Holland Big Red Friday-Sunday!!!

[Jolly Time]

Well, this was a tough three days of fishing but in so many ways so special. The lake started to flip again and then flipped completely by Sunday morning. On top of that the waves were unreal. We saw nice conditions Friday with my Wife and two daughters doing the ladies tournament during the Big Red all catching fish. Pretty sweet and just soecial soending time with family. The Saturday and Sunday tournament was tough! Waves, wind and 58 degree water just wow. If you wanted to find silver you had a short window for an hour in tight and then you better know how to catch lake trout or be willing to go DEEP. That's all I can say and oh...I am very poor at catching lake trout.

We did catch a few silvers in 140fow +/- 20feet. Green hulk rv was good on a 275copper. OG Raspberry Carbon on 200 and 225 took fish. Yeck green jeans mag on a dipsey contributed out a meer 100feet on setting 3. The highlight of the weekend was setting up outside the pierhead Sunday at 6:15am with a 3 color and DW carbon rv in 45fow south troll. We caught our biggest brown trout ever. 13lb 4oz! A whopper!

I hope things change quick out there. We did find good water out 220+fow but the wind and waves just made it so difficult.

Nice brown Trout!
Sounds like it was hard fishing though. Friday night in Whitehall was slow but Saturday we fid average with 5 big salmon including a 22 pound brute.
