[WRENCHED 4 IT]

Shake down trip this afternoon to calibrate new Raymarine EV 150 autopilot. Found out I mounted the compass sensor to close to the hydraulic pump and it wouldn’t program

While at the boat ramp had talked to a few guys coming in saying they didn’t catch anything however there buddies in Saugatuck had limited out. Even though seas were flat I decided just to run down to Holland to fish. Set the first line at 1:30 1/4 mile of North pier and trolled 1/2 past South pier running in and out of 25fow to 40fow with mid 30s being best. Went south and north with south troll brining fish. Went 3 for 4 with 2 coho that I released because of size kept one around 5lbs pulled lines at 3:00.

Used three rods with all three hitting 2- slide divers set at 3 running 60 ft line back one set at 12-15ft down and other at 20 ft down, third line 3 color running down the shoot. See picks of lures that worked below.

You'll love that autopilot once its up and running. Makes fishing so much easier.
