I would like to target some of the kings in the Sky this weekend, do you think it is more effective to plug through the holes or anchor up in one for a while?

Yes and yes. Use a bait diver and whole sandshrimp with a spin-n-glow. Hot-n-Tots for normal water and Mag-tots for the deeper slots. Work that bait diver through the slot nice and slow and side to side. Work it some more...and more...and more. If you see some fish rolling, work it some more. If that doesn't work, and you can row back up to the head of the hole, sit on anchor with your baits out. Kings mill around in the slots and will eventually come close to your baits one way or the other. Persistence will get these fish to bite. Usually, when I've targeted kings on the Sky, I'll pick 2-3 known good deep slots and work the snot out of them. You should be able pick up some fish...or at least get a take down or two. This fish was from last year at this time. Hit the shrimp while on anchor. Some of you can probably figure out where that is. That's almost always good for at least one fish. ![](http://steelhead.fish.washington.edu/~parker/pics/fish106.jpg)

If you know of a hole or two where the kings will hold, I would work that hole for a while, throwing several proven offerings until they bite. My "go-to" for Sky kings is a corky/yarn in oranges and reds with Sand Shrimp.
Dang, I need to get my butt up there and target those beasts. Let me know if you want any company over the next week or two because I am on vacation.

Parker "Use a bait diver and whole sandshrimp with a spin-n-glow. Hot-n-Tots for normal water and Mag-tots for the deeper slots. " When using the bait divers, do you run just one on the middle rod, or do you run them on all three plug rods? If I get one like in the picture I will be happy. ![laugh laugh](/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/laugh.gif)

I'd say probably not Gary. With a sled it would be a moot point. If you want to target kings and summers both, launch either at Sultan or Lewis St. In a drift boat I'd say take out somewhere within the legal area if you want to bonk a king. Otherwise what's to stop someone from getting one in say the blue tarp hole, or the Snohomish itself, taking out at Doug bar, and claiming they caught it at Buck Island. You goin' out this weekend LT? Good luck! ![smile smile](/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/smile.gif)

Thats a big FYI for me, I did not know it worked that way.
Does anyone know if this is actually stated in the regs this way?
