ON SAT WE HAD MIKE MARTIN A REGULAR FOR OVER 20 YEARS WITH US. HE ALWAYS WANTS KINGS IN THE FALL. WE HEADED TO THE 68 DEGREE WATER AND THE ACTION WAS VERY HOT FOR A COUPLE HOURS. WE WERE NOT AS HOT GETTING THEM IN THE BOAT. WE HAD 26 STRIKES AND ONLY PUT 7 FISH IN THE BOAT IN THIS TIME. TWO OF THEM GOT OFF BECAUSE OF THE LINE GETTING BITE INTO, I DON”T KNOW WHY THE OTHERS GOT OFF. NOT A GOOD PERCENTAGE ON OUR PARTS. BUT AS MIKE SAID THERE WILL ALWAYS BE NEXT YEAR AND ANOTHER DAY ON THE WATER. CAPT BUSTER
