Holland 7/15 PM

[2MD]

5 for 12

92fow was all of our action

SE and SW troll is what they'd bite with surface speed or around 2.4mph

high dipsey out 220 with meat went numerous times

low dipseys out 105 and also 112 with meat were hopping

spoon on rigger down 65 but actually this was the steelhead that came on slider so 55down

copp350 with meat went three times as well on starboard side

almost every other boat was 110-140fow and curious if that was better? we had not a single bite after 9pm which was a little anticlimactic -- we figured it was because PUG stayed back?

Went 6/9 from about 8 pm to 10 pm.  110-135 fow.  Rigger with flasher fly at 85 took 3 hits.  Mag dipsy at 160 with flasher fly took 2 hits.  Downrigger at 35 took 2 hits with moonshine standard double trouble.  Mag dipsey at 160 with meat took 1 hit. 250 copper with orange moonshine took 1 hit.  3 kings 15-17 lbs, 3 kings 7-9 lbs.

You run a lot of meat 2MD.  I have a couple of meat rigs and rarely run them because I can't seem to catch fish on them. I guess I just don't have any confidence in them.

Pug can't stay home!!

2MD and Lef T, nice catching.  There was a solid sunset last night so I am surprised the bite fell off early in the skinny water.  Appreciate all the shared data.  Meat, spoons, flies and plugs are all seeing action.  Posts on Facebook from north of PS/Holland report King action finally starting to pick up there.  And last Sunday's Reel-to-Reel YouTube fishing report noted 5 king catches on the charters.  I try to keep up on the reports across the east side of the lake if it might provide a heads up of the fish moving in any direction.  In our area, the fishery has really taken off from a month ago.  Got to get out there more myself.

Definition of an expert fisherman(2MD):  12 hits in a couple of hours and he wonders if the fishing was better in deeper water. Love it.

Yeah but I usually head in as it gets darker so I’d be asking the same question too…

Jon - that is the best line of the year on this site.  Us solo guys are happy to get 5 bites !
