Last Day of the Kenai River King Run

Well here's the story, the winds blowing in the lower River , a cold one, so we stayed up river for the last 1/2 day on the River, we caught some other fish, but in the last 10 minutes of the season , we had seen this fish roll in the morning and wouldn't bite , then again at noon , I seen him roll again , he rolled a few minutes before we hooked him , and the battle was on, we shook that plug in front of his face till he just rolled right into it , hats off , to all the good fisherman that I had the pleasure fishing this 2007 season , its been a great season for Dad with their Daughters , and Dads with Sons and just the Family outing with the entire family , the true spirit of family still remains in the "Land of the Midnight Sun", see you in 2008 I have 12 days open for the season....................
I hope to see you then ..................Keep you tip up ,

Patelco Continue large fish run on Kenai River

Patelco always has a great run of fish to pick through, not this year , we had to wait for the fish , as the nets were in and getting more outside than we were getting up the river, we waited and waited then it happens , we worked for every bite the last few days , but the wait was worth it winning the big fish award for the last day a a good solid 45# Kenai King, Big Al ended up with his fish , we had other fish released but not hardly eating size ........we'll see you next year and will get a bigger one Greg...........good fishing boys

Bobby D Lavern's group, the girls are on fire

Well Ive had some great outings in the Pacific Northwest , and Alaska, but none will hardly ever top the day we landed all of our fish, and the girls both having Parkinson's disease, if there's a God, he gave those girls the strength for just a brief moment in time to stand toe to toe with a July strain Kenai King and win the battle , brings tears to my eye's now did then too , I gotten some proud moments over the years , but none as precious as the brief moments that the girls had this day....................

Montana boys are back and landing Kings

Ive fished these boys before and I'll say it again , if you needed a boat full of go getter's , you would have to look long and hard to find a better team of young men than these kids from Montana, always a smile , never any problems , but we did manage to break a Rod, and in the process caught some dandy Kings, cant wait till next year to see the kid's from Kalisbel Montana/

All hands on deck , we are catching more fish

My Favorite Martin

7/29/2005

Steve Martin's quest for the big fish every year always puts him in running, he always says it's got to be over 70# before its "in the box". Many fish were caught and released over the course of the 2005 season looking for the 100# King Salmon that would take us over the top, we didnt get the big bite we needed, we did see some fish in the 80# class, so we ended up the season with eleven fish in the 60# range and only one fish over 70#, we will continue our quest for that 100# pound Salmon in the 2006 Kenai River King Season, we hope to see you and yours there with us, give us a call lock your days in, if its your first trip on a river to seasoned pro, we would like to hear from you, keep your lines tight & thanks again for your support..........
