Fishing remains absolutely spectacular with great catches of kings, silvers, halibut, lingcod and rockfish. Yesterday, Dale Hutson, fishing with Captain Chuck, landed a 40 pound king. Today (Friday) the Dan Hayes group fishing with Captain Chuck and yours truly had limits of silvers and kings by 10 AM. Captain Chuck’s crew went out for halibut, landing a limit, then got limits of rockfish and ling. My group decided for a peaceful lunch break, then went out and got some yelloweye and lingcod before heading home. The Ron Olson group fishing with Captain Phil enjoyed similar results as did the Dick Newton group fishign with Captiain Ben. In fact, all the boats enjoyed great action today as has been the case for nearly two weeks running. It’s what make Sitka a great fishing destination – it’s consistentent at a very high level.
