8/6 Port Sheldon

[WRENCHED 4 IT]

Went solo last night had my crew back out at the last minute with some issue at work,so I went out early to do some scouting. Went north towards GH couple of miles stopping in different depths checking water temp. Found 73-80FOW at 65 foot down water was 49 degrees. Tried a few different combinations being able to only run 3 lines and found the down rigger and 150 copper to work best. Between 6:00 -8:30 pm went 5-6 all kings. 
 

What worked.

2.1 -2.5 speed at the ball in a south east troll.

All 5 kings were taken on the down rigger using a Pro King Lemonberry Mag spoon. Ran 55 to 65 ft down moving rigger up and down every 15 minutes or so line off ball set at 60 ft. Lost 1 on a 150 copper with a SS raspberry carbon.

60 ft back of ball is longer than I usually run. Note to self: try it!

Moving the ball up and down does make a difference, shaking up the neighborhood a little bit.
