Holland 10-3-25 Evening

[Jolly Time]

What could be better than finishing a week of work, calm seas, a buddy that wants to go out fishing and catching some nice fish. I submit...not much!

We went 4 for 6. As last week, fish turned on the last half hour before sunset and for an hour after. Fished 120fow and worked our way in. Sweet spot was 105-98fow. A little different bite this week. We didn't  take a fish on our dipseys. All bites came on coppers and rigger. Water temp still pretty warm. 51-54 degree water was 70-75'ish feet down. 

350 copper Megatron flasher with white/blue fly/green beads took nice steelhead early

Bad Toad mag RV spoon on rigger free slide with bottom spoon down 74'.

300 copper Bad Toad mag RV took king

325 copper Dancing  Anchovy mag took a couple of bites and one king landed. 

We trolled from straight out hung a right and went north towards Port Sheldon. Just a nice night out there. There were only three other boats and they were much deeper.

Thanks. It is crazy nice out there. I haven't  experienced  Lake Michigan  like this in October. Wild!

Great catch.That magical hour of sunset always gets some good eaters. Your low and high beams must really be working well. I guess the fish can't drive during the day?

Keep on not quitting for the year!

I kI know. know. I just can't  put it away. The weather has not given up to fall. I used to hunt by this point in the year but that doesn't  work at all in 80 degree weather. 

Every time I have been out these two weeks I have said that this is it. And then the weather decides to be fabulous  and 1 footers.
