July 7th - Fishing Report

Weather change stayed with us today and it was cold and a little windy this morning and some very steady rain, thank goodness the wind died in the afternoon and the rain let up to a drizzle. The fishing was a little slower today, but if you stuck with it there were some fish to be had.

Some nice Kings hit the dock, some Chum Salmon a few nice halibut and some decent sized rock fish...

More people arrived yesterday and today so the Lodge is back to full.

Here are today's pictures:

July 6th - Fishing Report

A little weather change today - it was sunny this morning, then turned cooler and the wind came up right before lunch...a little lumpy out there which didn't help the fishing for some. But there are still some nice fish out there and a couple spots were HOT! A few nice Kings hit the dock today and some real nice halibut!

A number of people left today so less boats fishing, but more arrived today and the fleet will all be out tomorrow.

Here's today's Pictures:

July 4th - Fishing Report

Happy July 4th Everyone...we are all finished fishing for the day and anxiously waiting our great fireworks display...look for a few pictures later tonight ot tomorrow! The Chef also prepared our traditional BBQ this evening with some great BBQ Ribs, Chicken and fresh corn on the cob!! So Happy 4th Everyone and Happy Birthday America!

The weather was great today with fairly calm winds and no rain. Fishing for Kings was a little slow this morning and a little better this afternoon, but not fast and furious. Those who went the other direction managed some real nice catches of Chum salmon and a couple pinks.

Frank Starling wore himself out on a hundred plus pound halibut by length at 66 or so inches it is estimated at 148 pounds. Sadly it was just under the 68 inch limit so after all his hard work...it was released to be caught another day! A few minutes later he had a hard time reeling up 3 pound Pacific Cod! He was Worn OUT!

Here are today's pictures!



















Always a great day at Yes Bay!

July 1st - Fishing Report

The start of a new month began with a light load at the Lodge with the large group departing this morning. The weather was a little cooler and it rained on and off all day, but the winds stayed reasonable, a little more than the past couple days, but still very fishable.

Only 1 party fished this morning and 2 parties fished this afternoon. Still some nice Kings around and picking up more nice bright Chum Salmon as well.

Here are today's pictures!
