Holland 7/3 pm Solo 2-2 Fished 7-9 pm in 95-145 FOW with no hits. Then things changed. 9:00 pm: 27 lb king, rigger down 78 ft, 90 FOW, Rasta goose std, was quite a fight and fun netting it solo. 9:20 ish: after getting the big one netted I realized it had tangled with my diver. Before I could get the tangle cleared a 9 lb king hit the diver. What fun. Wrapped the diver line around a pole holder and got the tangle fixed before the fish got off the diver line. 9 lb king, diver back 225 on 3 setting, meat rig. Called it a night. 2 hour boat ride and 30 minutes of chaos. Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman

That is very helpful. Thanks so much. My knowledge is pretty limited so I appreciate you sharing this! Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman

Just curious, other than targeting higher in the water column what do you run for Steelhead? Super slims? Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman

Good thinking with the steelhead program. It was a challenge this morning Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman

Lines in 5:30 am. Fished 100-150 FOW. 6:00 am, 9 lb king, rigger down 80 in 100 FOW, Mag MS Green Jeans. No other hits. Beautiful morning but slow fishing. Tried meat rigs, flasher flies, standard spoons, Mag spoons, glow, no glow. Various colors. Just couldn’t get anything else going. Pulled lines at 9 am.

That’s some good fishing. Thanks for sharing. Looks like the meat rigs are starting to hit. Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman

One landed is better than none! Sorry for the late report. I went out of Holland with a friend from Texas yesterday morning (6/16 am). Fished from 5:30 - 9 am. Similar results. 2-3. Ran all glow spoons early, switched out one to SD and meat rig later in the morning. Did several c spoon color changes. Ran 10 color, 300 weighted steel, 2 high divers and one rigger. 300 weighted had all the bites. Fished 65-150 fow. All bites in 70 fow range. 1. 7:00 am, smaller fish , lost it half way to the boat, 300 weighted steel, mag ms flounder pounder 2. 7:20 am, same 300 setup, landed and released small lake trout. 3. 7:40 am: 10 lb king, same 300 WS with the same flounder pounder. Stopped at the DNR station later in the day to grind the guts. Talked to three boats. No one had more than three fish. Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman

Thanks for the report. Just got my boat fixed. May try this evening. Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman

I like that solo strategy as well. I don’t catch much on my sliders but you make a good point about drawing in the fish! Always learning something from you guys. Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman

Best report out of Holland in quite a bit. Nice job! Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman

Glad you got the shakedown completed Fin Warrior. Jim and Karen have been good friends for years. Our kids all swam competitively together for many years! Get that boat out fishing. I need some good reports! Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman

Good work ,Ed. I didn’t do so well. My main engine serpentine belt broke as I left the harbor. Had to navigate back to my dock with the kicker motor, steering with autopilot only. Took me 6 attempts to get the boat back on the lift. Was kind of an adventure.

Nice work! Great to see the next generation enjoying fishing and success! Sent from my iPhone using Great Lakes Fisherman
