Sandy 7/5

[fisherman21]

Got out for my first troll of the year. I had my brother and both of our sons out this morning. We launched at 5 in search of king’s right off the bat. Fished 90-140fow. We went 3/5 on kings, but lost the best one on a diver pulling fake meat. We didn’t stick king fishing out long as we wanted to get the boys on some fast action. We dropped two rods with cow bells and gambler rigs in 130fow, and couldn’t keep two rods in the water. Biggest was just over 18 When the boys got tired, my brother and I broke out the jigging rods. We ended up going 4/6 on the jig. Landed 4 lakers, lost a laker, and lost an Atlantic right at the boat. All in all it was a great morning and the boys had an awesome time! It’s only going to get better from here.

Awesome photos! Put a huge smile on my face, so I can imagine what kind of day the boys were having.

That's some good eating there!!! lol

 

I heard from a buddy that he did three Atlantics in that same area yesterday, which is two more than he'd ever done previously in a single day. Maybe a good year for them?

Great report, especially with the kids, thanks.   I must ask what “fake meat” were you using.  I have always used fish bites while salt water fishing, with good luck, but never for fresh water salmon.
