Holland 8/23 Report + new boat

[Fish Tank]

Launched out of Ottawa Beach around 4:00 pm. It was a mad house. First trip in my 88' Lund Sport Fisherman. Ran great, cut through waves well and trolled down perfectly. It's my first I/O and the steering at low speeds will take some getting used to. So who cares about all that - on to the report.

Fishing was slow. We went 1 for 3 with a bonus giant shredded black tarp on 300' of copper. Temp break was low according to the radio chatter. 70 feet down was still 72 degrees.

6 pd King - D/W - pickled sunshine fly 130 down on rigger in 150fow.

Lost two others on riggers both on spatter back blue Silver Horde - 105 down and 120 down on riggers. in 140 fow.

So not so great but atleast the new boat floats.

Good job on the new boat! We've had a bunch of tough trips this year after getting our new boat as well, every boat takes some time to get dialed in I think. Getting used to different electronics, steering, speed sensitivity, spread, etc.....
