Holland 07/18 Evening - 8 for 14 Solo

[zgrinder on Fin Warrior]

Ran a solo run tonight, 2 mono dipseys and SWR on the DR.  Set up north of the harbor in 90 FOW trolling north at about 6:00pm.  There was a lot of boat traffic in 120-140FOW so I decided to stay inside of all that fish pressure.  Ventured out to perhaps 110 FOW marking fish but no bites.  Turned around to a south troll about an hour later.  Had to deploy my trolling valves to get down to 2.5mph at the ball as the speed was quick.  From that point on it was steady action.  Dipseys with Atomic Melon mag spoon and a Dragon Slayer SD and green UV Salmon Candy fly saw a lot of action.  My deep rigger SWR rod with a green dolphin foil mag spoon surprisingly boated a steelhead but that was it.  Later in the run, I put meat down with only a blue/sliver bait head and got three hits.  Ran all the way to Saugy on the south troll with steady action but no really big kings.  Largest was 12lbs.  After dusk glow program did not produce a vicious bite but I got one in the net that was released.  For a 3 rod spread, it was a lot of fun tonight and hope to find some bigger kings next time out

Good action and strategy. Nice king!

Solo fishing is quite challenging. I feel like a hunter with his pole(rifle) in a moving tree stand(boat), waiting to get the big king.

Nice action for 3 poles! Hope to get out soon after family events.

I was keeping an eye out last night for the Parker working the inside as the lake was beautiful last night and Pug knows how to find the bite.  Mid July and the fishing is great.

I think I under estimated the size of what I kept.  One of these weighed in at just over 12lbs.  The three kings look about the same and the SG is no slouch either.  Need to get a scale for the house.  All are naturals.
