Holland 9-25 pm

[FBD]

After nearly a month off got out in nasty tight SE chop last night.  From 65' to 80' on a SE troll took three big sheep on a slide diver back 125' on a mixed veggie NK28.  Then a small sheep on a swr flounder pounder down 35'.  Slugged into them to 60', lots of bait in there.  Buildingwaves,and ugly radar compelled us to quit at 7.  Found two small coho and a brown riding along when we pulled lines.

Those draggers are costly in lost catches.

With the chop reading rod tips wasn't really an option.  We had our suspicionson two of them but boat control was such a nightmare we weren't about to cycle through the rods 20 minutes before we quit.

I understand, been there.

Quit early to avoid getting wet from rain then got drenched from spray at 7 mph. My 14' doesn't yield much to the waves...

Kudos for going out and gutting it out!  Smart to go in when you did. 

We had two Sheep last Friday in 70 fow off of Holland, I don't recall catching this many this far away from the piers?!

[FBD]

One here and there but it seems every body is getting a few.  After thay diver went three times I said I had another version of that spoon and could put it on the other diver, crew declined.

Thinking about going in the morning. Any tips? Will report when we get back.

I'll be trying in the am too.  I'll be putting down smaller spoons and a few lake trout rigs.  Gonna try 50-80 fow to start.  I should be on the radio:  68 - King Possible

[Copilottruman]

See you out there. I was gonna try shallow as well. I'll be on 68 - not sure if it's a good boat name but we call ourselves the "struggle bus" haha

I might try in the skinny water now.  10-20 fow.  Looks like the lake flipped good.

[Copilottruman]

Just saw that as well. I might power down to saugy and hit the pier.
