Go get'em Bob. and good luck on those Silvers. I will await your report. I wasn't able to fish northern B.C. this season because of their Covid-19 restrictions.

Who is your guide?...My wife and I and another couple fished out of Sitka for a week around the 24th of July. It was awesome and we brought home a LOT of fish! Halibut, Salmon (Kings/Silvers/Pinks), Rockfish, Black Bass, etc.
It was easy to get up each morning (we were launching at 5: a.m. each morning) due to the 2 hour time change difference...5 a.m. in Sitka is 7 a.m. here! But we also went to bed early each night, at about 7 or 8 their time...and it stays light till about 11 p.m.!!!!
I guess there is a tradition there that one must partake of (part of) the heart of your first King Salmon ever caught...since this was our first time there, it was the first King for both myself and my wife. I did the ritual with no problem...but didn't think my wife would do it. Somehow the guide got her to do it and I've got a great video of that! It's big though so not sure how to post it...Anyway, we had a great time, you will too!
Looking forward to report and pictures!

Coho are a lot of fun. We were off the coast of Washington last week fishing for them. Nice to return after it was closed last year due to COVID-19. It's weird over there, though, if you go too far offshore they look funny.

Today was the last day. Limited our silvers, rockfish, & halibut by Noon. It was cold, wet, and windy making it miserable to be out in it. But we got 'er done! Be home tomorrow. Great lodge (Kains Fishing), great food, and EXCELLENT boat Captain & first mate.

Got home about 11 PM last night. Had 2 boxes of fillets to bring back as luggage. $30 for the 1st box & 40 for the 2nd box. Lucked out with Alaska Air; they offered a First Class upgrade for $42 that included 2 free bags in the hold. ? Jumped on it. Nice seat, early bording, free meal, free luggage. Works for me.

What a deal, good to hear you made it back safely. How much did the fillets weigh?
