Saugatuck 9-19pm

[FBD]

4/5 tonight in Saugatuck.  Set up in 65’ noting lots of marks on the bottom in 50.  We’ll get to those later.  Got out to 100’ started to swing back around and in and the seven color gets smoked.  Wife lands a nice steel.  While fighting that mag flounder pounder 180 out on a slide diver gets hit lightly and trips but not hooked up.

In 75 mag blue dolphin on a full core takes a little king that my daughter put back.

At about 60’ the wind came up from the east by 50’ it was all of 20 mph and boat control was hellish.  Those marks were gone.  Checked in with 2md and he was like don’t pull them keep working in so we did and at about 42’ the graph lit up.  Pulled the 7 color, then the five color.  Was pulling the wire when a mag bloody nose down 24 hooks up.  Get a small mature king.  Pulling the rest of the lines pick the slide diver up and it gets ripped in my hands.  Last line down so we turn with them and my wife somehow corrals this thing behind the boat.

Really think we could have wailed on them but the conditions were not favorable.  We left the last king in the net until we could beach the boat in the cove behind the channel.
