South of Holland 8-8-24 Morning

[Jolly Time]

What a morning! Went out of Holland and south towards Saugatuck. We started about half between both channels in 60fow. Will incluse screen in pictures. Fish everywhere.

Ended up 10-14 fished until 8:30am. That work thing....

5:45 rigger down 45ft. Raspberry carbon huge rip and good fight but popped off.

6ish other rigger down 60 in 90fow green splatter back plug. 12lb king

Moved out to 125fow and hit the mother load. Everything started firing. A little crazy with just my daughter and I.

10" Green dot uv SD w/green fly on inside dipsey king out 120 

Ouside dipsey fired 3 times out 210 with dragon slayer green fly 20lb king

300, 325 both could not keep in the water. Both had plugs. White ladderback glow and yellow/green splatterback.

Switchout out rigger with Raspberry Carbon to stacked green jeans and slide half jeans. It took hits down 65

Otherside of boat high and low divers got nailed high had white slick SD green fly and low had old school green ladderback jplug. 

We broke off three fish at fly. So weird. All were big fish too. We saw at the surface when they broke off.

Last fish was our biggest. 22lb king on 325 copper w/chrome green lightning plug. I put out there just to see what would happen. Glad I did.

Troll direction and current was pretty easy to figure out today. South East and north west trolls worked the best for us. We were at nine fish and decided that was enough. 300 went with a big Laker that the gill got torn. Smoker time.

Too bad the lake looks rough for the weekend. Fishing is out of sight right now. At fish cleaning station I talked to numerous people that fished north of Port Sheldon, out infront of Port Sheldon, Holland and Saugatuck. Everybody was catching lots of nice fish. Flasher flies, plugs, meat. Not a lot of spoon bites but the ones that did were running standards from what I gathered.

Ran plugs, spoons, and flashers last night.  7 hits, 6 on spoons, 4 of them mags.  I don't think it matters right now just run what you have confidence in.

I agree. There are a lot of fish out there. Like always... some days they want spoons or flasher fly or meat... run what you have until you figure out what their taste buds want.
