Hey folks, I’m back with some tales from the great silver north.
Some of the best fishing of the season continued today with most boats either limiting or coming close to limiting on salmon. There are some big Chinook around with over a dozen Tyees coming in today. Jim and Shirley Ruble had a great day with Chinooks numbering 39, 30, 25 and 20 lbs. I managed to nail a 30 and my biggest of the season, a 44 pounder off of Andrews Point while fishmaster Ken got in on the action with a load of guests and nailed a 32. I still need to show you guys I know what I’m doing, eh!
McPherson, Andrews and Cohoe all produced fish equally today, with 50 pulls being the magic number. Bruin Bay showed off it’s ability to produce big fish with a 47 and a 38 coming from my favorite bay yesterday while fishing shallow in the kelp. I believe these big ones are some of the monsters bound for Rivers Inlet so get ready King Salmon! Although this group has been confined do to some poor weather it looks like all are likely to limit on salmon with half of those being Chinooks.
Phil Garrett nailed a 106 lb. hali off of Thromb Point in 240 feet of water making it the 5th 100 lb. plus hali this week from our new hotspot. This is Langara at it’s best!
See you soon.
High tension lines,
