Hollander 8/13 am Solo

[SeaFoam]

Started in 100 fow at 6 am. Trolled out to 130 with no action for 2 hours.

 

Then I decided to follow Pug’s advice and switch out my glow spoons for SD white double slick with a green fly on my rigger. Almost immediately landed a 6 and 5 lb king back to back on my rigger down 100 ft.

 

Completely shutdown for me after that.

 

Gorgeous day on the lake.

PUG thanks you for the report

strange setup with all this warm water for sure -- or maybe it is normal for August and we've just been spoiled

If the wind holds, I'm heading out tonight for a short trip.  Planning on starting in 120 and fishing out on a WSW or WNW.    Going to start with the following spread from port to starboard:

350 Copper - Plug

Mag Diver back 230 - Meat Rig

Downrigger at 90 - Mag Glow Spoon

Downrigger at 115 - Big White Paddle / Fly

Mag Diver back 190 - Spin Doctor / Fly

400 Copper - Meat Rig (I like to punish the crew!)

Sounds like a good spread in theory!

If the 350 or 400 copper goes, does anybody jump up?  LOL

FYI, both of my fish this morning came on a north troll out by the sliders

I keep hearing about the sliders.  Are they south of Holland?

Options right now:

 

go out deep fish the higher temp break for mostly immature fish 

 

Grind where the cold water meets the bottom and hope to wake up those moody matures

Sliders are the big dunes south of Holland.  Always been that way not sure why

Would/could that also be called boat town by some that have been in the area many, many years?
