Alaska Fishing with Ron Buntrock

2009 the water year of high & low water & Kings

noreply@blogger.com (Boss) — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 23:06:00 +0000

We had a great season in 2009, we started off with low water and thought we might be fishing it all season not so , here came the rains and we had high water , not just high water flood stage water , we kept fishing and caught some nice Kings. The last two weeks of the season the water always had color but the temps were good and the fish were hitting, if the bait was right on there nose. June fishing brought some nice fish in for the whole month we caught fish almost everyday , with the tides, and we had a good carry over of Late June Kings to cover the first week in July while the big July late run fish began to show, we are looking forward to a great season in 2010 so get your vacations set and get on board for one of our fishing packages for June or July, give us a call on our toll free number @ 1-800-263-4351 and if we don't have the right package for you , we'll make up special, good luck and good fishing. My cell number in June and July in Alaska is 1-541-698-7475 24/7 leave a message and I'll get back to you, if we are fighting a Kenai King

Final wrap for the 2008 Kenai River King Season

noreply@blogger.com (Boss) — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 15:00:00 +0000

Let me say first to the clients that we fished this season , thank you , and thanks again for your support without you we could not provide the best services available on the Kenai. Also to all of our return clients that we have been fishing for years now, as well as into the generations of returns "hats off to you", we are pretty darn lucky to have great jobs where we get to follow Kings 9 months out of the year and provide services to folks like yourself. We have never tried to make these Kenai trips to get your fish and off the water, but just taking a little extra time during the day waiting for the right time on tide to hook that right fish. As with anything in life there always one thing the stands out. Might be a weather day, water condition, or a great photo, this picture taken by the boys at "Willie Boats" that provided us with the basic #1 tool ,our boats and it's accessory's. To some it might not be good enough for a cover on a magazine or most walls , but it does show, all the right stuff that brings the Kenai River Alaska to the front of the list. King Salmon, great Boats, the latest in fishing rods and reels, and clients with their love for the sport , I hope it never ends , We will see you in 2009, on one of the finest piece's of water in the world the Kenai River for the mighty King Salmon, give us a call and we'll make it happen for you and yours, see you soon and good fishing ..............

noreply@blogger.com (Boss) — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 14:36:00 +0000

Afternoon tide push, bouncing into it , fresh fish,, a little luck and see what you get , Tony and his wife, fought these fish with no problems, come to find out this wasn't her biggest fish in Alaska it fell short of that mark by 7 pounds, sunny day , tides and fresh fish , I just can add anymore to this the picture says it all, see you next year for some more hot action, good fishing to you guys............

More Kings come with July tides

noreply@blogger.com (Boss) — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 14:30:00 +0000

Just about as mint bright as you could order, the boys really kept some dandy's from the river today , it wasn't a ripper of a bite but we just fished and when they showed we picked them off one at a time , good choice of fish, the guys are the bouncing machine's and looking forward already to next year , with such great tides and good fish showing its just a matter of time till that fish of a lifetime shows , hats off boys and good fishing to the Christensen Group for such a fun day on the water in July

Donnie bought the Wife, Kids & Grand kids to the Kenai

noreply@blogger.com (Boss) — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 14:13:00 +0000

With the fishing heating up, and Don just returning from a week of fishing in Canada, at Great Salve at "ice-out" its going to be a tough road , to try and get some whopper's for the family. Let me tell you with Donnie and the Grand daughters in the boat , the action started out hot and always ended up hot , these girls took right to this King Salmon fishing like a duck to water, but by the time they landed there first one, we want more, rain or shine didn't slow the girls up , Ive have some fun times on the Kenai but its sure fun seeing folks with that first time enthusiasm as we seen for a couple of days in July, hats off and Kudo's to the girls on a job very well done, they ran around the boat when we had a fish on with the nets held high, a little scream once and awhile (the woman's sound) and all the rods layed in place, and even putting the fish with the bat to fish heaven, girls don't change and I'll hope to see you again with Grandpa Don and good luck

to all of you.....................

Week #2 for team Weyerhouser

noreply@blogger.com (Boss) — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 13:59:00 +0000

The fishing continued to get better with the water temps holding , levels remaining good, and plenty of good tides to bring those sought after late run Kenai Kings, we put together some great catches for the week and these are a few of the high lights, even the rain could not damping the spirts, of this great crew, Carl hand picked a great crew fro this 2nd week and the boys didn't let them down, we are already looking forward to next year and maybe Jose getting a bigger fish that him, also thanks for the nicest scale ever from the crew , happy trails boys and see you next year

July Kings hit the Kenai River a little late

noreply@blogger.com (Boss) — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 13:49:00 +0000

They showed a little late, this year , but just in time for the first week of the Weyerhouser group, with Peterson and Berkly rally the clients to some more great fishing on the Kenai River , this nice fish was caught pretty early in the day for Berkley to be keeping one, but it was just to good of a fish to roll back, Berkly and Alex were on there toes all week, and we had a special treat Alex brought his Ipod player with the built in speakers, trust me the fishing was good but during the slow time , "stairway to heaven " wasn't bad , it was 5 days of rock -n-roll oldies, and some great solid Kenai River Kings...............good job Berk

Lars Noren jr gets his first big Kenai King

noreply@blogger.com (Boss) — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 13:28:00 +0000

I could go on and on about this week of fishing , but this one picture says it all Little Lars got his first big Kenai King, and had plenty of couching, but that smile says it all . Over the years his Grandpa Doug has put 12 Kings on the wall , along with his Son Lars also, but to see the 3 generation of Noren's tackle the Kings on the Kenai goes unsaid. Lars Jr fought this fish from start to finish on a great tide push at "mud island" and ate one of the fancy painted "G-Spot" k-16 with a wrap, water conditions fell apart for the first super Tuesday in July , but there were fish to go around we just had to work extra hard to get the bites, these were carry over June fish that were still coming in July and there were plenty of them, see you guys next year on another ripping week of Kenai River Kings...........

well seasoned fisherman & fisherperson get-em

noreply@blogger.com (Boss) — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 13:15:00 +0000

Ray and wife are well seasoned fisherman, and do they like catching kings , there last trip up to Alaska wasn't as good as this one , and they really caught some nice fish in 2008 , the water conditions were still improving daily, and the catching was getting better, a great combination for Kenai Kings, these were some of the most solid slot fish of the season , and this is usually the week for the "big males " but they were still still a few weeks late till they showed , so there were plenty of large females to hunt down , looking for some great fishing without the crowds , June Kenai river Alaska that's the spot, slot limit on our fish is 46" to 55" have to be released but there is a tone of them under the slot , that will just about match wits with any seasoned vet on getting them to the boat , great June and good fishing to the Jennings it's always my pleasure..........

International Fisherman love Kenai Kings

noreply@blogger.com (Boss) — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 13:07:00 +0000

We had a great group from Mexico the last week of June, with water conditions being tough , but improving daily we made the most of it , everyone caught fish , but had to work for everyone indeed. The boys told stories of salt water adventures and the fight of their salt water fish, till the rods layed down on the Kenai , new set of stories, they loved catching Kenai Kings , and wouldn't these fish were ripping them up as usual the were are the hard strike bite , and that's all takes , you don't have to have a boat load you just need enough, hats off to you boys see you this fall up on the Coos, Ola to you and great fishing......

Rick Spear Group has good days on the Kenai

noreply@blogger.com (Boss) — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 12:59:00 +0000

Water conditions and fish counts continued to improve through the week , with a great ending , we caught some great fish , all under the slot , we didn't have any fish over the slot that were in the 50" range, but there were good amounts of fish in the 40" to 45" size group , Rick's team from Boeing did a great job , see you guys next year, when you get that "big-bird " done good fishing boys

Last Day of the Kenai River King Run

noreply@blogger.com (Boss) — Sun, 19 Aug 2007 17:59:00 +0000

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....................

noreply@blogger.com (Boss) — Sun, 19 Aug 2007 17:51:00 +0000

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

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

noreply@blogger.com (Boss) — Sun, 19 Aug 2007 17:33:00 +0000

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

Dale Earnhardt Jr, could be ............on the Kenai

noreply@blogger.com (Boss) — Sun, 19 Aug 2007 16:54:00 +0000

I thought it was when he introduce himself but he had to race that night, so he brought his Dad , Big Dave with him from Idaho, what a great team of fisherman this was , we had it going we had lots of fish for targets , and we were real selective on what we kept , giving water conditions and the perfect weather conditions along with some great tides , you just could not beat the days fishing on the lower river or the Kenai, "Hats of to Dale" what a great kid..............

The Hardy group , get some good tides on the Kenai

noreply@blogger.com (Boss) — Sun, 19 Aug 2007 16:45:00 +0000

Sandvik team up on Kenai Kings

noreply@blogger.com (Boss) — Sun, 19 Aug 2007 16:39:00 +0000

Water conditions change and so did the bite, but that didnt stop David and his Son from catching the Kings , we would have liked to hooked more , but we took some fine fish no the lease. Again the water conditions play a big part in the June fishery on the Kenai River, the counts continue to build with more fish everyday .......
