Holland Wed. AM

[Killin' It]

Fished with my Father in law this morning for a quick trip. (3 hours)

With everyone fishing south of Holland, I figured I would take a run north and see what I could find....

Set up in 50 FOW around 7:45 and had my first fish by 8 am.

6-7 pound king on the bottom on a diver

Trolled around for another hour with nothing going other then the diver slammed and released... Stick??? Log??? body??? none the less no one home.

Once again I was pounding the bottom.

2nd fish came about an hour later. 50 down on a rigger in 60 FOW.

4 pound laker

Traveled almost all the way to PS and didnt mark JACK!!!

Take it for what it is worth... IT IS A WASTE LAND up that way..

All hits came on a N troll

All hits came in the bottom 10 feet

Cores didnt do jack.

Pulled lines at 10:30

Off to work

Thanks for the report Dave. It looked like a beautiful morning to be on the water. I hope to make it out tonight.

Thanks for the detailed report. I bet it was beautiful out there today.

I have had a few people ask what I have been getting my fish on... I call it luck, but I will post it anyway.

I have been doing well, running a 2-3 fish average for a 3 hour trip.

Brad's Cut plugs have been my bread and butter.

Running a six man spread I have been running 1-3 in the spead.

Starbord side

5 color Mag spoon

Diver flasher w brads cut plug

rigger gets a spoon or tin can w/ spin glow

Port side

Rigger Brads cut plug clean

Diver with a spoon

8 color Brads cut plug clean

If I am only running 1 cut plug it generally stays on the diver or the rigger.

If I am getting more hits from kings I will leave it on the flasher combo. If I am finding more lakers I will put it down on the bottom on the rigger.

If I am running a tin can spin glow on the opposite rigger the brads cut plug 50-100 feet back on the bottom has been my bread and butter.

Matching the cut plug to the spin glow color seems to be critical.

I am no expert, but this is what has been putting a few fish in my box.
