Fishing Report Week Ending 7/16/11

This past week has been the most consistent king bite on the Kenai. We've been working the tidal area from the Crossover to the Pasture on a daily basis. Most fish have been caught on a spin 'n glo with eggs with a few caught on kwikfish with a sardine wrap. Pictured above is Arne, Jim and Mike with their Super Tuesday limit of kings.
Here's Jeff and Christy releasing a nice Kenai king. This is one of three they caught and released on Saturday afternoon. They told me they would get all the red salmon they need in the week ahead and just wanted to catch and release. Good for them and long live the the kings!
Here's Joe, Butch, and Jigs of "Team St. Paul" posing after a successful afternoon of fishing
Mike Stacken bounced out a nice king early Saturday morning. Mike was definitely due to score first.
Wally and Lisa (visibly happy and pregnant) show off a "quitting time" fish. The two hadn't had a bite all afternoon and with less than 5 minutes left in the day this beauty hit.
I anticiapate the week ahead to be strong. We are definitely hitting the peak of the second run of kings.
One last comment, the red salmon have hit the river in huge numbers. Let the madness begin.
