Cool I am gonna definitly be there

[Jerod]

I'm thinking of making a quick run down aroud the 10-12th of June. Would love to keep a king or two this year.

[Albradley]

As would I Since I havent had a king in years.

[coho slayer]

I'm tempted to wait until mid-July to early August to go this year, but then I don't want to lose out on my king. We got a lot of meat out of our one kept king last year, so it turned our 30 fish limit into meat that was more like 35-40 fish. But we had to work to get them, and we missed out on the supplemental....six of one, half dozen of the other. I do love starting the year with a bang, though, and those early June reds certainly do that.

When do you usually go, Al?

[Albradley]

Usually when I get time off but since Im not working this year I am free all summer lol...I am planning to go the second weekend of june,I am also hoping I can get a king this year since I havent smoked one in years.

[gr8fl]

That should be a great time to go. I'm planning on a repeat of last year by hitting the opener because I have other commitments the second weekend. I'd rather go when you guys are, but have to make do.

I'm wondering if this cold spring is going to keep the first run waiting in the Sound for things to warm up.

[Albradley]

I wanted to hit the opener as well but I promised my significant other to take her to tangle lakes that first weekend of june so im stuck there lol.It has been some wierd weather lately though,I hope it warms up soon.

gr8fl, with the horrible, inefficient, and frustrating new redesign of F&G's website, I have been unable to find the the EO order you listed. Will you please post the link?

[AKdreamn]

Never Mind

I'm not changing my stance on the new F&G website, but I will take some blame. I forgot that the Chitina Dipnet fishery is Interior, not Southcentral.
