More Laker action for us today. Jay, Dad and I got a late start and headed West towards the river at about 7am. We ran out to about 50 FOW just a tad East of 4 Mile and set up with a big SW wind at our backs. We had lots of marks on the screen in 80-90 FOW (probably Lakers) but we just couldn't get them going with any sort of consistency.  In the two hours we were out there we got bit on our SS Die Hard on a rigger parked at 70' and we took a really good shot on our diver pulling a green Spinny/Sigg's Green Hypnotist fly out 90' on a #2 setting. That diver shot was a real good fish and it peeled a bunch of line off before throwing the hook. I'd bet that was our first West-end King bite! Here's Jay with one of the biggest Lakers he's ever caught:





I'll be the first to admit that today was more about exploring the area than it was about actually fishing, so when the wind picked up even more we all decided that it was time to head back to the dock. There were a couple of other boats a bit East of us in the same water depths we were in and on the way in we saw a couple more working the skinny inside water, but I have no idea how any of them did.  I really wanted to get out there and give it an honest effort today, but Mother Nature had other ideas and we had plenty to do back at the dock so we decided to call it an early day and head back in and get to work on the boat. 

With this warm weather we've had recently the Kings will be arriving in Wilson any day now.  The next month is going to be fantastic fishing and we still have some availability for fishing in Wilson.  May 11, 13, 24, and 31 are still open and I'll even pair up anglers to make a full crew.  I'll need four guys at $125 each to cover the cost of the trip, so if that's something that interests you, let me know!
