Reel Reports

Trophy Kings showing up at King Salmon Resort, Riv

King Salmon Resort - July 27, 2002
 

At 7am, about 18 boats were mooching along the shoreline at Marker 16 in Rivers Inlet.  Lines were out and anglers were settled in, enjoying a cup of coffee and the early morning quiet of this beautiful spot.  As often happens, the stillness was broken by a screaming reel and then another - the bite was on!  After several hours of adrenaline rushes and high-fives, over half the King Salmon guests returned to the dock with big smiles and even bigger fish! Many 40+ pound King salmon hit the scales and then came the grand-daddy of the trip - a beautiful 66 lb King salmon caught by Siegfried Appelt from California. Trophy King salmon fishing is definitely on fire at the King Salmon Resort in Rivers Inlet.
