July 26th - Blue Skies, Sunshine and the fishing slows...

Today was a tougher day of fishing for salmon. The sunshine came out and it was a beautiful day, but the salmon bite was OFF! We managed a decent assortment of salmon, some nice bright pinks and a couple chum salmon, but it took all day. So we didn't get a real chance to bottom fish.


Only three guest boats fished today, a couple guides went out and pounded the bottom for a couple nice halibut, one guest boat went off on a picture taking adventure and once boat bragged about the "Big one that got away", sadly had a nice big halibut break off right at the boat...

So, not many pictures today...

Here are Kicker and Batman with their halibuts!



For those who don't know - Kicker is the ugly one on the left!!
