Again, robbed of our limit but can't complain too much as it was a very active morning.

We started at 4:30 and had our first king in the boat by 5:15. It got so active that we couldn't get both lines down before the other was getting hit, but got 3 more on line and almost to the boat before they got off (damned barbless hooks!). Then it turned to coho and we had 2 in the boat before 7am, one REALLY big one (almost as big as the king), but then couldn't keep any more even though we kept hooking both hatchery and residents.

Went to deeper water in search of our last king but the bite was off (except for the silvers). Finally threw in the towel at about 11am.
