Holland 8-18 AM

[Hockey390]

Setup north of piers in 35 FOW, worked NW. Had decent marks between 40-60 but no takers. Got to about 80FOW and had to pull lines because of the storm. Headed back out at 10:30 and trolled SW from 60-80, taking one nice steelhead in 75 FOW on DR down 55 back 80, sexy veggie spoon. Turned back E and trolled all the way to the pier heads. Was a tough morning and waves on the 2nd time out made it hard to do what we wanted. Trolling with waves couldn't keep the speed at the ball under 3 and into the waves had to almost hit 5 SOG to get to 2.5 at the ball.

We used a combo of flasher/flies, spoons, and meat. Was disappointed I started so shallow not knowing we wouldn't have enough time to hit a little deeper area.

Also seemed a lot of guys at the launch didn't catch anything so most reports I'm seeing today are the minority. Kicking myself for not going this morning as the weather man appears to have been bass ackwards again.
