I made my first trip to the south sound on Sunday and was able to get three kings to the boat in short order. Started off at the clay banks about 0530 and hit all three fish in the first hour. Fished until 0900 and called it a day.

There were plenty of boats out there, but most folks seemed to be catching a fish or two. I'd estimate that about 75% of the boats had a fish in the box. Most looked to be in the 12 - 15 pound range.

Mooching was the ticket, and seemed to be the standard method off the clay banks. However, there were a few trollers who were trying to troll through the pack of moochers which lead to many fouled lines and angry fishermen. I don't understand how people can figure they can troll right through these concentrations for jiggers and moochers! Seems very arrogant to me.
