Holland 7/9 PM

[2MD]

tricky currents and the bite slowed at least down by Holland 

pug fished mainly off Geneva again 

5for9 was the final count I think

pug aspired for better but it was good enough and a beautiful night out there

first 4 bites come in that 83-87fow zig zagging and switching between east and west troll - copp200 went and also rigger down 60 - later dipsey meat went but came off - copp300 went a few times with rachet jaw spoon too

after sunset got one on rigger slider again and maybe one on dipsey pug cant remember - lost 2 huge ones that were just screaming... the first was high dipsey out 155 in 65fow mag moonshine flounder pounder original and the second was a copp150 silver horde green glow jplug again in 65fow

captain Rilee from GH gave us a helpful tip right coming into sunset and that was to troll north at 3.1 to get them to eat and indeed that worked better

Thanks for the report! 

What makes the lake create those strong currents? I've been out a few times when there was a strong current, and it was tough. Is there a way to predict when this will happen?

great sunset pic !  Thanks for the report.

Currents should be opposite surface wind.  Wind pushes surface water one way, deeper water has to move the opposite way to balance things out.  Usually.

 

Also it takes a while to get them started and then a while to get them stopped so it may be dead calm and you’ll have a current yet from two days ago. Or you get another big wind and an old current and you can get a mess.  Having to troll head long into 4’ waves at 4mph with a huge trailing current in a tournament once was not fun, but the opposite troll would have been trying to go essentially zero mph while getting pushed by 4’ waves…
