Holland 06-07 Evening Solo 1 for 2

[zgrinder on Fin Warrior]

Decided with Janet out of town for the evening, to jump on the favorable weather and fish!  Set down in 100 FOW half way to Saugy and got a tip up and short fight right away.  Thinking we got some action here tonight but that was not the case.  With the north wind bump later afternoon, decided to put out 2 riggers with spoons and 10 color LC.  Was thinking all long lines when I left the harbor but backed away from that once I got a grip on the rollers from the north.  Marked a lot of fish between 45-85 down in 104FOW on a south troll but nothing would bite.  Tried to move the big hooks off the bottom to no avail.  Caught my lone king in 92 FOW at dusk and let it go.  That was a bit of a surprise cause I marked noting inside of 100FOW.  Ran all spoons and one lip-less crank bait on the LC.  Greens/whites/purples/spots/BN on the spoon colors, not that it mattered.  I had the SWR and long lead riggers all over the water column and nothing would bite.  Black flies seemed to find their way on the boat during the north troll - so happy to clean that up.  It was a nice evening for a float but man, where are the fish?

I'm surprised the night bite didn't produce better. It looks like a long fishing season until something changes. Good luck to all of us, we'll need it.

It’s been tough so far. The hook ups seemed to be light when they come too. I don’t remember June being stellar last year either. Let’s hope July is better!

It’s June.  A few weeks of suck until things set up for the summer.

 

If you’re bored we had an absolute riot working the piers for sheep between the salmon boats, few that there were, heading out and the hangover crowd showing up.  Could only run four lines don’t think we went ten minutes without a fish and a couple times had no lines in the water…
