Went out with a buddy last night and we ended up 4 for 4--all kings (and some nice ones too!)

Started in 170 and did a west troll out to 200. Swung around and went all the way into 150 and tried to stay in that area the rest of the night. Beautiful night on the water, it was like glass.

5 color jerry lee silver streak mini - shaker king

Was really suprised to not get into any cohos. We moved in searching for them but couldn't get any. Tons of huge hooks in the 150-190 area.

Talked with a guy at the fish cleaning station and a guy in the morning had 15 cohos in close--50-60fow. Thats about all the information I got. Maybe the cohos are on the move?? The kings were blast, first I've got this year.

Awesome job Erik. The cohos can't be beat for eating, but there's no comparison at all when you pull that pole out of the holder and a king's on the other end.

BTW, that's really deep. How heavy DR ball are you using and what shape. Blowback an issue?
