July 16th - Fishing Report

Only one boat fishing today we are between groups, so several people headed to town for some shopping, haircuts etc....it was a beautiful day today with bright sunshine and clear skies but some wind this afternoon, which caused a little lumpy ride home, but didn't seem to affect the fishing although the bite was in the afternoon, rumor has it the morning was slow...

Here is the picture of the day:



Now for something interesting...last night we had the Northern Lights around here and several of us stayed up to watch! I took a couple pictures...









A great day at Yes Bay!

Well the weather just does not get any better. Calm winds, slight overcast, warm and mostly sunny! Add to that some decent fishing and you have a day to remember!

Big John took some of the house staff (All girls - figure that one out) out this afternoon and they had a ball...and some first Kings were landed by the girls!!

Here are the pictures to prove it!

Good Job Heidi, Claire and Janna!!



The guests had a great day as well!





Always a FINE day at Yes Bay!

Well the weather cooperated another day today, it started out raining like cats and dogs this morning with rain fog as well, but no real wind. Then just about fishing time, the rain let up and it got progressively better all day!

The fishing for kings remained good as well plus an assortment of other fish a halibut or two and some very nice rock fish!

Here are today's pictures!

The weather stayed nice today with warm sunshine in the morning and a little bit of rainy drizzle this afternoon, but no wind. The good weather and bright skies slowed the King bite down a little today, but several nice ones managed to hit the dock today, those who put the time in were rewarded.

Chef Nicky took her day off and went out with Dewey and Slammer and they targeted Kings and managed a couple nice ones!

Here are the pics!

Days like this don't come along often up here! Bright blue skies, lots of sunshine and warm weather. Calm winds a wonderful day in SE Alaska!

Only a few boats out today - more guests arriving tomorrow, but we did have a few people from the Wilderness Discovery stop by for a morning of fishing and one young man landed a King that was almost as big as he was! He was pretty happy!

Pictures to prove his catch! And a smile to match!

July 11th - Fishing Report

Today was a beautiful summer day - bright sun and fairly warm all day and calm winds...made for a great day on the water, but that bright sun slows the fishing down, especially for salmon. Although we still had some nice fish hit the dock, just not too many boats fishing today with several groups of people leaving today!

Here are the pictures:

You could not have asked for a better weather day today! Light clouds, sunshine, very little wind and warm temperature.

Fish were biting, some nice Kings and a few Chum and some decent halibut and rock fish! It was great out there!

Some crew got to go fishing today with a lighter guest load!


Here are the pics to prove it!
Big John and Snapper Al took Al's Daughter Samantha out for a nice King. She nailed a decent one! They also got a nice halibut while trolling for salmon



Slice and I went out this afternoon for a couple hours!

July 9th - Fishing Report

Nice day out there most of the day until the wind came up a little in the afternoon which made the fishing a little tougher and the ride home a little bumpy.

Some real nice Kings hit the dock today several high 20 pounders and a couple 30 plus pounders a nice assortment of halibut and rock fish, some Chum Salmon and a few Pink Salmon.

Here are the pictures to prove it!





















A great day of fishing at Yes Bay!
