SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

====================

The first 2 hours were unbelievable, marked over 20 kings in 80 - 85 FOW out by the nuke plant as soon as we got out there. Ended up setting only 2 riggers down because one was always firing for a couple hours. Lost the first fish which was a screamer! Fought him for about 10 minutes and just as he came into sight of the boat he spit the lure. Set up again and fired another screamer. Before 8:30 we had boated 4 kings and lost 2 others. 2 were in the 10-12 lb range and 2 were smaller ones that we released to fight another day. After the wind shifted a bit and started to kick up it slowed down the fishing for us. We searched for a few hours trying to find them again and managed a 10lb brown and 9lb laker during that time. We decided to pack it in so we trolled the shoreline from the plant to Catfish trying to fill the box with browns. We ended up landing 2 browns over 11lbs within 15 minutes of each other around the high rocks. Beautiful Browns with great color! We managed another cookie cutter in front of catfish creek so with a full box we headed in. The morning was the best we have ever had for kings on my boat, especially in the spring!
