog Spin Doctor with a Proctologist Fly. Kevorkian and Mountain Dew Spin Doctors on the high divers anywhere from 150-200 back were taking larger fish this whole week. Low divers with the same 11 inch paddles and a Chrome SpinDoctor with a Mirage fly. Coppers weren't on fire but they all pulled fish. Our 150 had a green glow plug, 200 Kevorkian SpinDoctor and the 250 with an 11 inch paddle. We ran generally slower early in the week anywhere from 1.9-2.2 at the ball. Our probe is now reading consistently in 105 FOW down by the last slider, if you catch what im saying. Our saturday box for BR weighed in at #73.76 and our day two box weighed #68.48. We ended up in eighth place out of forty two boats in the AM division. Thanks for all the help on here and it was nice meeting some on you! Lets hope these big kings stick around!

Dr Hook Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Congrats! on the finish. We fished some of the same water but didn't do quite as well on the weight. I also believe I met your dad on the dock. Whoever it was seemed interested in hardtops.For what its worth, we went 11 for 11 over the 3 days of the tournament. A 14 lb king in the amusement park conditions for the Ladies Tournament, 6 fish on Sat and 4 on Sunday, for 20th overall. Most hits came on riggers down 70 - 85 feet, 300 copper with blue spatterback plug took 3 hits, and one hit one a braid dipsey 3 setting 210 back with blue/chrome spindoctor and blue fly.

FishDew'd Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Congrats on finding fish. We struggled Sat with one fish but found 5 yesterday with a 22 lb'er setting a record for our boat. As you said, lots of big fish if you can find them.Kraig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
