Holland 7/14 Evening - 1 for 4

[jdh]

Ran generally the same program as the other night.  Couldn't get the fish to bite.  Had them on Livescope swimming at/after baits, but they wouldn't hit.  Tried S/SE/SW/E/W/N/NW,NE trolling directions...  Speeds between 2 and 3 mph at the ball.

Eventually had a hit almost at 9 pm.  Then another at 9:30.  Another at 10 pm.  And the fourth, which stuck hit at 10:25 pm.  All fish felt nice sized and the one we got was maybe 12 lbs.

Meat rig on a mag diver back 90 took two hits, 250 copper with mag moonshine jackal took one hit, and our last hit came on the downrigger down 20 feet with a mag moonshine double trouble.

Might try again tomorrow night.

It really hurts when you can see them but not draw interest.  DR down 20' was a great move!

what depth did most of your bites come in JDH? 

PUG was out too last night and sadly struggled in a way that snapped our five trip 25+ bite on average streak - still was a great night though to be out there watching sunset!

we went 6 for 12 trolling that 85-105fow mainly  (similar program to prior trips and what you described you encountered)

they just didn't bite whatsoever after dark which as a surprise and then a relief to not have to be up til 1am cleaning fish

FishNFever updated us at the end of the night and it looked like RodBoss and RealProperty and some of them steelheaders actually did decent so hats off to them and I wonder what kinda water they were fishing in

I was in 70-90 fow. 

Also right around 9:30 LiveScope started marking schools and schools of bait fish.

sometimes the pod of fish your on just won’t bite and it makes for a great boat ride…. and it’s way better than working.

thanks for the report
