Holland 8-31 am/pm


Recommended Posts

Made a double trip of the day going out in the morning, and again in the evening. We found the fish very eager to bite in the am. The evening turned out quite poor comparably.

AM Trip: 10-12

We started setting lines in 80 fow slightly south of of the pier heads and began swinging between a SW/W/NW troll pattern. We got our first fish in 100 fow around 6:30. 2nd in 110. Missed one in 125. 3rd, 4th, and 5th came in 130. Turned north in 160 and we quickly got the 6th, 7th, and 8th fish and another miss. Made a turn in and turned back west in 125 fow. Slow until we got our 9th fish in 180 fow. Turned back east and picked up our tenth in 160 feet on. Overall we had 6 kings, 2 coho's, 1 steelie, and 1 laker. We let the smallest king go (3-4 lbs?) and the laker go as he looked under 20 inches.

What worked:

2-3. Rigger @ 65 ft -standard size flounder pounder

1-1. Rigger @ 90 ft - mag double trouble

1-1. 200 Copper - mag orange flounder

2-2. Mag Diver back 165 - kevorkian spin doctor & white fly

2-2. Mag Diver back 150 - 10" chrome frog SD w/ meat rig whole alewife

0-1. Standard Diver back 250 (on 3.5) - BW blue dot UV meat w/ herring strip

1-1. Rigger @ 110 ft - mag orange carbon

1-1. Rigger @ 65 ft - lemonberry mini-streak

PM Trip: 1-4

Couldn't get anything going. Tried Deep/Shallow/Fast/Slow/N/S/E/W.

What got hit:

0-1 Rigger @ 100 ft - Blue Bubble SD

0-1 Mag Diver back 150 - 10" chrome frog SD w/ meat rig whole alewife

0-1 Mag Diver back 165 - kevorkian spin doctor & white fly

1-1 Rigger 65 feet - standard size flounder pounder

Overall a great day. The big ones should be showing up near the pierheads soonish right?

Tight lines everybody.

A double trip quickly turns into a very long day! I got up around 3 am and got home around 1 am. Needless to say, I was a little tired all day yesterday. As long as i'm out there, I might as well put both trips in though.

I kept the speed down this time Bob. I've been running 2.2-2.4 lately. I'll wait for the water to cool down in October - then you'll be seeing me running 4+ mph looking for steel or whatever else wants to bite!
