Holland and beyond 4/21 AM

[Dr Hook]

Sorry for the late post, but had too much going on after fishing yesterday.

First trip of the year began with the top of a picnic table passing us by in the channel on the way out.  Blew through the skin ice on the way south just before the Saugatuck channel.  Set up in 25 fow just north of the point and began trolling south.  Began out first trip of the year with a double on coho just south of the point which is where we had our best marks.  Trolled 2.9 to 3.6 SOG with best speed 3.2-3.3.  Trolled south til we could the the steam from the power plant on shore then came back north.  Trolled out to 50 fow on the turn and picked up a laker , except for that we pretty much kept between 25 and 30 fow as marks would drop off beyond 30.

Finished the day 6 for 9 with 3 coho, 2 lakers and a skinny king.  We had one hit on a rigger which came off, but the rest came on 2 color, 25' copper and braid 0 dipseys set back 75'.  Only hits came on orange jointed rapala, orange and black thin fish, and dark orange dark blue spoons.
