Holland 6-25-24

[Jolly Time]

Another great evening out on the water in Holland. Made it out and set lines at about 6:45pm. I thought I would be smart after the two days of north blow and pushed offshore. I am not too smart! Started in 140fow. On northwest troll. And had a few marks and they went away after 170fow. I didn't mark much bait either. Argh. About face and worked our way back in. At 135fow we had our first fish and it stayed pretty consistent from there. We ended up in 130-145fow the rest of the night.

20lb king 135fow 8pm white flow SD with green fish scale and pickled sunshine meet rig on 325 copper

18lb king 142fow 8:30pm 300 copper w/ Megatron flasher and krw HD green/blue fly

8lb coho 175 copper w/wonderbread white SD with wonderbread fly 8:45pm.

14lb king 139fow 72 feet down on rigger. 10" white slick SD with pickled sunshine meat rig. 9:15pmish.

Then the sunset and or screen was littered with bait and hooks. Bam, bam, bam we had a triple. 225copper w/glow crush SD with pickled sunshine fly, inside mag starboard dipsey at 135ft w/green knight proking flasher and white fly, and port side high diver 230ft with 8" white slick SD and KRW green glow fly all went at same time. It was a crazy half hour heading straight south on troll. We land 2 of 3. 13lb king on 225 and 17lb king on high diver. 

We ended the evening 6-9. We had 3 other hit and misses but 9 good hook ups. This fish are there. I haven't seen fishing like this for a while. We tried spoons earlier in the evening and had a few out at the end all glow. Not a spoon hit all evening.

Great king fishing.  The madness of a triple is pure adrenalin.
