After a long week or so doing some serious
roofing work, I did make it to the boat late in the day. After fiddling with a few things, I hopped aboard KC-1 with Jason and Matt and headed out for a short evening fish. We searched the pier heads for fish and after not seeing anything to speak of and checking water temperature, we decided to head for deeper water. We set lines in 100+ feet and trolled out and around some commercial nets. After loosing the first fish, we trolled around and picked away at a few more fish. In the couple hours we got to fish, we managed to land 5 fish and had a couple other hits that didnt hook up. Fish seemed to be in the 110'-130 fow of water range and mostly in the bottom 3rd of the water column. Water was warmn down very deep. Due to time and waves, we didnt venture out any further, but I would guess there could be some decent action to be had in really deep water several more miles out from where we were. There will be lots of good fishing yet to come this season. The major run appears to be over for the fall Kings, but there could certainly be a late push if some cold water shows up anytime soon. In the meantime, I will be looking for calm days to run offshore many miles looking for the younger fish that should be eager to bite. Past seasons have shown the best fishing of the entire year to be in October. Once the water begins to cool a bit, there will be easy catches higher in the water column. Wer just need some calmer days than what is forcasted at this time. So get out there and shoot your deer and ducks while its windy, and on a calm day, hop aboard the Salmonhead for some of the best fishing of the year. |
