Snooker Kings

ANGLER: FishonBruceAK
TRIP DATE: 6/2
REGION: Anchorage
WATER: Ship Creek
SPECIES: Snooker Kings
REPORT: Ran into a new species of fish on Ship Creek. Its called the snooker King. Just about when you are going to call it quits, the snooker king will come and take a swipe at your eggs. No hook up of course, but just enough of a hit to snooker you into fishing for another half hour or so. I fished near the mouth at high tide on Monday night. About an hour after the change my bobber and a buddy's took a ride. We both went for the set and saw a nice king splash, but no hookup. His eggs were intact, mine were all but gone. We got snookered. Our action was the only excitement we saw all night long, other than watching another buddy falling (literally) prey to creek crossing along the grassy flats. At least he was wearing waders. On another note, I think I'll buy stock in a surgical glove factory. Those latex wonders are quite the hit at Ship, particularly when they are stained a nice shade of blotchy egg dye pink. Fish On!!
