Holland 9/11 Evening

[zgrinder on Fin Warrior]

Fished solo outside of Saugy from 6:00 ish to 8:30pm.  Boated one mature king in 45 FOW on a J-plug down on a rigger, perhaps 15lbs at best.  Started in 70-80 FOW with lots of marks and two tip ups on that same J-plug with a dull hook.  IT was a fixed harnes otherwise I would have swapped it out for something sharper.  This fish I caught I shortened the lead to 3 passes and that got it done sort of cause ths hook fell out in the net.  The hook will be gone tomorrow.

I have to admit I am not that good fishing near bottom in shallow water.  I wind up with too much of the bottom on my baits.  Yes I do check them often but 20min with a null presentation hurts the effort.  The current was wacky in tight tonight running N/S.

Nice size king for your effort. You're right currents can be a real challenge.

Probably saw us out there.  We had a fun night.  Sheep sheep and more sheep enough of that but had to fish within 3’ of the bottom to get salmon.  

Ended up 9/10 if you include sheep 5/5 if not.  Four kings 8-13# and a really nice coho.

No kidding on the current we had to run like 30 degrees off due N-S and adjust the riggers and divers constantly to play chicken with the bottom.
