September 13th - Perfect Day!!

The weather continues to astound everyone, with bright blue clear skies, warm temperature, calm seas and virtually no wind. People are actually complaining about getting sunburned, unheard of for September.

The morning salmon bite was fantastic, most boats had their limit of nice big silvers well before lunch and then spent the afternoon looking for Kings or halibut and other bottom fish.

Here are today's catch pictures!

September 12th - Another Perfect Day!

The weather was beautiful again today although we did get a little wind this afternoon, but nothing bad. The fishing was fantastic, especially this morning with plenty of silvers around, the afternoon bite slowed a bit, but there were still fish around for those who stuck with it.

Crew hit a home run today with a 181.1 pound halibut hitting the dock and several nice silvers by the Hack girls!

Here are today's catch pictures...

Crew first!

September 11 - Perfect Day!!

It just does not get much better than today, good fishing and fantastic weather, calm winds, very calm seas, blue skies and sunshine and warm, add to that a strong and steady Silver salmon bite as well as some nice bottom fishing and you have a day to remember.

Speaking of remember, I hope everyone will take a moment and remember those who perished on this day 9 years ago! God rest their souls and we will NEVER forget!

Anyway, perfect day - Perfect for fish pictures...

September 9th - Fall Arrived Again!

Well we had a weather change today - no fog this morning, clear and a little windy and rainy, with some rougher seas, but fantastic silver fishing with most boats getting their limit of silvers well before lunch, then spent the afternoon looking for bottom fish and Kings, or sightseeing and staying at the Lodge by the fire out of the rain and wind!

Here are today's catch pictures!

September 8th - Another foggy morning and great weather!

The salmon bite was pretty strong this morning with most boats getting their limit early. The silvers are here en-mass and offer some great excitement and fast fishing.

Several Kings hit the dock today including a couple over 20 pounds, so the feeder kings are still around, but there has to be a little luck to hit them at the right time and location!

A couple nice halibut hit the dock including a real nice 101 pounder right near the Lodge by some crew fishing.

Here are today's pictures...
