    Holland 5/31 AM

    Set up just south of Port Sheldon just to try something new looking for bigger fish.  Worked 70-140 fow in a zig zag pattern.  Nice 1 foot chop to start built to 2-3's by mid morning so we called it quits.

    Wound up 6 for 6 which isn't bad but they were all shaker kings and all were thrown back.  Troll was NE and NW mainly 2.5 - 2.8 at the ball.  Again ran 4 riggers staggered from 70 down up to 50 down, 150 - 180 - 225 coppers.  Dipseys started 75 and 90 back and finished at 125 and 150 back didn't take any hits.

    I noticed all the shakers last week , I kicked the speed up a a little to the 2.8-3.1 at the ball and got away from them and got a lot more aggressive strike from the mature fish as well , just a thought.

    Sorry for the late update on last Saturday's scores and season totals but here they are. 

    I would also like to congratulate team Wreckless on winning big fish for the day , he fished the smallest boat we have ever had in the league , and did it completely solo, great job sir!

    Holland 5-27 & 5-28

    Had a pretty good weekend of fishing , fished the WMFL Saturday. We set up in 90' and went on a SW troll out to 140, with a steady pick most of the morning till about 10am when we fell in a dead slump, decide to head out a little more and found  a pocket of nice kings in 160 , we finished the morning 10 for 14 with 6 kings and 4 coho ranging from 2-13lbs. And landing us in 3rd place for the day.

    Sunday I left the dock and headed to the same general area around 6 am with the same similar results ,but smaller in size, we fished from tunnel park to castle park in 120-140 and finished the morning around 11:30 and going 12-16 with with 7 kings and 5 coho from 3-8lbs. 

    I ran the same spread all weekend and this is what took fish

    Glow Back Green Dolphin silver streak on a rigger down 75

    Silver Streak Sponge Bob as a slide set at 65, this was by far the best!

    Silver Streak Yellow gator as a slider set at 55

    Lemon Berry on a 250 copper

    Miami Dolphin on a 300 copper 

    Mixed Veggies spin Dr with a yellow brad marage on a high diver back 160 

    Chrome Frog Spin Dr and pickled sunshine fly on a high diver back 20O 

    Direction did not seem to mater but speed did, the most productive speed was 2.9-3.2 on the fish Hawk .

    Holland 5-21

    Fishing is about as good as it gets rite now , I left the dock at 6am with my great friend Don and his girlfriend, only to get to the end of the channel to see lighting to the south,,,, but also seen massive schools of alwive jumping.

    We decided to set up at the end of the channel with a couple rods and wait and see what happens , shortly after setting 2 riggers and 2 divers we hooked a triple and got them all. After that we decide to just fish there till they stopped biting and then run out to deep water and see about filling the limet,, well, they continued to feed and we finished the Morning at 10:40 with a nice box of 8 kings and 7 coho.

    Here is a list of what worked.

    1: Mixed veggies spin dr on a slide diver back 30 and out 30.

    2: mixed veggies Silver Streak regular on a 2 color 

    3: moonshine Brook Trout mag on a slide diver out 35.

    4: Blue Dolphin Silver Streak reg on a rigger down 12 and back 30

    5: and the new Silver Streak Yellow Gator on a 3 color

    All of our bites came between 16 and 30 feet of water and the speed was 3.0 on the fish Hawk.

    Sorry for not haveing a pic of the baits but I did t have any copy paper at the boat, but here is one of the catch.
