(Chinook) Alaska King salmon fishing on the Kenai River gives you a good shot at a world record! The Kenai Peninsula has many rivers that have thousands of King Salmon (also known as Chinook) entering them every year. The Kenai River holds 8 out of the top 10 record King salmon in the world, with the world record being 97.4 lbs. With a world record set at nearly 100 pounds, you can see why so many people are interested in Alaska King salmon fishing on the Kenai River. When fishing for king salmon, the majority of the fish averaging 30 to 50 lbs. The Kenai King salmon are some of the hardest fighting fish in the world. They make for a great story long after your done with your Alaska King salmon fishing trip. Plan on fighting one of these massive wildlife fish anywhere from a half hour to an hour when in the tidal waters. The methods that we use for Alaska King salmon fishing are back-trolling and back-bouncing. Both of these methods are very effective for catching monster fish and are easy to learn with your guide Nathanael Motes. King salmon have two different times they enter the Kenai River. The first run starts at the beginning of May and finishes at the end of June. The second run begins the first part of July and runs through the middle of August. The Alaskan Department of Fish & Game will close the season down for king salmon on the last day of July. When you are Alaska King salmon fishing for massive Kings, keep one thing in mind: the fishing guide that you’re with deals with these fish everyday and knows what that fish is going to do before you do. It is always good to listen to everything that Captain Motes tells you, when he gives you instructions.
ONE OF THE KENAI'S EXCELLENT GUIDES AND A GOOD FRIEND LANDED THIS MONSTER on 5/30/2021
Our boats seat 4 anglers comfortably, with the Motes at the helm of the powerboat. Techniques change daily based on a number of factors of course, but typically your guide will move from spot to spot, slowly backing downstream as you and your fellow anglers cast towards shore with lightweight spinning rods or backtroll. We may be drifting gear, or picking spots and working the casts as we hold still or anchor. We also target the Silver Salmon with fly rods and jigs. Often, we’ll travel up and down the river, seeking the fish and when we find a good group of fresh fish moving upstream the action will be sweet! Early season fish move upstream mostly during the morning and evening hours, so the mornings are especially exciting- however the fish can be notoriously unpredictable, and every strike is pulse quickening.
