2nd trip - 2018

[LongLine]

Trip #2:  Launched about 6.   3 others already out there.  66F Surface in the river:

Obviously overcast.  Slight SW wind.  Headed out and slightly to the left.  A few boats in the 50-60 ft range. Stayed away from them & put the gear in around 90FOW.   Headed outward.  Water a lot more stable than last weekend.  44F  35 ft down.

 

2 kings:  8  & 12 Lbs  at 130-140 FOW.  Both off riggers.  Medium leads, moving right along.  2 for 4 - not too bad for flying solo.  Lots of junk in the water - weeds, sticks, small pieces of trash.  Had to clear the probe about 8 times. "Medium" clear water.  Wind shift to NW & clear sky around 8:30.  Off at 10, hoping to miss the "nuts".  Counted 26 boats on the way in, but looked pretty scattered.  

 

1 king on the 1st trip, 2 kings on the 2nd trip...my arms are going to fall off on the 7th or 8th trip.    Very feisty beasties!

 

Luck to all,
