BenLubbs Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Went out of Holland this morning with my Dad, two of my younger brothers, one of my sisters, and Javier from work (here from our plant in Mexico). Got on the water about 6:00am. Set lines in 60 FOW (inside most of the other boats out there) south west of the peirs. Kept a line course headed south west. First hit came on a green flounder 45 down on a rigger over 80 ft. Gave the pole to Javier and he reeled in his first ever fish, a 6ish lb King. Next, we got a hit on the 5 color with a Dbl. Orange Crush. I gave the pole to my brother but he was having trouble with the board diving so I took it back. While I was working on that one, we got another hit on the rigger with the Green Flounder. My brother grabbed that pole and started reeling. All of a sudden a nice king jumped out of the propwash 10ft behind the boat. by the time my brother caught up with the fish, it was already gone, but I bet that thing jumped 7 or 8 times after it was of still trying to get away I finally got the fish on the lead core to the boat to find a 4 lb steelie hooked in the tail (it felt big at least ) As I was going to put it in the cooler it gave a flop, right out of my hands, off the lid of the cooler, back into the lake. He was floating in the prop wash for a bit before taking off to the bottom of the lake. After that, we had pretty consistent action until about 9:30 when things shut off. Ended up going 7/9 with the last 6 coming in a line going east to west from 110 FOW to 140 FOW south of the peirs. Box had 1 steelie (2 if you count the one that got out ) 1 laker, and 5 kings.
