Holland 6-6 pm - Late Report

[jdh]

I didn't want to report this as it's my first skunk of the year - but oh well.

We started a little before 8 pm in 40 fow fishing the cold water (48 surface, 42 at 20 ft or so) and working our way out 110 fow and slightly warmer water trying S, SW, W, NW, and N troll directions. Nothing.

Worked our way back in trying NE, E, SE troll directions. Nothing.

That's about it.

Got my second this year. The farther I wander the worse I do...

I've been counting the skakers this year to keep the skunk off......hmm what's that I smell?

I've reported 2 skunks so far. Caught fish on one trip out of 3 so far. Bout ready to drive to south haven or GH/ Muskegon unless holland picks up. Been tough this year. Might have to learn to like smoked sheephead

I'll just have to try again!

I think I know what the problem is (for the superstitious) - I have been using my grandfather's old Coleman cooler for the past 2 years and whenever I'm using something of his the fish seam to bite better. A week and a half ago, the hinges on the cooler broke so I replaced it. I just need to break the new cooler in and it's gonna be Fish On! again.

Its a lot easier to skunked this year, than in the past.
