LongLine Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Launched at the river again, about 5:00. Went solo this time. Went straight out to 120 FOW. Heavy clouds. Very slight ENE wind. Put on the purple freebie that JV’s gave me for telling them that Reeljerks sent me and set it down 27 ft & about 40 back. Within a couple minutes I had this guy: (DW SS Bloody Death) Bow: Putted around for about an hour then put an NK28 Purple Spook on the other rigger & dropped it to 34 down, back about 60. Was over 130 FOW when the DW fired. Had it on for about 10 minutes then the spook fired. Landed the first one but treble got stuck in the net so I threw the whole thing between the seats and grabbed the other rod. Luckily he was still there. Got him to the boat but had to tail him. My first decent king double as a soloist in a long time. 16 & just shy of 20#. Took a while for my knees to stop shaking. Did some backtracking & got this little guy: Headed out a little & got 7 more shakers. I love to see this on the screen: Unfortunately that beast couldn't beat this guy: These guys did the damage: Good luck to all, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongLine Posted May 24, 2009 Author Share Posted May 24, 2009 Thanx guys. I've found that on those heavy overcast days purples are the go-to color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
