Brandon's best friend was in town and we made arrangements to take him on a saltwater chart out of Seward for salmon and lingcod. Well, weather happens and plans changed! The charter company called us and said the saltwater was a no-go BUT they had space available on the Kenai River. The sockeye run was hitting and we got on down to Soldotna for a short but memorable trip!

Ahh the nostalgia. Made a trip in 2016 to salmon fish and I miss it to this day. Stayed right on the Kenai in some small cabins

@wanderblest Год назад

Aww love that!! The memories are even better than the fish-and the fish are pretty dang delicious 😋

Just found your channel and subbed! We are headed to the Kenai also!

Thanks so much!! Have a BLAST! We will probably be down there again fishing this weekend.

@@wanderblest we return today, it was slow at swiftwater campground, but tons of fun 😊. Good luck hope you catch your limits!

@johnblackie314 Год назад

Awesome, Congratulations on you all limiting out. Looked like a really great time. Did the charter clean and vacuum pack all your fish ? Keep on keeping on. Stay Safe !

@wanderblest Год назад

Hey, John! It was an awesome time! They did all the cleaning and vacuum sealing-quite the treat! We just smoked some of this batch last weekend, it turned out sooo good 😋

This was an awesome trip!! Excited for salmon this summer 🤞🏼🎣

@Steve-rr3gc Год назад

Was there last year, didn’t do nearly as good. Going back in July , this could be a yearly trip. Did you have just mono line on or did you have fly line

@wanderblest Год назад

Hi, Steve! Thanks for watching and commenting. To be honest, since we were using the guide’s stuff I don’t remember, it may very well have just been mono. Best of luck in July!!

@Steve-rr3gc Год назад

thank you for the reply. Last year we loaded fly reels with straight mono(fluorocarbon). This year I didn’t know if I was going to take off backing and fly line, kinda of a hassle

@wanderblest Год назад

Update-we went again this year with our own gear. We used backing and mono. How did your trip go?

@Steve-rr3gc Год назад

@@wanderblest so this year I left the fly line on and just add extra long leader of fluorocarbon line. I’m glad I did it that way cause the week we were there the salmon weren’t running. 80,000 below last year total and daily numbers as low as 2,800. By midweek I shortened the leader and started to fish for rainbows,grayling and pinks. Did well , no sockeye(can’t catch what’s not there) but caught other fish.
