18for32 off Holland evening of 7/7

[2MD]

PUG set lines at around 7pm out off Geneva in 90fow

most boats were fishing deeper 

pretty much caught fish all night in that 75-102fow range with 88fow being the very best

direction of troll didn't seem to matter much tonight but PUG had us running mainly north and south

added a handful more after dark with the last one we netted being at 10.34pm

PUG desired a 4 man limit and nearly got it but time was up!

Bummer PUG lost so many. Kid you not... one of our high diver meat rig rods literally had 8 fish come off (need to revisit the type of hook on that one)

Parker ran pretty much what she always does - spoons and boards didn't work good at all until about sunset. The first 10 salmon mainly came on either meat rigs on dipseys or spindocter fly. We also got a decent one on jplug on rigger. As night set in though then the boards like copp150, copp300, and copp350 started barking nonstop with spoons (pretty much all moonshine mag variations). 

Tonight there was fish down super deep eating and then also a batch up top pigging out.  One time out of tunnel coming into sunset we passed a bait ball of alewife on the surface and right there next to the boat a 10-12 pound king skied out in the air gorging on them.  Anyways, the point is that the middle like range like 45-65 down did not produce for PUG for whatever reason.

You sure did slay them last night.  Pug must be exhausted.  Very aggressive bite with SD/flies & meat on dipseys getting hammered from the get go.  Thanks for the report!

Night bite is the best! What was the weight of the biggest fish you caught?

Did the bugs take the night off?

thanks guys

flies weren't bad thankfully 

we didn't weigh any but had many matures 

two of them were probably 18 knocking on 20 and most in that 13 to 15

pug would've loved to have met the one on the deep diver that ran out 480 and went through both the copp300 and copp250 and came off

I found some good action in that 90-100fow range last night as well, picked up 3 kings in the 15-18lb range straight out to just south of Holland. Great temp break and some nice bait balls cruising around there yesterday. Low divers & 300cu with meat rigs did most of the work.

Filing up the freezer 2MD!  What a fun outing.

Way to dial them in!  Of course I had most of my lines in the 45-65.  And they didn't produce.  The few lines above and below that got our fish.  Wish I had gotten a third person last night to run those extra lines!

Awesome night!
