Great fishing out there!

 

Solo mission today.  Lines in the water at 11:30 about 0.25 miles West of the river between 20-40 FOW.  There were three of four other boats in the area...I set up in 25' and pointed West...Within one minute of getting set a king hit a DW Martel spoon on a 100' steel and started ripping line.  Got it to the boat and it weighed in at 12#2oz on the Bubba digital scale.  I was excited!

 

I spent the next two hours running back and forth in front of Greece in 25 FOW picking kings...Great screens...All three rods had fish on them at one time...chaos!

 

Riggers at 14 and 22 down...Back 40-60 feet.  100' weighted steel back probably 300' total.  All spoon program - picture below.  Switched over to a little more glow around 12:30 with the lower light conditions and rain showers and it seemed to help.

 

Best fish was just over 15#....tons of 8-12# fish.  Of the 13 kings I got to the boat today only two were in the 5-6# range.  I landed one ~3# brown as well.  I had one screamer that took line for 30 seconds before there was nothing...It gave the biggest tug of the day for sure...
