Holland 5/15 AM.

[jdh]

Fished today in deep water after hearing about good fish offshore.  Started in 180 fow around 6 AM and worked in and out to 205 fow with only 1 coho bite to show for it by 9 am.  At 9 we pulled lines and ran to 275 fow where there was a surface temp break of about 2 degrees colder.  Started picking away at coho and one steelhead there on North and South trolls.  We were 6/8 by noon.  At that point we pulled lines again and reset in 245-250 and put in a midday "king" spread and shortly after were rewarded with some bites.  Pulled lines around 3 pm and ended up 12/15.

Overall, our best speeds were 2.7 to 3.2 at the ball.
