Holland 7/6 - 7/8

[Treblemaker]

Fished Friday 7am to 11 am, set up in front of Holland in 30 fow and whacked a nice brown around 7lbs on a 3 color on a coyote. Then we picked up and motored south to 70 fow and fished out to 120. We got 3 nice skamania to 14 lbs, a coho, a laker and some real fat kings to 16 lbs. 3-12 color was all good with greens and yellows. Riggers 30-50 down, divers 80 back cold water 40' down and bait and hooks all over. We left with 11 fish.

Set up Saturday 7am in a little shallower and found good water but no fish. Moved back out to our waypoints and the fish and bait were gone, but we picked up a few on the same program. We moved in again and found a few fish and some bait and got a couple kings on 10 color carmel dolphin. We moved again a little north of the stacks in 50-70 fow and picked up a few more before we quit. Rigger 40 down lemon ice, green spinny green fly 80 back, and a watermelon on the 6 color took those fish. We ended up with 7, again 3 nice steelies 8 to 13 lbs, fat kings 6 to 16 lbs.

Sunday it really blew so we motored south, upwind 30 minutes and trolled into the waves 70-140 fow at 7am. Took a couple nice kings early on the 11 and 13 color green spoons, then trolled back towards Holland. Took a couple more on the rigger 60 down lemon ice, and a full core with a green spoon. Fish were scattered and water was a lot warmer down towards Saugatuck.

Nice job Tim! Hopefully the fishing holds up until I can get out this weekend.
