    Holland 8-19PM

    in Michigan Waters Fishing Reports - Salmon and Trout

    Posted

    Fished 6-9:30pm Started in 130fow NW out of Holland. There was a wicked current and had some trouble setting lines with major tangles with the wire diver. After everything got set we constantly had hits 120 down on the modified blue dolphin. We ended up going between 140-160fow and took 4 fish off 120 down and when the sun set we took 3 more off moonshine flounder 66 down. We had severval knock offs and tangles and a few ripps on the divers but the downriggers stole the show last night. We ended up 7 for 14-20(lost count). Everyone on the boat launch had similar success in close so it sounds like you can pick a spot, drop some lines and have a blast!

    I am with GLF get good namebrand standard PFD's.

    What type of boat do you own? Many times it takes 2 adults to handle launching or docking a boat especially in windy conditions. I would also reccomend taking some boater saftey classes. These classes can teach you all you need to know for safe boating and equipment. I believe most classes are free and can give you all the information you'll need to feel safe boating. I am not sure who offers classes around your area, but if you look up the Coast Guard or the United States Power Squadron(www.usps.org) you can find a class near you.

    I use the 50# power pro. But I know guys using 20#. Another thing to check is your rod guides. If your rod guides are cheap plastic that pp will saw right through it and get burrs. And if you dont take your dipseys off when you travel it can fray the line on a bad tip. Just something to check.... The last thing you want is to donate a diver flasher rig on every trip out.

    Suggestions:

    - Make them wear a life jaket

    - Don't go boating in rough water

    - Stick to inland lakes untill you feel they won't fall out of the boat

    If they fall in and I don't realize it, I would never be able to find them. Any suggestions?

    - Don't drink and boat

    WMFL Makeup August Event.

    I will be at the makeup event. I would very much support the saturday tournaments with the sunday blow date. This would free up a few weekends during the summer that otherwise I would need to somewhat reserve. Also for the people that are comming from way out of town this would give them a better idea if they are going to invest in a trip for the weekend or wait untill mid-day saturday to decide to come or not.

    That's what this is all about, linking up and sharing info. Every little bit helps. I know we were only 1 of 2 boats in that depth range that I saw. I heard some people on the radio in sallow water not dowing so hot and marking nothing but our screen was full. I have to tell you all my new lowrance FF is the cats @$$. I saw over 30 fish come up to my cannon balls and I did my best to entice them and after a few lure changes found what they wanted. I forgot to mention in my original post that my trolling speed was slower than normal and we picked the fish off inside turns so they liked it slooow yesterday.

    My brother and I fished in 140-150fow Sunday morning went 6 for 7. We took fish off the riggers 92 down and 37 down. And half the fish came off full core with Stingray spoons worked best. Surprized I did not get even a bump on my diver spindoctors. We marked several fish up high and down low. surface temp was 74-75 degrees. Mainleyl NW worked .
