Port Sheldon 7/13 am - 4 for 6

[smokedfish35]

Cleared pier heads around 5:30, lines set about 5:45 just south towards Holland. Read a report about a bite in shallow early, and it was spot on. I slowed at 50 fow and started marking fish and bait, while everyone else was out 90+. 5 bites in the first 1:30 of sunrise, landing 3. Have never seen so many boats trolling in one spot and surprised this is the first report being posted from 7/13. Took a buddy out fishing who’s never fished the big lake/salmon before, and had a blast.

 

In addition to decent fishing - sent my fish hawk probe down with a loose cap, and snapped a rod tree on the garage door coming home. If anyone knows good welders in the Hudsonville area please let me know.
