July 1st - Yes Bay Lodge Fishing Report

Turn-over day at the Lodge today with many of our guests leaving and more arriving this evening so it was a two boat day out fishing today. The weather caused a delay in getting started this morning with both boats getting away from the dock a few minutes later than normal, it was pretty chilly and windy with plenty of rain and the guests had to make sure they finished their hot breakfast before heading down to the dock, but once down the fishing and catching was on.

Both boats were able to fish away from the wind and seas but still had to deal with the chilly morning and rain, but it did not seem to matter much as the fish could not feel the cold, until they felt the cold steel of the hooks which were presented...

A good day of catching for both boats with a limit of Kings on both boats and some nice sized ones as well, with most over 20 pounds....add in an assortment of a few pinks and it was a good day of fishing...

On with the pics...

Oh and Slammer said he didn't sleep all day yesterday, he was at the dock for fish cleaning at Lunch and before dinner...and cleaned up his tackle box...

Last night he was up late playing Backgammon and ended up with a black eye, good story...seems the game fell off a shelf above his bed and hit him in the head as he was trying to sleep...so I guess he wasn't really "playing" backgammon...it was playing with him, he just didn't know it. Another Alaska fact that is probably not really a need to know...
