Salmon_slammin Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 Went out of port Sheldon tonight. Beautiful night! Finished 6 for 6 with 4 cohos and 2 nice kings. Set up in 90 FOW, went west for a bit then turned around made it back into 90 and trolled north. picked up two going north, then four going south in the same depth. First fish was probably an hour and a half before sunset. This nice coho came on a rigger with a 11" glowing green perch paddle with a pickle kisser fly. Immediately after this fish hit the cooler out 200' copper went off, we manged to land this good coho easily. It was hungry for a SD dot closer with a proctologist fly. Next fish was on a south troll right around sunset. This coho took the same rig as the first one at the same depth. Next fish was on a dipsey set on 3 120 feet back. Another coho on an nbk fly with a green and white 10" flasher. The big boys staged at dark, starting with our 300 copper. We ended up hooking into a double as our dipsey popped at the same time! We landed both nice kings around 17 lbs. On the 300 copper was a big white paddle with a DW mixed fruit. (Very good fly!) on the dipsey was a blue bubble set on 1 100 feet back. In case you are wondering we were the boat who called on the radio asking for help! We thank you for your help and response, we were towed in by some great guys! Had some good karma from towing in a oat out of holland last week! HA!

tgafish Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 Good Job boys. We went 6-7 in the same water between PS and Holland. 6 kings landed and 1 ho knocked off with the net trying to get fancy netting a double:rolleyes:Pretty cool listening to 3 different boats answering your call for help. When we set down in the arms we heard your call and tried to answer seemed like you werern't receiving on the radio. Shortly after heard buster found you so he must have been real close:thumb:
Wheres Joe Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 Did you guys encounter the Fog there in PS? Almost got T boned by 2 or 3 boats out past 90 FOW. Could not see past the bow of the boat. Then of course there was the nets we had to manuver around. just after 8PM we had seen enough and tucked tail. Number of guys trolling the channel but did not see anything go....

We had fog in Grand Haven. Pretty thick at times but cleared in about 100 FOW. The pier was very foggy when I went in.

Still haven't figured out the problem, but pretty sure it has something to do with the battery.

The pier was very foggy when I went in.Yup it was thick in close at 5PM. We motored out at about 12mph SW out of PS. Hit a nice hole in the fog around 95 fow halfway to Holland. Could see a good half mile. Sat down in there and the fog continued to lift. Never an issue all night and completely gone by sunset
