My post about the downrigger clips got me thinking about picking up a few more lures to drag behind the boat this upcoming King Season. Just curious to see what everyones faves are for fishing Puget Sound. If I only had 2 to use this season due to the abundance of 5 to 6 inch herring I would use the cop car tomic spoon with the prism tape straight off the rigger with no flasher, and the old standby green spatterback hootchie with a mylar insert behind a green 11 inch hot spot flasher. What are your faves?

green point wilson.

K 13 X Tiger Taxi w/ sardine stink...
Whole herring in the salt (but that's not a lure)
or super secret coho killer...shhhh...

green pt.wilson in the salt, my k14 grinch with more teeth marks than you could count and a smiley face on the bill in the columbia

coho killer rigged with a split ring/barrel swivel/rvrfshr siwash.
Standard hoochie setup would be #2.
#3 would be a Funky Chicken spoon no flasher.
Also like cutplug no flasher or a whole herring toothpicked behind an Abe and Al.
So there's five. Like em all.

I had a crappy king season last year but the "go to" was not what you are mentioning Chuck.
A couple of guys hammered em up north with something different.
I do like the Ace Hi's though....not crap talking those.

Coyote green and white that is the only lure I carry but I only fish with herring so I not too sure if it really works

Green spatter back ACE HI all the way. . . . . . can't beat "Ole Blue" . . . .

I fish 5 setups.
Silver Horde Coho Killer or Sonic Edge Spoons (mostly in the outer sound) CK Colors are White Lightning, Army truck, Sonic's in UV purple or green.
Hoochie and a herring strip (primarily in EB and other terminal fisheries..) Hoochie colors are Purple Haze, Aurora, green splatterback, or all glow with green stripe.
Ace-Hi's in white or green splatter back
Cut plug straight off the dr with only a bead chain, anywhere.
& Plugs, I only fish all glow with a green stripe.

atomic 603 gets the big ones every time!!!

Ace-hi. It's where it's at. Kingers can't resist 'em.

What about the "mreyns special"

Coyote spoon in Funky Chicken.

That color sure produces well for BIG river kings as well.

Doc, are'nt you supposed to be hooking numerous Kings on the fly rod here soon?

summer kings for me has to be a blue label cut plug by itself with 55ft of wire out

word

Anything Captain Downriggin's

Just out of curiosity, anyone ever try an Alvin or Simon wobbler out in the salt??

Keith

Coyote spoon in green/white glow. Cut plug a close second.

I've successfully fished Apex lures for kings, but strangely had no luck here. All much fish came from BC on trips up near Campbell River and farther north.

Nothing like the motor mooched plug cut herring for kings... No flasher, just plain, unadulterated, slow trolled herring.

Whole herring slow spin w/4-5 oz.
