    When I came to fish camp on July 8th I really thought this would be the best chance to catch a 30 lb king that I have had in the last 5 yearss given the slow bite in May, June and part of July due to the massive alewive die off allowing easily obtained forage for the predator species. At around 10 am yesterday we had a wire rod fire with a FF down 70’. The king weighed in at 31.2 lbs with a 26” girth and 40.5” long. My buddy Matt, a Maine lobsterman was on the rod.

    Great report. I have been thinking of trying my luck at jigging kings as well. I am not sure why more people dont do it. Man what a fight that would be.

    It was tough weather for us on Friday but we fished from 6am to 3 pm. Only landed 7 with 2 over 20 lbs. Seems like an ok day but that is quite a few hours in a bag of West wind. 6 spoon bites one flasher fly. Me and my son fished from 5:30-4 went 12/15 with several over 20lbs. We started out in 165-190 then at noon we went out to 550-650. Only one bite on a meat rig not landed the rest on spoons.

    I tested a 300 copper with a torpedo weight yesterday. Without the weight it went 55' down at 2.8 mph. With the weight it went 70' down. I attached it to the leader/copper junction on the copper so it would not slide down the leader.

    I was out this morning. 50 degrees was at 70'. Seems like we get one day were they are biting good and two days its not so good. But there are some nice ones around. We boxed by 10:30 and let one 8.5-9 lb go then landed a 25.7 lb. Yesterday I fished solo for a brown and a stealhead.

    I am wondering if we may have caught them last year. Cant catch them twice if they go in the box. Seems to be very inconsistent everywhere.

    Guys have been doing well on Browns here and like me they are also from Maine. One had 15 on Friday. But many have been doing well all the way from here to Sodas Point. I have got three while trolling for salmon the last two times out. 8-12 lbs.

    I herd a rumor that a few may be showing up on the bar. We have been fishing out of Fair Haven and Oswego it seems to be hit and miss depending on the day.
