Billy V Wilson Report - May 23 & 24, 2009

[Billy V]

The fishing continued to be fantastic over the weekend in Wilson. On Saturday we had a steady pick all day and ended up with a great box of fish. The big Kings were up higher today than they've been lately and our riggers 40-60' down over 120-180 FOW pulling DW SuperSlim Die Hard, Glow Frog, and Da' Shiznit spoons were the best producers for us. Best down speed was 2.1-2.3mph. Later in the day we got our Deeper Divers to go pretty consistently too. They were loaded with both Spin Dr and Pro-Chip paddles pulling a variety of Sigg's Rigs flys....Glow Ghost, UV Wonderbread, and Stainless Steel were the best colors for us today.

On Sunday I took my wife & kids out for a couple of hours and everyone got to play with a few fish. William caught the biggest King of his life on a DW SuperSlim Green Eye Glow Ghost fished 130' down:

Benjamin caught the first King of his life on a Superslim Purple Clown fished off of a rigger down 50':

And my wife Shelley caught her first wire line King on a Deeper Diver that was pulling a White Double Crush Glow Spinny/Sigg's Rigs Glow Ghost fly that we had parked deep at 350' on a .5 setting:

We didn't fish on Monday but it sounded like things slowed down a bit.

Good job Billy!!! Looks like you managed to find a program that worked! We struggled all weekend, going 3 for 3 most days with only a couple of bigger fish. It was TOUGH out there. Now this east wind is pounding us, we're hoping to get out a few times this week as we're here in Wilson until Saturday.

Nice. Those TS riggers are sweet! What do you have mounted under the center rigger?

[Legacy]

I love that all of the family has matching hats!

Sponge....Shhhhhhh!!!! It's a TOP SECRET fish attracting computer that we've been testing. Seems to work pretty good...just throw a lure or two in the water and these Kings just jump into the boat!

Just kidding with you....what you see mounted below the center rigger is an old DART system that the original owner had installed. It was a trip computer of some sort that I disconnected as soon as I got the boat. Rather than take the head unit off and have a big hole to fill, I just left it on there.

BTW...in case anyone has been wondering how we like the new Cannon rod holders....in a word...SWEET!!!

Thanks. I couldn't make out what the heck it was.

I picked up a couple of the new Cannon Dual Axis holders for my wire dipseys. Awesome product!
