Holland 5/13-5/21

Fish has been exceptionally good the past few weeks. Probably some of the best spring fishing we have seen in years. There has been a mix of coho and kings being caught everywhere from the pier heads out to 200 foot. Our typical troll has been set in 90 FOW and ride a south west to 190 FOW. The larger mix of kings seemed to be in 110-150 while smaller kings and coho were outside of that. Sunday morning, we opted to fish the piers as there was a storm coming and we weren't sure what the storm was going to do. Going 3/4 our first pass, we ended up staying in there the whole day taking 25 fish. I do think that the pier head fishing is done or at its near end as the water continues to warm. Fish were still being caught in the GH piers as of this morning though and the pier head fishery will stay longer in a larger river than it will down here. I will list our set ups below. 

Pier head set up:

Flatlines: Bay Rat short shallows with coho crusher and red hot

1 colors: Silver streak mini mixed veggie and mini gold jager bomb

2 colors: Silver streak regular sized orange crush and jager bomb

3 colors: Silver streak silver orange chilly willy and gold orange chilly willy
