Sunday August 23rd, 2009 – Fishing Report
The fishing had a few twists today…the little guys beat the big guys! The morning was a little slow for salmon fishing, but some nice fish came in to the dock, while everyone was hanging fish a taking pictures, the radio crackled from one of our boats who was at the mouth of Yes Bay fishing for rock fish with a couple of our young guests…you guessed it, major halibut hooks on to a salmon rod with 20 pound test line!! We will be a little late coming in!! After a long struggle,. Several up and downs they managed to get it in the boat and head for the dock…lo and behold it weighed in at 97 plus pounds, way more than the little guy who hooked it and more than his partner who helped him reel it up…several times!! Great adventure!!
The afternoon was just plain slow fishing, the extreme tides and a bunch of wind limited where we could fish and probably drove the fish down deep to stay out of the strong current. A couple boats managed a few salmon and a couple nice small halibut hit the dock…
Great day of fishing at Yes Bay Lodge in SE Alaska,
Enjoy the pictures…
