Holland 7-25-26 Morning

[Jolly Time]

I usually have a lot of detail in my reports but with the upwelling/lake flip, it is a ghost town out there right now. 

Managed to catch a couple Lakers after washing lures for 3 hours. We tried 100-180fow. We were trying to find some warmer water. Nothing. I mean nothing. We sent a couple trout rigs down to the bottom and bounced bottom. Good practice but not my favorite type of fishing.

We were going to try in tight but what I heard and and confirmed later is that 50fow +/- was ok from 4am to 6am with a few caught after 6am. Fairly small fish with a decent one mixed in. 2-4 fish seemed to be the average catch and done around 9am

We did see a few boats out in the 220+ depth. I don't know what they did? I hope the water can straighten itself out this week. I see north winds and waves early in the week. Not great!

Fish seemed to have scattered with the flip.  Hopefully we will find them later in the week when the lake lays down.  Thanks for the report.

I just go around to posting our Friday evening report.  Same thing as your morning troll.  Lake was empty.

Sometimes with the flip, bait will end up scattered in 200+ fow.  And the fish seem to scatter and follow.  Other times they load up in shallow.  Tough to say which will happen.  Was hoping for warm water to set in but as you said, forecast doesn't look great.

I heard a lot of the same Dave,

Thanks for the report.

I’d love another flip.  Steel on the beach until dark then walleye at the piers.
