Kings River Quicky

[Bill Babler]

The White was mean to me yesterday so I continued my walleye quest on the Kings.

Dumped the tub in at the SK bridge at 7:30 to a surface temp of 42 degree. 
Blasted up the river and checked every bend and runout flat, NADA. 

Surface temps  remained in the low to mid 40’s range till I got to Hickory Hollow. Saw very few boats till I got there.  Then from HH up to the 86 bridge there was quite a bit of participation. Dozen to 15 boats. 
 

I think I visited with all of them. Two guys were trolling, both said that they had 10 small male whites. One guy said when I said small I meant small, about 1/2 pound each. 
 

Also spoke to 2 dudes in a jet. They said they had gone up to just below the Romp Hole. and had not seen any walleye. Said some of the deeper locations were not clear enough to see the bottom but last year at this time they were hammering them and you could see them. 
 

Surface temps  at H. Hollow was 50 degree and at the 86 bridge 52 degree.  Crazy cause it had a skim of ice on it last week. Most everyone I spoke with couldn’t believe it. but everyone’s electronic were saying 50 plus  

No one had a walleye but there were a couple of guys throwing A-rigs and said the bass were eating it really good. Nothing big but lots of bites. 

With my failed walleye experiment over I picked up the jerker and caught 11 bass. I had 12 yesterday with 2 squeaker keeps. Today I had  5 keeps

Just broke out the new Spro’s deep diver McStick. 1/2 the price of a megabass and I really like it.   Bass seamed to also. 


Good Luck.
