13.35 lb King Salmon on Scorpion Spinner

Water temps down to 67° and allot less weeds in the water than a few days ago. We started off trolling the incoming tide and hooked up on the first 2 passes. We ran 2 more passes and headed further downstream. We managed to hook another one that made it right next to the boat and popped off right before we could get the net under it. The size of the last one was easily past 20 pounds. Our first 2 fish were 5 and 10 pounds each. The cooler weather is coming, the water temps are still coming down. We still have about 2 months left of this Fall Salmon season and would be happy to have you out for a day on the boat.

Water temps are still warm in our area. Just under 69° today and the weather is still hot out pushing 100°. We managed to hook up a 24.8 pound king salmon on our half day trip on the river today. There are fresh fish moving in every day, and once the water temps start falling even more, the bite will continue to improve.

Started out the morning on the outgoing tide ending it's run. Dropped 4 rods into troll scorpion salmon spinners and as I was dropping the 4th rod in, as soon as it hit the bottom, fish on! First fish was over 9 pounds and came into the net quickly. We reset after finishing the troll pattern and ran another upstream set. Same color lures, same upstream troll and boom! Second fish on for the morning. 21 plus pound king salmon to the net. We ran another couple troll lines and ended the 4 hours on the water with just over 30 lbs for the 2 fish. Guests today and myself had prior afternoon commitments, so we all had to head back to land. Water temps about 67° in Rio Vista area of the Sacramento River today. With the continued temps falling and full moon approaching, we should be seeing more of these big fish move into the system.
