What LB test line for spring kings

[Erbyjoe]

This has been asked before but I have to ask again I have an old computer so it's hard to surf the site.I am heading to the oloctt area in May.I have always fished summer and fall so I always fished with 20 to 30 lb line. What size line do you guys recomend for this time of year This is a first time fishing in the spring time for kings so any info would be great.

We use 20 lb mono,had 2 Kings last Saturday go over 200 yrds,their in their prime right now.

[MANIAC]

Erin, 20 lb Big Game on my main lines. 20 lb P-Line flouroclear for leaders.

ditto

Im running 25lb McCoy Mean Green. Spring Kings fight harder than summer and fall Kings. :ast year I had one almost spool us out to close to 900', and 2 on the wire that each took out 600+'.

[Guest ReelDiel]

come on yankee..u just have to catch bigger kings in the fall!!!!!

we haven't had any good back and forths in awhile i figure u and billy made a truce....on a serious note Erie lookin pretty good right now for some big bass!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Yankee Troller]

Hey Mike! I seen your name on the LOC board. Nice job!

I think some people got fed up with those feuds so we stopped. We still have them at work on AOL IM .

I wish I could make the trip to Erie. Im booked solid through the end of June. I have a state fed tourney on the river and plan on running out to sturgeon pt. Me and a buddy were just talkin on luch about him going this weekend. Im jealous! Especially since I havent gotten into the Kings yet. But that first rip will change that.

[Erbyjoe]

Mike great job on the board also.And thanks guys I am getting some line today and going to put it on tonight thanks again for the reply's

[Billy V]

Mike,

Congrats on the LOC Laker. Word has it that a few fish have been caught out there on a Habanero..... Yankee, you know anything about that?????

[off track]

like others we run 20# on our riggers/dipsey's and boards

[Yankee Troller]

Yeah some newbie fisherman bought one, and got lucky on it or something. So he had to brag on the radio about it.

[Billy V]

Remind me....How many Kings did u catch off of spoons last weeknd???? I'd think you'd welcome luck!!!

[Yankee Troller]

We're not getting into this crappy dispute again are we?

The guy took a laker on it anyway. Those freakin things would eat anything last weekend.

[Billy V]

I was just bustin' on ya for old times sake!

[Yankee Troller]

Whatever dude! At least I take pictures with the lure that caught the fish and dont do the 'ol bait and switch with the Habby! Your head is the size of a freakin pumpkin about that spoon.

[Billy V]

Dude, there's never been any bait & switch! That spoon catches fish. And I hardly run the spoon any more.... :shock: :shock: :shock: I have too many fun new color combos to try!!

I also am using 20lb big game. I've gotten out 4 times for the derby already and not even 1 fish. Went from the Oak down to Shadigee , East to Eagle creek and everywhere in between. I'm going to give it one more try in the morning and have to work until Monday after that. The best picture i found was out deeper in 100- 120 fow but that was last Saturday and they weren't cooperating. I even tried a Habenaro

[Erbyjoe]

YEAH there back to true form

[Yankee Troller]

Its a heck of a lot better through AOL IM becasue anything goes! I made Billy cry one day because I was ripping on FH fish. Little did he know I was just joking, but he wouldnt talk to me for a while.

[Guest ReelDiel]

sorry guys i cant take the credit...i haven't fished the derby. i pre fished thursday with my bro and we found a school of bigger lakers. He went back friday and popped a nice one early. we both run trips and use the same boat name keeps thing easier working together. i got 2 much work going on right now. heading to erie friday....

[Yankee Troller]

YOU LUCKY DOG!

[Erbyjoe]

Heah Mike at least it's in the Family.It's not every day someone you know is on the big board Good job any ways.

Yankee keep this up and you will have to go in TIME OUT
