Alaska Fishing Report

Alaska Fishing Report

The Alaska fishing season is still going strong, the king season ended july 31st with a bang with one of our clients from fargo landing a 81lb kenai river king salmon, we had several other kings from 50-66lbs this season also.

Halibut has been very consistent with limit catchs every trip except one average weights have been 25-70lbs, august has started very well with lots of silver salmon in the Kenai river along with the remote fly out streams and out in the saltwater.

On sunday august 9th we had one of our best days in 21 years with long time client dale buckner from Texas, we went on an super long range trip 70 miles out to gore point in the gulf of Alaska, we caught over 60 fish of 5 different species in 4 hours of fishing. we kept 47 fish with 4 ling cod up to 44lbs, 10 yelloweye snapper, 15 black sea bass, 12 silver salmon, and 7 halibut, with a total weight of 549lbs. One drift we had all 5 anglers hooked up with 4 different species with 2
yellow eye, 1 ling cod, 1 black bass, & 1 silver salmon.

Attached are some photos, there still is little time left to get to alaska before we shut down for the season, also is that time of year to start planning a fishing adventure to Costa Rica.
