Long Lines Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 A couple of friends and I took the afternoon off work and hit the water out of Holland yesterday at around 2:00 PM and fished until after sunset. Motored straight west to 180 fow where we started setting lines. Trolled west to 235 and turned back east as the Lowrance went blank. Best marks were in 170 - 200, caught all of our fish on west and east trolls in 185 - 220. Crazy thing is we took all of our hits from 2:30 - 4:00 or 5:00 and then nothing the rest of the night. Cold water (<50 F was down below 100' mark). 4/5; two steelies and two kings 100 copper with DW SS, Captain Gary's Orange MI Dolphin took the nice steelie right away. Rigger down 90 with UV blue dolphin came unbuttoned shortly after release. 250 copper w/ Moonshine, Happy Rock took a king. 300 copper with Moonshine, Blue Jeans took a king and a small steelie. Beautiful evening and had a great time; hope this isn't the last trip! http://www.greatlakesfisherman.com/gallery/files/3/4/5/8/holland_10-2-13_2-1.jpg' alt='holland_10-2-13_2-1.jpg'> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Lines Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 Thanks Keith from Hawghunter and everyone else. Feel free to give me a shout on the radio...if i am out there i will gladly share info with anyone. Learned a lot from guys on this site...can't say how many posts my fishing partner Nick and I have read from guys like Nailer, Dave Ash, Ben Lubbs, Dirty Dog, Wild at Heart, Far Beyond Driven and many others. Lots of good tidbits of info on this site from helpful people; especially for those getting started or struggling finding the bite. Will try to be as helpful as I can given my still very limited experience. Its on my list for mext year to play hookie more often! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
