Reel-y-hooked

Very interesting. You have done your research. Thank you for that info. So what river will an adult coho run that is spending time in the holland/port Sheldon area ? I was under the impression that most coho migrate to the Platte River.

After a better look at that 4 yr old fish it was a coho.

Thank you jolly time for yesterday’s report. We worked your intel into our spread. Set lines in 90 fow and trolled out to 150 fow and then back in to 90 fow being chased by rain on the radar. Starboard high diver back 200’ went 2 times. Port high diver back 140’ went 2 times. Port low diver back 130’ went once. Starboard down rigger at 90’ went once and that fish escaped. Port down rigger at 100’ went 2 times. Once on the slider and once on main line. Pulled lines at 9:00 so we wouldn’t get wet. Boated 4 steelhead and 3 kings. 1 king was a dark 4 yr old female. all spoons this morning. Mongolian beef, A-bomb, dancing anchovy, glow frog and green jeans. All spoons were SS and standard size. Boats at the launch had success with mag spoons too. Fish were hungry and swallowed the hooks this morning.

Nice work on keeping those steely’s hooked up ! Great pic of 4 steely’s. That’s a tough pic to get most days. Thank you for the detailed report.

Thanks for info.

Nice work ! Any depth of water in particular or best presentations ? Slim spoons have been pretty good down here in the holland region.

And no moon light

Nice work and thanks for the detailed info. My daughter and I went straight out of port Sheldon and had lines set at 6:30 pm. We stopped and fished 125 fow. Marked tons of bait and had several good hooks around the bait at 40’ down and all the way to the bottom. Had two steelhead porpoise in front of the boat. port down rigger went once at 90 down with a ss glow frog and starboard rigger went once down 80 with a std Mongolian beef. Port low diver back 165 went once with a ss glow frog. 2 escaped and we landed 1. Pulled lines at 8:00 (school night) What a beautiful night ! water was flat and sunset was fantastic.

It is nice to have a little realtime intel to start out with. Our fish were full of small baitfish too. Thanks for the report.

Ran straight out to 150’ and trolled south. Had 3 bites on the south troll. Turned around and had 3 more bites on the north troll. Turned NE towards the pier and had 2 more bites. One in 100’ and last one in 90’. We boated 6 of the 8 bite’s and released one small king. We had a nice steelhead and a lake trout in the mix. much thanks to jolly time for the detailed report about small bait. We ran super slims and a couple standard size spoons. our best king (10lbs) bit a super slim 1/2 green jeans on a 12’ leader behind an 8” white slick spin doc. It was 100’ down on starboard rigger. Other bites were on both high divers back 260’ and 280’. Port rigger down 125’ and the free slider. 300 copper. Low diver back 180’ went twice. Spoons were ss green jeans, ss 1/2 green jeans, ss A-bomb, ss rosta goose, ss glow frog, and Mongolian beef. Lake was calm and no boat traffic and a spectacular sun set.

Thanks for the updated report after cleaning your fish. Great info.

Set a 6 rod spread at 6:30 pm. Marked fish on the bottom in 90 fow About 4 miles north of the pier. only needed 1 rod. Our 300 copper went 3 for 3 on a south troll in 90 fow. All were 6 to 7 lb kings. Ran one of my dad’s old spoons. (White with a green ladder back) I thinks it’s a doctored up pirate spoon. It’s been a good late season spoon for several years. Had a boat pass us running up on full plane about 200 yards inside the pier head after dark on our way in. That’ll get your attention in a hurry. Other than that idiot it was a beautiful evening out on the big lake.

Wow very nice ! A 40” pike is pretty special ! Your youngest got a trophy.

Nice ! Did you get a length on that northern? And yes you are fortunate to still have that plug. Normally that would be gone. That was a great evening of fishing.

Dandy coho !

Hey you avoided the skunk and it looked like a beautiful evening to be out fishing. Thanks for the report
