What a great weekend fishing for kings, we launched Sat a little late, around 1030am at Lakeport, and started marking bait fish immediately at 35 to 40 feet, so down went the cannon ball and off we went, water surface temp was 54 degrees, we put out 3 rods as in my early morning haste forgott my 4th rod, after about an hour of bobbin around the lake in 100ft water, riggers set at 40ft green flasher a green fly we caught our first king, 7lbs, we stuck around the bait fish and about an hour later we pulled out a 12lber. Got off the water around 3pm, and back at the house at 4, where I cleaned our catch and decided to BBQ the 7lb, it was awesome.
Sun morn in the water at 630am and in the same depth 35 feet the first rod was in the water and as I was setting up the second rigger bam fish on, 6lb king, pulled it in and reset the rigger, and bam sencond rigger pulled in a nice 12lb kinger,the highlight of the day was the 28lb king we landed what a fight, screaming line 450ft and a 45 min fight what a day, total for the day was 6 kings, and 1 steelhead.
What a day, fishin with good friends, beautiful days, fish in the freezer, life doesnt get any better then that. Oh and an understanding wife.....fish on lads
