I have not been able to post for awhile. The Silvers are moving up the river now, and the pinks are still in the way. The pink run this year is well over a million strong. They have become more of a hassle than they are worth. Every cast in the river now, is a snagged pink. You can’t avoid them for nothing. I hate them this year. While trying to catch Silvers, you have to pick through about 20 pinks for every one Silver. There is a reprieve in site though, the lower river is full of bright Silvers, and they are starting to fill up in the upper holes. Should only be another week until tI have not been able to post for awhile. The Silvers are moving up the river now, and the pinks are still in the way.

Should only be another week until the pinks start to die off, and then we can really get serious about the Silvers. I have had about 15 trips now for Silvers, and have been able to get limits every time. I got some great video’s of the pinks and some great pics of the Silver fishing. Also some pics of the bears this year, and an early Steelhead that took a spinner. Hope you like them!

Silvers and Halibut galore!!!  The Salt water has really come to life this season, and the Silvers are practically jumping in the boat. I was out yesterday with captain Ken, captain Dave, and Amanda. We spent less than 2 hours fishing, and we were able to land 16 Silvers, two halibut, and 2 Ling cod. Not bad for 2 hours, including run time to and from the area. Here in Yakutat, the Silver grounds are only 10 minutes from the harbor. In this area, even the people who are prone to sea sickness, can get out and fish. I am one of those that gets sick, and I have been out for Silvers now 7 times with no ill effects. I still don’t think I could do the 6 miles out for the big Halibut, but the Silvers are no problem. Weather has been beautiful for the last couple of days, so we are taking advantage of it. The Silver salmon are here from the end of July, all the way through mid Sept. If you have been looking for a place to go for Silver Salmon with out a big crowd, come on up to Yakutat Lodge and see what you are missing. Here are some great pics of the ocean catch over the last week, and also a video of the Silvers we caught yesterday.

This halibut weight in right around 42 pounds, (Even though the sign says 327), and was 93 inches long. Great job captain Dave!!

Good luck out there
