Holland Big Red Classic 7/29 - 8/2

[Dr Hook]

Pretty much fished the same water from Tunnel Park to Port Sheldon in 80 - 100 feet all week.

Wednesday went 4 for 4 with 2 kings 2 steelhead.

Thursday no fishing too bumpy.

Friday 2 for 5 for the Ladies tournament 1king 1 steelie.

Saturday 5 for 9 including first coho of the year, 3 kings and 1 chromer.

Sunday 1 for 1. Started out looking like it was going to be a good day with first hit off rigger 80 down in 85 fow, but just couldn't get anything more going. Moved out to 130 with no marks past 110 fow. Pulled lines with waves in the 3-4 foot range about 30 min before the announcement to cancel the rest of the day.

Kings were all pretty much cookie cutter in the 10-12 lb range, steel about 6-8 and coho about 5.

Ran 5 color, 7 color, 150 copper and 225 copper in addition to 3 riggers and braid dipseys and all took hits except for my mid depth rigger. Best however were RV blue flounder pounder on 150 copper, Glow/metallic green on white spindoctor with Big Weenie proctologist off the deep rigger, and my usual Big Weenie Bushy Beaver and Last Brunch flies off the dipseys 120 - 165 feet back.

All in all fishing wasn't fast 'n furious but pretty consistent and better than the prior two months. Looks like it might be back to square one again after this blow.
