Just wondering if it is worth going ? is there any decent bank spots to fish for kings . the idiot that I used to go with was too much to take anymore , he thinks that if you go fishing in his boat that you should buy all the gas for the boat & truck, all the food, bait , plus give him half of what I catch, on top of that he is extremely rude to other boats and bankies. So if anyone knows of a spot where there is a chance to catch a king I would appreciate any info . Thanks.......

It's been really quiet on the Sky from what I've been hearing.

I took the first 2 weeks of June off and pummeled the crap outa the Sky. Fished 4am to 4-5pm every day. I was able to find a summer run almost everyday. Never hooked more than one a day however. I'd say things are extremely slow for this time of year, a little better than last year though. Im gonna take a few evenings and try to find a King or 2.

I too believe that fishery is very overrated. If you have a boat and work the slots with the right gear you will score. Banking it is a little tougher... Lotsa kings in the trap so far.
