also the water is stained a little thats why the gold worked i think.

temp was 48 deg. and thanks to sea-mac for the escort in last night(my bow light was blown out) also wtg on the fish Mike.

WOW:eek: what a night of fishing ,we went out of holland ,left at 4:30 went to 50 fow then trolled out to 109 with no luck turned back in and after 2 1/2 hrs of nothin hit fish in 75 fow turned it south and and sterted catching fish ended the night with 7 for10 6 kings and 1 coho with 2 kings around 13 lbs.things that worked...chrome and geen dodger with a gold flie,white and green paddle with a mirage flie ,jp slammer spoons ( gold ptoto types)and NBK slammer all down around 55 foot.

Wow I had enough rain tonight! I fished out of holland from 3:30 til 8:00 going 2 for 5 ,I was by my self and had a tuff time fighting fish and driving at the same time.I got a 6lb king in 85 fow 55 down on rigger with an NBK slammer, the other 4 came in 60 fow 45 and 50 down on riggers,lost a nice teen,s king at the net on a mt. dew paddle with a purple mirage flie ,a nice steelie on a cut throat slammer,and a small fish on NBK slammer,and caught an 8 lb laker on NBK it was wet but i had fun.

I live by Vanwieren hardware ,south on division. I do sit in the boat and listen on days when i am wishin i was fishin!

good job guys!

I have run pursiut plastic holders for boards and tried for dipseys but found out they will break(almost lost a rod) now i run berts ratcheting,and greatlakes holders for the dipseys and 3 on a tree for the boards.I will never go back to the plastics they just arent strong enough.Just my 2 cents. jimmy

John ,Thanks for the comback on the radio i was in my driveway last night,And had just done some electrical work on the boat.Sounds like it was tuff out there,I hope to get out this weekend but wont be until either Sat. eve or Sun. eve. jimmy

wtg scott , Thanks for the detailed report ,I was going to go tomarow but may have to wait til the eve or Sunday Eve.

Brian, welcome to the site ,there is lots of info on here thats for sure! What port do you fish out of ? I fish out of holland but towards port sheldon most of the time. Jimbobber

oops i ment 150 copper......in my post.

nice job Mark its tuff out there rite now.We fished just south of port sheldon last night and got 4 but we went from 140 to 210 fow then came back to 100 to 110 and got our fish.

left the dock at 5:00 pm blew out to 140 set up and trolled to 210 marked three fish didnt have a hit ,pulled lines and ran into 100 fow on a tip from ice box and hit a steelhead on glow fire dog on 45 copper then a small king on the same glow fire dog,then a king on a white paddle with pickle sunshine flie down 100 on a rigger finished the night with a shaker on the glow fire dog again.ended up 4 for 4 on the night:D.The fish have definetly moved We did not mark more than six fish all night.

I have fished on a cauple of boston walers and both ran the waves nice but they have very limited seating and in windy cold weather you cannot stay dry so it can be uncomfortable but they did both fish well and had plenty of room in the back.

wtg guys i didnt get on the water all weekend but hope to get out this week some time. glad to hear you got your boat fixed. jimbobber

im goimg to try 2 things this year im going to try off shore 250-300 fow and im goimg to try for some lakers.I will let you guys know how it works.

Hey Jim ,May is a good month huh!!! My B-day is the 29th Happy B-day man!!!!!!! jimmy

good job mike it was a tuff day out there.The fog was something!

This is agood reminder at how things can go bad even in a "big lake boat" That water is cold i dont care what time of year it is .I spent 40 minute in 42 deg water in 1998 when my boat sunk and i dont want to ever have that experience again!!!!!!

We fished out of Holland this morning in the steelheaders challenge started at 7 and stoped at 1.Started out last night dropping the trailer off the tounqe of my truck when leaving for gas and then this morning ran aground in the fog in lake mac spun the hub on the prop on the way back in:mad: but limped her in:thumb: we only caught 5 fish all day and finished 18 0ut of 41 boats:D but its still was better than workin thats for sure!!! only 2 boats had 12 fish today then it went to 10 and down from there.

Also A hot color for us has been a glow fire dog jp slammer it is like a bloody nose pattern only glow,moonshine has one to caled a dalmation glow i think. hope this helps jimmy

Paul,I fish holland a lot and would suggest you go south look for the big sand dunes and start in front of them they are called the sliders. I would probably start in 60 to 70 fow and troll out on a sw troll till you hit fish then troll south if he currents are rite for it.Are you going to be out all day and eve? I will be out in the eve. Call phil on the plum crazy he will point you to fish for sure! Good luck hope your trip goes well. Jimbobber

Sorry to hear about that i hope that was not recently ,cus if it was they would definitly be kicked out for treating a guest that way!!!!!!! Sorry agian Kevin jimmy

Nice shakedown always a nice bonus to catch fish on the first rip out.

awsome Nick !!!!!!!
