Holland 5-24 am

[jdh]

Had another good morning on the water.  Lines in shortly after 6 am and fished until 11:30 am.  Went 9 for 14 with 6 nice kings in the box, biggest at 22 lbs.  Released 2 lakers and kept 1.  Lost too many fish again, but that's how it goes sometimes.

Started the morning in 100 fow a bit north of the piers and worked out WNW / WSW trolls.  Got a fish and some good hits early in 120-140 fow, and then nothing until we turned around in 190 fow.  Trolled back in to 145 and things started popping.  Spent the rest of the morning in 130-145 fow.

Best troll speed was 2.8-3.0 at the ball, with a north troll, but south troll also got bit.

 

What worked:

0-1 Rigger down 45 feet, mag double glo sided spoon

2-2 300 Copper, Silver Streak Mag Blue Dolphin

0-1 Size 3 Dipsy back 120, white spin doctor and proctologist fly

2-4 Size 3 Dipsy back 170-185, white spin doctor and proctologist fly
