[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

So awesome to hear that! I sure hope Vinny and I are still filling stringers in 40 years!

[@MaxKobuk]

Awesome video! Appreciate the info and action!

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

Oh for sure! Gotta get out there and get some!

[@johnwebster1038]

Cant wait for some Russian and Kenai river sockeye updates. LOVE this channel

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

Yea, I’m on it! The Russian is packed full already and the ADFG is doubling the limit this Sunday June 18 to 6 per day!

[@johnwebster1038]

Hoping that this bodes well for the July sockeye run as would love to get that 6 fish limit then. Tight lines Ryan and Vinnie

[@Kdawg101]

Great video ! Hope to check out the area sometime!

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

Ninilchik is a cool, sleepy little fishing town. Right in between Homer and Soldotna. Definitely check it out if you’re coming through!😎🐟 thanks for watching!

[@brianwatson6607]

Let’s get together and fish for kings always wanted to try that river

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

It’s a pretty sweet river to fish that’s for sure. Fishing the harbor and mouth area an hour after the high tide is primo!

[@JigginwithG]

Hell yeah buddy! 🐟🐟

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

Time to go! 😎🎣

[@JigginwithG]

@@alaskasmallcraftadventures I’ll be there end of July buddy 😎 no king action there near soldotna? They are here in Oregon all over 🐟🐟

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

They are going as far as shutting down some of the personal sett netting (Kasilof) to try and get some Kings to return home. It's looking real slim in any of the rivers for wild Kings, including Soldotna area. Most of the saltwater is shut down North of Homer for King trolling as well.

05:25 A really fresh king salmon. Interesting to learn that king salmon fishing is open only for a few days a year.

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

yea the fishery gets hit pretty hard to really allow any more days on it. They are pretty fish though.

[@thehotshot0167]

Right when I was thinking its fishing time, better review the regs, get license and of course youtube it on, your video popped on up!

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

Always ask the algorithm! Awesome that you’re gettin out there, it’s time! Seriously can’t believe it’s almost solstice..

[@gregburlile1757]

Just found your channel, loving the videos man

Great to hear! appreciate the motivation to keep on making them! Thank you 🎣

"almost a king".....so like a prince? 🤣

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

😝 jack!

[@sethmiller3869]

@@alaskasmallcraftadventures species does not change based on size. Its possible to catch a 10in king (chinook). I think you were relating it to bag limit in the video.

[@edwardungott7328]

Try using a centerpin

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

If you have an extra one I’d be glad to borrow it!

[@jadengarner1673]

Also 2 hathcher per day.

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

Yea, get that extra one on these hatchery kings!

[@chrisburgess6964]

Need to keep the jacks they are the best eating

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

oh no doubt! usually we bring them home but in this instance we couldn't be sure if it was under 20in. didn't want to count such a small king against the harvest record. Measuring next time!

[@mitchnippert5011]

Watch out for bears

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

Always! It’s wild how a 600lb beast can be completely silent walking around the riverside looking for fish too!

[@Steve-rr3gc]

Where did you get those ugly sticks? They’re probably older, if they still sell them

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

Those bad boys are sold at Trustworthy hardware in Soldotna. First come, first serve it seems they sell out quick. You’re right about them being several years old now.

[@Steve-rr3gc]

@@alaskasmallcraftadventures thanks, my brother wants to buy a 10 weight when we get up there and the bigger box store didn’t have any.

@@alaskasmallcraftadventures so I called trust worthy today. Spoke to manager. She knew her $ hit. 10 wt rods aren’t made anymore, 9wt in stock. Told her you made the recommendation-look for your cut in the mail. Lol-seriously you should get them as a sponsor

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

Nice! That’s awesome. They’re a pretty solid local shop. That’s not a bad idea to see if they’d want some additional advertising…

aye bro respect for fishing but please pleaseee stop giving spots up like this.

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

Were fishing a public access parking lot right off the highway.

@@alaskasmallcraftadventures i get it, but showing everything for it and all that stuff. I know your just trying to help people catch fish and all. respect for that. but are kings are going away pretty fast even with hatchery’s. and getting crowded sucks especially on a small local river. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Spot Burning for likes

[@alaskasmallcraftadventures]

How does one “burn” a state park public access facility that’s been open for decades? I’ll just have to assume your laughable comment is for likes.

[@mudjerry]

Exactly. Just wants to be a make believe celeb at the expense of fishin spots
