Well heck, today was going to be a great day fishing for King's in Area #9, I hoped. We made our way out the Jetty about 07:30 and found white cap's as far as you could see. I called a few buddy's out there and they said Waaaahoooooo. So we spun around and headed for home..

I was really bumming, wanted to fish and hoped to get the wife in some big fish action.. We went home, re-grouped the gear and headed for Lk. Cav. Now the truck is fixed and all. We made the lake about 11:30, bit of wind from the North and clearing sky's.. We did a big loop around the lake before dropping the gear..

I didn't get the 2nd pole down and fish on, strong fish and before it made the net it spit the hook and swam.. I tyed both rig's up with (2) hook, not sure it's needed ? In no time we had 2 in the cooler, (1) was a 14" R/B but sleek as a summer Steelhead ?

We skimmed the water for about 4 hours to get the 10 fish we came for. Man, we lost lost some real fat fish just short the net. 22-29 foot was the key for us. There was a guy in a 12 footer down around 35 foot and lost many many fish as well that we talked to..

The summer time water play was in full swing but never was a problem.. I'm really digging this kind of fishing. I do need some other kind of release though. Any hoo that's what we did today.

OH, Pink Wedding was the killer today, I"m going to get a few more..

Just FYI, A-9 saw about 75 Kings today, not as good as Friday but still decent numbers. 1 Fish per about every 4 boat. Good luck.

At least you got some fishing in. Ive launched out of everett with the navy a few times in there 24ft boats for a op test went out around hat and hit some bad weather coming back in. It can get rough out there quick. Ive also had calm weather on the humpy hollow side them came around the ferry at muk to head into everett and hit some rough water. The question it were is a good area to start in area 9 at the Bar? Back to the lake how was parking when you got there? About how deep were you fishing. Thanks for the report
