Holland 7-13

[Aaron Nusbaum]

We had lines in at about 5 and got blown off the lake around 8. We must've missed something based on recent reports because we started at 70 and couldn't buy a mark or a hit. We eventually migrated out to 95 ft with no luck then went back to 70. On the way back in we took a hit on a 5 color lead that shook off. Back at 70 we got stuck inside a line of boats so we spent some time in there and picked off an 8 lb king on a downrigger 55 down. After awhile we found a gap and went back out and took a 7 lb coho on a 200 copper and missed a hit on the same downrigger as soon as we got the coho in. Shortly after that the wall wind hit. Maybe we jumped the gun but we didn't like how fast it went from glass to white caps, and our 18 foot open bow doesn't handle waves well so we bailed. It definitely felt like a whiffed outing considering the fact we were off the lake at 8 with only two fish. Here's what took the hits:

 

1 - salmon candy UV fruit pebbles standard spoon on 5 color lead

 

1 - moonshine lucky flounder standard spoon on 200 copper

 

2 - warrior psycho perch standard spoon on a downrigger 55 down

The blow did come up quickly and was not forecasted.  Glad you made it in safely.

Always best to be safe. You caught a couple and the dinner will be great. The fishing is only going to get better from now to late September.  Keep after it.

Nice report, ty! I think you made the right call bailing when the winds came up, live to fish another day!

Tight lines…
