One more month to go!!! Ship Cr King..tiny but its a king!

So I came back early to avoid the madhouse drive.  Also I had to get back to watch the Women's World Cup Soccer.  USA vs Japan!  Go...uh...GO...uh..Soccer?  I usually like to root for the underdogs.  In this case it USA is ranked higher but Japan is the defending champion. Hmmm...  Well I can't lose so I'll just watch and hope there are some great plays and I don't curse the officiating.  But I digress.  All that doesn't mean I can't go fish!

Hit the water around 11am.  Tide was already falling.  Use roe under a bobber and managed two fish.  Both would be considered jacks here.  But on the other hand, they are both definitely chinooks.  So I have to count it.  I would draw the line at going to the local lakes that stock kings but they rarely get over 10 inches long.  These were nice chunky fish, smaller than even my June king. 

Still, these are legit ocean going fish so ok, if I counted my June king, these will count too!  But I'll still continue to try and catch a good one.  I think next year my goal will have to include a weight or size threshold.  Maybe 10 pounds and 24 inches or something like that.  Still, the point isn't that you catch big fish from kayaks, but that these kayaks put you in a position to catch a king salmon EVERY MONTH OF THE YEAR...in ALASKA!!!!  INSANE!!!!

NICE Trout... I mean Kings.  They look pretty bright for being so late for that run.

Probably have to put a size limit on to stay challenged eh? 

WTG on keeping the streak unbroken, though!

All the rollers I saw over ten pounds looked bright. Didn't see a blushed fish. I was surprised.

Very nice now you need to go fish the Keani and get a 60

We're you all the way up in the creek? We're there many bank folks ?

I was below the first bridge.  Not as many people as I expected.  Quite a few bright fish still rolling.  I was surprised. 

Right on!

Those are cute! Good job Rudy.

Lol. Yes they are!!! I'll try for a legit one!!

You going to be at WG this weekend.  I'm bringing some friends from out of town to fish

I forgot it on my June fish.  My July fish the batteries were did.  I was sort of thinking that a picture is not as good evidence then I realized my iPhone has not only date but location as well. 

I really don't want to count the July king/jack....need to find one.....

I would so love to hit a good King on a no-power boat day in the Kenai...... Maybe drift eagle rock to beaver creek and then bounce there for a while...  That'd be a kick to nail a Kenai King from a kayak!   Still single hook no boat I think.
