Launched out of Oswego Sat morn with the wife in tow. Headed out to 350fow to set up and headed north. Managed 2 Kings both in mid 20's.Had 1 other release that we dropped. All fish came 140 down on meat rig . Pulled boat around 3 and headed to Henderson and the Westview Lodge. Sun we fished off the Finger in 145-155fow managing 3 kings 1 -20# 2@24 and a 10 lb Laker. Mon we fished the same areas as the screen was lit right up with fish in the trench but could not get anything to go other than 2 lakers. This morning before heading home we made one last run that produced a 23 lb king. Tough fishing the 4 footers with the wife this morning. Highlight of the trip was on Sun when my wife caught her first dipsy diver King as part of a double as I was occupied with another fish off the rigger when the wire dipsy out 325 fired All the fish out of Henderson came on paddles and flies with superfrog with a sweetpea in tow being our best combo. Doing laundry and shopping tomorrow before heading back out tomorrow night for a 4 day weekend.here are a few pics.

awesome!!!! cant wait!!!!

Nice pics and sounds like it was a good time cant wait till I get to go out not this year but next for sure may have to take a charter for my first time out but oh well. Have the boat just don't know anything about king fishing. Best of luck on the next trip.

Super report Scott. Way to stay after them. Heading out this weekend with Matt. I'll keep you posted.

Way to get after them! Great report and fish! Good luck on the rest of your trip.

Thanks for the post and pics. Hope the lake behaves on the second round.

Arrived in Henderson Thurs morn.3 footers in the Trench but fishable. With the full moon though could only manage a half dozen lakers 8-14 pounds and a 5 pound brown. Fri brought 15+Mph winds out of the north so Mexico was not an option so back to Henderson where we managed 2 kings and a coho. Sat we were finally able to fish Mexico Bay. Headed to waypoints from last year in 105-125fow just south of the Salmon. River and sure enough within a half hour had a double/double. All 3 fish over 25#s. As the pack set up out in deeper water we continued to have releases just had a tough time landing fish Sat afternoon I had a king strike the wire dipsy and spool my wire only to have my backing break Unbelievable to hold a rod and watch 1000 ft of wire scream off the reel. We called it around dinner time so I could get my reel respooled for Sunday with 6 kings in the box.

Sunday we launched again @ Mexico at 5 am and headed back to our waypoints. We ended Sunday at noon with seven Kings in the box.

The bite was as usual on green/white/chrome or some combination of those colors.All fish came down 80 to the bottom. The thermocline was setting back up at 80 ft Barring any big blows this coming weekend should be great for fishing. Here is some more fish porn for you guys





Headed back out to fish Fri to Mon

Beautiful pictures Scott... Happy you got into the action. These are great catches.

Good stuff Scott! Tell Randy I was asking about him. Is it true that you keep a spare jacket on hand for him during Frostbite Season? LOL
