Went on a solo run this AM and was greeted with only a light haze and not the fog they predicted. Motored to the private lighthouse and set up in 80 FOW on a southeast troll at 6:15. The bite was short with only one king coming after the first 20 minutes. I have to think the fishing would've been better if I had been out earlier but I cannot complain as it was great to have a king scream out some line DR Speed: 2.1-2.3 Water Depth: 80-110 3 for 4 - 60' down - 2 clr SWR - 8" Opti Cracked Ice/Blue Mirage - Glow Fly 1 for 1 - Wire Diver 150 LOC #3 Set - 8" Green Spin Doctor - LBB 0 for 0 - 3 color Baby Spinny - Champagne Fly A beautiful morning on the pond and nice to be out. It sure was nice to turn OTTO I on when I was fighting a double solo

Nice work Mike. You are Mike King&Koho Killer Kamin, a salmon master in his own right. I bet it was fun out there. Me, I've been sitting here watching some new software run since around 1am - yawn...

Great catch and great job on a solo run! Am I reading that right? You took all fish in the first 20mins with the exception of 1? That had to be fun!

That is correct! The rigger fired after I set it (1st rod) and I lost that one. I put it back down, got the wire diver out and the rigger fired again. Once I landed that fish, I was letting out the 2 clr SWR and just about to hook it to the downrigger ball when the wire diver started bucking. I got the wire diver rod and then the rigger I had at the surface got smacked. It's fun solo
