Sitka Fishing Report, July 8, 2022

July 8, 2022Leave a commentCaptain Tom's Fishing ReportBy Captain Tom Ohaus
Men holding salmon

Apologies for a bit of a lapse in reports. Since the last entry on June 22 we saw an unexpected dip in
salmon fishing for the very end of the month and the beginning of July. Kings grew scarce, coho were
sporadic and mostly sparse. The halibut fishing remained a bright light – extremely fast. The downward
struggle wasn’t a complete bust – if you were lucky enough to see a school of kings swim under the
boat, you could light it up big time. But it was a bit of a grind until July 7 when larger schools of silvers
showed up at Cape Edgecumbe and more kings moved into the usual locations on the west side of
Kruzof. We’re hoping this is the trend to come – lots of silvers, good kings mixed in, and excellent halibut
fishing. The ocean has been mostly calm with exceptionally low swell. A bit of a blow, the first we’ve
seen in a month, is forecast to come in Sunday and Monday. This weather change will make the ocean
rougher but it could also bring in more silvers. We’ll get back to you on that in the next report.

 

Note: King salmon regulations have been modified by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.

Revised 2022 Regional King Salmon Sport Fishing Regulations

  • The nonresident bag limit is one king salmon, 28 inches or greater in length;
  • From July 1 through July 15, the nonresident annual harvest limit is two king salmon, 28
    inches or greater in length
  • From July 16 through December 31, the nonresident annual harvest limit is one king salmon,
    28 inches or greater in length
