Last night found me starting out the 2005 season a a good note!!

A regular guest from Anchorage brought his daughter and a bunch of gals from Cali down for a Kasilof float trip.

We, of course, started out with the "nice" new launch ramp (I'm not sure this will make things run smoother, we'll see!):



A few tried & true as well as a couple of new kwikie colors wrapped and ready to be chomped!!



Would the gals have the lady luck and start us off for the year? Of course!!



Carrying an "extra fin", so today, this one goes back!



Doug tries to score for the fellas ... he hams it up for the camera while the gals waych the fish motor around well downstream!



This one too was carrying an extra fin, so a quick pic and away she goes!!



Melissa pops our first clipped fish of the year, springer, AK style, yummy!!



And "E-power" (use your imagination fellas, women have ... ?) takes over with these two keepers hiting the deck within a couple of minutes of one another.



All in all, pretty good fishing for quite early in the run ... we boated 8 kings, had hold of 5-6 more ... a good start to the year on May 20.

Let's hope it just keeps building as it should!!
