June 18th Yes Bay Lodge Fishing Report

Today was better for my boat at least, but still spotty fishing although there are kings out there and if you get the bait in front of them they will bite, it just takes time and patience and lots of trolling to get the bait in front of a fish...after all it is fishing and with the beautiful scenery we have and today is was flat calm and very nice so the conditions were perfect and a few kings were caught a couple halibut and an assortment of rock fish...so there are pictures, in no particular order, although most every one had guests today we had some nice walk-ins from some visiting yachts...

On with the pics...

First our gardeners from Ketchikan came out to plant some wonderful flowers and some herbs in the greenhouse and get the flower pots going for the deck...then went fishing!! Who can blame them....



The one of the visiting yacht people aboard the Changes in Latitude landed a nice halibut and promise to feed the rest of the flotilla, since they didn't fare quite as well...this is the Fitzsimmons party with guide Jeff Bortz...



And now, yes everyone was surprised after my last two days of being skunked, but the O'Connell party managed a nice King today weighing about 18 pounds or so...



And another after I jumped in the pic...



The afternoon we didn't fare as well, but I forced Heidi to get her picture taken with her rock fish...(I'll do almost anything to get my picture taken with a pretty lady!!) We did manage to release a couple nice bright shakers (undersized Kings)...so it wasn't a total loss in the afternoon...



The Richens party had a good day with Captain Sean Falconer...



Nice King...27.9 pounds!!




Another fine day of fishing, catching and relaxing at beautiful Yes Bay Lodge in SE Alaska!!
