If you have been listening to the show, then you know that I have been itching to go tuna fishing. With 60 degree water showing up off our coast in mid June I was sure it was going to be an early year. Unfortunatley the albacore didn't show as early as the warm water. With a trip…
There have been some enormous king salmon hitting the docks here in Craig this past week with several in the mid 50's and at least two over 60 pounds being boated. That's right…over 60 pounds! One thing about fishing here in Southeast Alaska is that every time you drop the bait over the side it…
Well the trip to the middle grounds in the Gulf Of Mexico really paid off. After suffering through a week of high winds and thunderstorms down in Florida, a quick decision to extend the trip a few days and book a trip to the middle grounds assured me of coming home with a cooler…
Some call it a "pick", some call it a "grind", some call it "decent" and it all means the same thing. Times like this is when it pays off to know the grounds well and know what areas fish best on what tides. Oh, and a little luck doesn't hurt either! We've bounced all over…
Timing is everything, if it weren't for bad luck. The phrases that keep going through my head all start with something along these lines. I thought I would take a trip down to Florida and go after some of the variety of fish that are in these gulf waters. Last week the forecast was looking…
Last weeks salmon bite was absolutely wide open with great action on both silvers and king salmon. In three days of fishing we landed around 25 kings, 40 plus silvers, and god only knows how many chicken halibut. King salmon were biting at 120 feet, 60 feet, 25 feet, and as the guys were lifting…
I have always been the type of person to set goals and to have lists of things that I wanted to accomplish. Whenever I have thrown myself in to something I have gone all in. Fishing for me has been no different. Anyone that has seen the inside of my garage would agree with me. …
King salmon fishing continues to be decent here in Craig and the silver numbers continue to build here. The begginning of last week we were seeing 6 to 10 cohos a day and now the numbers are double that and we've had two full boat limits hit our dock the last two days. The two…
Each and every day we're seeing an improvement in the king salmon action here in Craig. The key to success lately has been the "stick and stay" program and we've been sticking to a deep troll lane off of Baker Island that has been producing king salmon all day long. We're mooching in anywhere from 200…
The list of chores is finally winding down and we're spending more time on the water in Craig. Today we peeled away from the charter fleet and did our own thing, finding hungry king and silver salmon away from the rest of the boats. With plenty of kings to the north in Sitka things should…
