I don't know what it is but for some reason honeymooners do not catch fish in my boat. Last year we came real close. On one trip the bride did not catch the fish but a gentleman in the boat let her reel his fish in and let her keep it. On another trip the bride fought a fish for about 10 minutes before it was cut off on the prop of another boat.
The streak continued this week.
Rebekah and David were celebrating their honeymoon on the peninsula and worked a king trip in. Nothing. Not even a drive by bite. If you're on a honeymoon you may want to rethink fishing with me.
On the other hand, anniversaries and birthdays are another matter. People celebrating these events seem to do very well. In fact, the day Rebekah and David fished with me one of the guys in the boat turned 21. He caught 3 fish. I'm not sure if this just happens to be a coincidence or if my boat is truly jinxed. Who knows, maybe all left handed people haven't caught a fish in my boat and they're jinxed as well.
Overall this past week was up and down. Some days we caught fish. Some days we didn't.
Right now the average sonar count is under 300 kings a day. This is a big factor in why we haven't been doing better. Hopefully the second run will kick into gear soon and the catch rate should jump up significantly. A side note about the red run. Our guests at the cabin had a tough time catching reds at the Russian River. A couple of limits were caught but overall the run is past it's peak.
One final comment and this goes out to Peter Medchill. I fished Jim Nelson and his family today and I had a great time with them. Jim's son Elliot caught a nice king and it's going on the barbecue grill tonight. Like most people visiting Alaska for the first time, Elliot's king was the biggest fish he has ever caught.

You must be saving the BIG Kings for Rattlesnake Bob and his crew for July 17th and 18th! RSBob
Glad you had a good time with Jim Nelson and his family -- and they caught a King. They are nice people.
By the way, I'm left handed and I seem to recall catching Kings with you -- find another reason for no bites (hee hee).
Hope your summer is good -- mine is going fast -- up to the cabin for a week with grandkids, etc. Catching nice bass on leeches -- it's a grandkid thing.
Bill and I fished the Rum River for smallies -- 4 right off the bat and then none for 4 hours. Go figure.
Hi Jane -- you're still my favorite.
