April 1, 2012

First Port Lions Lodge fishing report for the 2012 season. Captain Steve went out trolling for King Salmon on April 1. He evidently fooled a very nice King into taking the bait presented and wound up with a very nice fresh King Salmon dinner. From now up until approximately the middle of June is the best time of the season for catching trophy Kings. Our Kings feed around Kodiak Island all year and at this time the mature Kings are in a feeding frenzy preparing for their journey into the fresh water to spawn. This is time of the year that it is most possible to break the 50 lb mark and earn a trophy certificate from the state of Alaska.
