Final wrap for the 2008 Kenai River King Season

Let me say first to the clients that we fished this season , thank you , and thanks again for your support without you we could not provide the best services available on the Kenai. Also to all of our return clients that we have been fishing for years now, as well as into the generations of returns "hats off to you", we are pretty darn lucky to have great jobs where we get to follow Kings 9 months out of the year and provide services to folks like yourself. We have never tried to make these Kenai trips to get your fish and off the water, but just taking a little extra time during the day waiting for the right time on tide to hook that right fish. As with anything in life there always one thing the stands out. Might be a weather day, water condition, or a great photo, this picture taken by the boys at "Willie Boats" that provided us with the basic #1 tool ,our boats and it's accessory's. To some it might not be good enough for a cover on a magazine or most walls , but it does show, all the right stuff that brings the Kenai River Alaska to the front of the list. King Salmon, great Boats, the latest in fishing rods and reels, and clients with their love for the sport , I hope it never ends , We will see you in 2009, on one of the finest piece's of water in the world the Kenai River for the mighty King Salmon, give us a call and we'll make it happen for you and yours, see you soon and good fishing ..............

Late July fishing Kenai River

Afternoon tide push, bouncing into it , fresh fish,, a little luck and see what you get , Tony and his wife, fought these fish with no problems, come to find out this wasn't her biggest fish in Alaska it fell short of that mark by 7 pounds, sunny day , tides and fresh fish , I just can add anymore to this the picture says it all, see you next year for some more hot action, good fishing to you guys............

More Kings come with July tides

Just about as mint bright as you could order, the boys really kept some dandy's from the river today , it wasn't a ripper of a bite but we just fished and when they showed we picked them off one at a time , good choice of fish, the guys are the bouncing machine's and looking forward already to next year , with such great tides and good fish showing its just a matter of time till that fish of a lifetime shows , hats off boys and good fishing to the Christensen Group for such a fun day on the water in July

Donnie bought the Wife, Kids & Grand kids to the Kenai

With the fishing heating up, and Don just returning from a week of fishing in Canada, at Great Salve at "ice-out" its going to be a tough road , to try and get some whopper's for the family. Let me tell you with Donnie and the Grand daughters in the boat , the action started out hot and always ended up hot , these girls took right to this King Salmon fishing like a duck to water, but by the time they landed there first one, we want more, rain or shine didn't slow the girls up , Ive have some fun times on the Kenai but its sure fun seeing folks with that first time enthusiasm as we seen for a couple of days in July, hats off and Kudo's to the girls on a job very well done, they ran around the boat when we had a fish on with the nets held high, a little scream once and awhile (the woman's sound) and all the rods layed in place, and even putting the fish with the bat to fish heaven, girls don't change and I'll hope to see you again with Grandpa Don and good luck

to all of you.....................

Week #2 for team Weyerhouser

The fishing continued to get better with the water temps holding , levels remaining good, and plenty of good tides to bring those sought after late run Kenai Kings, we put together some great catches for the week and these are a few of the high lights, even the rain could not damping the spirts, of this great crew, Carl hand picked a great crew fro this 2nd week and the boys didn't let them down, we are already looking forward to next year and maybe Jose getting a bigger fish that him, also thanks for the nicest scale ever from the crew , happy trails boys and see you next year

July Kings hit the Kenai River a little late

They showed a little late, this year , but just in time for the first week of the Weyerhouser group, with Peterson and Berkly rally the clients to some more great fishing on the Kenai River , this nice fish was caught pretty early in the day for Berkley to be keeping one, but it was just to good of a fish to roll back, Berkly and Alex were on there toes all week, and we had a special treat Alex brought his Ipod player with the built in speakers, trust me the fishing was good but during the slow time , "stairway to heaven " wasn't bad , it was 5 days of rock -n-roll oldies, and some great solid Kenai River Kings...............good job Berk

Lars Noren jr gets his first big Kenai King

I could go on and on about this week of fishing , but this one picture says it all Little Lars got his first big Kenai King, and had plenty of couching, but that smile says it all . Over the years his Grandpa Doug has put 12 Kings on the wall , along with his Son Lars also, but to see the 3 generation of Noren's tackle the Kings on the Kenai goes unsaid. Lars Jr fought this fish from start to finish on a great tide push at "mud island" and ate one of the fancy painted "G-Spot" k-16 with a wrap, water conditions fell apart for the first super Tuesday in July , but there were fish to go around we just had to work extra hard to get the bites, these were carry over June fish that were still coming in July and there were plenty of them, see you guys next year on another ripping week of Kenai River Kings...........

well seasoned fisherman & fisherperson get-em

Ray and wife are well seasoned fisherman, and do they like catching kings , there last trip up to Alaska wasn't as good as this one , and they really caught some nice fish in 2008 , the water conditions were still improving daily, and the catching was getting better, a great combination for Kenai Kings, these were some of the most solid slot fish of the season , and this is usually the week for the "big males " but they were still still a few weeks late till they showed , so there were plenty of large females to hunt down , looking for some great fishing without the crowds , June Kenai river Alaska that's the spot, slot limit on our fish is 46" to 55" have to be released but there is a tone of them under the slot , that will just about match wits with any seasoned vet on getting them to the boat , great June and good fishing to the Jennings it's always my pleasure..........

International Fisherman love Kenai Kings

We had a great group from Mexico the last week of June, with water conditions being tough , but improving daily we made the most of it , everyone caught fish , but had to work for everyone indeed. The boys told stories of salt water adventures and the fight of their salt water fish, till the rods layed down on the Kenai , new set of stories, they loved catching Kenai Kings , and wouldn't these fish were ripping them up as usual the were are the hard strike bite , and that's all takes , you don't have to have a boat load you just need enough, hats off to you boys see you this fall up on the Coos, Ola to you and great fishing......

Rick Spear Group has good days on the Kenai

Water conditions and fish counts continued to improve through the week , with a great ending , we caught some great fish , all under the slot , we didn't have any fish over the slot that were in the 50" range, but there were good amounts of fish in the 40" to 45" size group , Rick's team from Boeing did a great job , see you guys next year, when you get that "big-bird " done good fishing boys

Ellis Klan meets on the Kenai River

Jim, Steve, Neil, with the Hamster Man rolled into Soldotna, with one thing on their minds , we what to catch fish, wow!! let's rip them , and we did, the conditions the first part of June were some of the best all month , and the runs of fish were the best we had seen for twenty years , this is hot fishing folks , no crowds , great water conditions and good times with great weather , you cant order those combinations very often together, the last words on the boat "get the duck -tape" what fun we'll hog tie - em............

Last Day of the Kenai River King Run

Well here's the story, the winds blowing in the lower River , a cold one, so we stayed up river for the last 1/2 day on the River, we caught some other fish, but in the last 10 minutes of the season , we had seen this fish roll in the morning and wouldn't bite , then again at noon , I seen him roll again , he rolled a few minutes before we hooked him , and the battle was on, we shook that plug in front of his face till he just rolled right into it , hats off , to all the good fisherman that I had the pleasure fishing this 2007 season , its been a great season for Dad with their Daughters , and Dads with Sons and just the Family outing with the entire family , the true spirit of family still remains in the "Land of the Midnight Sun", see you in 2008 I have 12 days open for the season....................

My Favorite Martin

7/29/2005

Steve Martin's quest for the big fish every year always puts him in running, he always says it's got to be over 70# before its "in the box". Many fish were caught and released over the course of the 2005 season looking for the 100# King Salmon that would take us over the top, we didnt get the big bite we needed, we did see some fish in the 80# class, so we ended up the season with eleven fish in the 60# range and only one fish over 70#, we will continue our quest for that 100# pound Salmon in the 2006 Kenai River King Season, we hope to see you and yours there with us, give us a call lock your days in, if its your first trip on a river to seasoned pro, we would like to hear from you, keep your lines tight & thanks again for your support..........
