The Jim Messenger party fishing aboard Story Teller with Captain James Baumann brought in the first silver salmon limit on June 23. After a morning of excellent king action, they’d gone offshore and gotten a limit of halibut. Upon returning to the salmon grounds, they came upon a big school of silvers and landed six each in short order. This action didn’t repeat until yesteday when limits and near limits were taken during a wild few hours in the afternoon. Is the run here to stay? I’m guessing yes. Stay tuned.
Great to hear the fishing is fantastic. Our neighbors are arriving today from Seattle – Don Gulden – so say hello and make sure your new deck hand, Lucas, works hard to get their limits! All the best – thinking of you from Wenatchee, WA where we continue to enjoy delicious fish caught in Sitka with you all last May.
