What is a Salmon Shark?

We get asked this question often as “salmon shark” must be a name for something else. The answer is simple: a salmon shark is a salmon shark. Unlike many fish, it goes by only one name. Clearly, not many people have heard of this highly evolved predator that preys heavily on, you guessed it, salmon. This species…

Angling Unlimited’s Fishing Style – Mooching

Each day on the water our guests experience the thrill and productivity of mooching. We take pride in ensuring our method is hands-on for our clients. With nearly zero involvement from us, our anglers experience the excitement of casting, feeling the bite, hooking the fish, fighting the fish, and reeling it to the boat. It’s a style based on finesse and it’s easy to learn. 

In our latest video, Captain Tom shares his thoughts on mooching and the satisfaction our anglers experience with this method. As many will attest, mooching delivers a unique experience compared to other salmon techniques. Do you agree/disagree? We’d love to hear it!

Halibut 101 – Pattern (aka scent trail)

My halibut career began in Neah Bay, Washington where we targeted very precise locations with herring baits on spreader bars or with jigs that weren’t tipped with any bait at all. We drifted through our spots and the halibut bite tended to turn on in response to specific tidal phases. Location meant everything. The offshore…
