Holland Am, 7-7-26

Fished 6:30am-9:30, 80-120fow, finally got out. Alot of boats out. Lost an hour recalibrating my autopilot. Not alot of big fish marks, mostly little guys. Flat calm though. But the flys were ugly, biting badly.
 
Went 1 for 3, one fly by, one lost when it jumped the hook by my outdrive. The only fish I was able to get on board (Steelhead) came at 8:36am, on a watermelon std moonshine spoon, off a rigger slider. trolling N @3.0 mph, 53 dwn in 109fow. Small steelie 6#-1oz
Not much of a day.

 
I HATE those files!

I think I dodged the flies. I was off the water by 7:30.

The SH I caught the last outing was one of those prehistoric type plants where the meat had very little redness to the filet.  I miss the SH with the dark red meat.

I one I caught today had a very nice dark red color to the meat. So I know it will have a nice taste to it. But I understand what you are saying with the two different colors and textures.
