Wilson - May 2, 2009

[Billy V]

Today we fished out of Wilson and boated a nice mixed bag of Lakers, Kings, and Cohos. We started out a bit West of port in 50 FOW and boated a few nice Lakers that came on a DW SS Die Hard fished off of our riggers parked at 30 & 40 feet:

After several hours of messing around in the skinny water we finally decided at about 10:30am to slide out to some deeper water and we were rewarded with several nice spring Kings. The Kings wanted our spoons run off of the riggers anywhere from 25-50' down over 80-110 FOW. The Northern King Sea Sick Waddler, DW SS Green Dolphin, and DW SS Green Goby were our best King spoons today, and we had a great King take a Green Double Crush Glow Spinny/Sigg's Rigs 42nd Pulse fly combo on a wire Deeper Diver set at 120' on a #2 setting:

I wish I could tell you what our best down speed was today but we didn't have the probe up and working. Best SOG on the GPS was 2.5-2.8 for us today. We'll have our probe back in the water tomorrow.

We'll be back out tomorrow and I'll do my best to get a report up before I catch an early morning flight to WI on Monday.
