9-25 Sandy Creek kayak trolling for staging salmon

[flyboy7]

I put a J-plug on my trolling rod and a spoon on my spinning rod and trolled in my kayak early this morning at the mouth of Sandy Creek from about 6 to 20 FOW.

I hooked into two line screaming male salmon, first on the spoon then a while later on the J-plug.

The first one was the biggest but I lost him on my second attempt to net him. I guess using a single circle hook was a bad idea. That fish was towing me toward Canada at 2.5 mph according to my GPS.

Later, I managed to land the salmon that ate my J-plug. He weighed in at 20 lbs and measured 37" long. After the early morning bite slowed down, I checked out deeper water but didn't find anything hungry out to 100 FOW. The wind picked up and sent me and my kayaking buddies back to shore.

Thank you for having that flag were boaters can see you, I have had my share of close calls with Kayaks in the past years. Outstanding job on the Kings as well
