The biters were all in 110-140. I launched at 11 and fished out to 260 and back. Went 0-5 on matures. I was in the tan Lowe aluminum fishing solo. I think you guys were probably the boat that yelled over something to me. I was driving pretty irradically at that point as I had fish on or dipseys that popped. Every 30 seconds i had something going on. Chinese fire drills! Moonshine geezer spoon took 4 of the 5 hits down 120 fished off a swr burning 2.8 at the ball. The fish out deep must start to come back in as the sun goes down. I've done well out in 150-250 in the evenings in August. Doubles and triples as the sun starts to set. I had a lot of bait and marks way up high 40-60 when I was out deeper.

I was up to 3.5 sog. I ran slow most of the day 2.0-2.4 at the ball. Then the boat upped itself while I was deploying gear. Next thing you know fish on! The next few hits I took I would stay steady at 2.4...then burn it up to 2.8. Then back down.

I tried RV crab face and it never took a hit.

My FF is a dsi and has a really narrow cone. I marked a ton of fish and bait way up high around 40-60 down. I launched at 11 and fished out to 250 for a look-see then joined the pack around 2:00. Ran most of my stuff DEEP...around 100-110. Had the 600 copper release a couple of times. But running solo I missed it driving or changing stuff around. I pulled my dipseys after awhile because all my hits were on the riggers. And they kept popping running as hot as I was. I tried a couple other moonshines and the geezer was the only one for them.

I went 0-5 today solo in the afternoon. Along with a couple releases I didn't count. The stud bait was a moonshine geezer on a swr. After I lost it to a really nice fish that screamed out and almost spooled me...the action slowed. They wanted it fast 2.8 at the ball.

The middle are black/silver (half painted black) with raspberry tape.

How does the top work? That slides back in on a channel?

Exactly

Check out the used Hewescraft that's listed in the classifieds. That boat has a ton of room for a 20 footer. A hard top and high sides. Easy to trailer and launch. And will last forever.

Don't forget some sutton 44 spoons (or the knockoffs).

My 2 color 120-140 ft down was the ticket on my last outing.

Make sure you cinch your rigger rods tight to the ball. Pull on the line between the first eye of the rod and the reel...while reeling with the other hand. You want all that extra play out of the line. Try different depths too. The other day I had stuff from 60-150 feet down. This time of the year the Kings can be all over the depth spectrum.
