I love the smell of king blood in the morning.

Nice.

Sweet. Way to get it done!
I got down to the beach on Saturday. Had an issue come up as I was unloading back at home that I had to attend to. Ugh. Someone does NOT want me to fish.l Starting to get a little miffed about it.

Nice

Right on! Nice fish. My goal this year is to catch a big Kenai king as it comes up the Cook Inlet. First part of July should be prime for that.

I've been considering launching at the city dock (July 1-9 timing) and trolling a kwikfish with a sardine wrap and a jet diver starting about 2 or 3 hours before peak tide working upstream then troll downstream on the outgoing tide back to the ramp or maybe drag some eggs n glow on the way down might be more fitting. I've checked out Cunningham as a spot to launch to access Bluff Hole and the Cow Pasture but the way they have engineered the walkway down to the river makes is impossible to wheel a kayak down to the water. And then coming back up that slick mud bank with a boat would be more than a challenge.

Some old timer told me that that late Kenai Kings don’t feed as much. He pointed to a salmon spinner...see attached, I have yet connect anything with it.
I can only imagine July kings would be one epic fight and I’ll be more than happy join the club.
Looks like Friday or Saturday weather is ideal...no wind is a good news. I might be heading down Saturday for a quick run...got to keep my line wet to catch anything. By the way, I used green label herring trolling in 30 feet of water against out going tide.

Spinners like this used to be all we used for those July kings. It was later that we started trolling herring. Both work. July kings in the salt take a lot of time.
