Holland/Saugatuck 8/13 PM -> 10for16

[2MD]

PUG and the gang set lines in 130fow at around 7pm and trolled out to as deep at 155fow.  Picked up a few right out of a gate zig-zagging in the 140s.  SW and SE trolling directions were good and the bites weren’t insane but we had 4 or 5 fish by about 8.30PM.  We were way south and down closer to Saugatuck and slide into that 130-120fow and zig-zagged there back and forth for the remainder of the night and that went pretty well.  Speed seemed super important and we were constantly toying with it using the digital trolldown controls on the F300.  In general they just seemed choosey tonight and only wanted to bite if we were 2.8.-3.1 ground speed.  Ended up 10 for 16.  Every rod on the boat took fish except the starboard rigger for reasons unclear to PUG.  Highest hits up were on the copp150s and I bet they went 3 times.  Twice they were steelhead.  Those were orange and white spoons.  Copp200 and Cop250 produced with moonshine spoons.  Rigger had a decent one on after dark that came off unfortunately and that was 72 down on moonshine spoon.  Copp300 and Copp350 both got smoked running spoons.  Meat was quiet and eventually we switched them out for paddles and spinnies and flies and they all went.  Big fish came on blue bubble spin doctor high dipsey out 240 (which put it about 60-70 down).  Some of the matures we were netting were really darkening and showing signs that they had been up by the river already.  Crazy to think that fall is just around the corner.
