Wilson Afternoon Shakedown 4/15 kings

[CK3080]

I had some service and electronics work done to my boat this spring at Krenzer's and when I got the call that it was all ready to go and seeing Monday's weather report, I couldnt pass up a quick shakedown trip.  Got on the water around 1 PM in Wilson and spent about an hour playing around with the new electronics.  Put out a 3 rod spread in 80 FOW straight outta port. Water was a perfect green sorta trapped between two mudlines. Fished from 2PM - 5PM and pulled three good kings and missed a rigger bite that never came tight.  Bay Rat LXD in green/yellow (cant afford it maybe?) 200ft back on an inline and 31 rigger with a mag DW game over took the fish.  Kings were 10, 12, and 14 lbs on the handheld scale.  Also, shout out to Rick at Krenzer's for doing a heck of a job on the electronics install.  He handled everything start to finish on suggesting new stuff, re-utilizing old stuff, and custom fitting all the installs.  Turned out great.  Boat is back in the barn and I will be back to Wilson in a few weeks.

 

Also, fished the AM of Tuesday 4/16 and couldnt buy a king bite to save my life, the good water moved in or out or east or west, not sure but I couldnt find a king willing to bite, and lakers and browns really arent my thing.
