Pulled lines as the waves were building to 3ft and starting to bounce me around.

Hey Ed I know you fish a lot out of Holland and I’m coming this afternoon (Thursday) for the first time this year. Were you out this morning? Just wondered where to start since the blow? Any ideas

[SeaFoam]

I fished Holland solo this morning. Started out in 65 FOW, out to 90 FOW, back in to 50 FOW. 
 

13 lb king , 50 FOW, rigger on bottom(out of temperature), ms mag green jeans

 

14 lb king, 42 FOW, dipsy, 3 setting, back 50 ft. 
 

Water is cold right to surface. 48 degrees , 30-35 ft down. 
 

No hits on 5 color or 7 color. 
 

Several boats fished right outside the harbor.

a pair of 13 and 14 lb kings is a nice solo outing. those boys can be a challenge to get in the net. well done and thanks for the report.

No, wife took me shopping for lures I couldn't resist.

I'm glad Seafoam could help you.


Nice catch on the two kings SeaFoam!
