The weather is much better today. The wind subsided to about ten knots from the southeast. The sea is less than three feet. The fishing is strong and most of our guests have their quota for the day and some returned early, others opted to stay out for catch and release.

The only issue our guests have is there are too many Coho. It is sometimes annoying as they have to be careful with their bait as they grab it as soon as you put it over the side. Still, a very nice problem to have.

It’s also been a great day for wildlife: a pod of killer whales was sighted in the early morning and another one around ten o’clock. This is always considered a nice treat.

We have three new halibut Masterfishermen today: George Rechner of AB caught a 125 lb. halibut, Eric Bruener caught a 123 pounder, and Andy Billings landed a 111 lb. hali.

We also have a few new members in the Captain’s Club:

• George Rechner of AB (30 lbs. Chinook)
• Theodore Faber of BC (58 lbs. Halibut)
• Hiro Kagiyama of CA (30 lbs. Chinook)
• Dean Pearson of WA (65 lbs. Halibut)
• Eric Bruener of WA (31 lbs. Chinook)
• Kyle Acohido of WA (50 lbs. Halibut)
• George Szczezynski of NH
• Demon Vickers of WA (50 lbs. Halibut)
• George Sargent of MN (97 lbs. Halibut)
• Tony Lupo of WA (77 lbs. Halibut)

Nice work, anglers.
