DetailsAugust 22 featured blue skies, calm water, and great silver action. On my boat, Albatross, we landed on a large school of silvers immediately.

DetailsWe are in the final stretch of the 2013 season – only two weeks left of fishing. Some of the signs are here, too. The silvers have started to move into the inside locations in larger numbers to spots like Icy Queen, The Shark Hole and Sinitsin. Silvers are still around in good numbers, with…
DetailsSitka is a great place to fish – lots of hook ups, lots of big salmon, lots of blistering runs – all great stuff for the fisherman and all very hard on reels. Add saltwater, exposure to the elements, and less experienced anglers who work the reels and themselves much harder than necessary, and you…

DetailsObservation: There is no evidence in nature that testosterone enhances intelligence. Witness the big horn sheep banging heads, elk locking horns, the beach master elephant seals bloodying each other. We humans aren’t exempt. The recent spate of TV ads make no suggestion that boosting your low T will make you a better Jeopardy contestant. It’s…
DetailsAt the risk of sounding repetitive, the 2013 season continues to amaze one and all who fish with Angling Unlimited.

DetailsThe fishing and the weather remains about as good as it gets with daily limits of silvers and lots of husky kings including the 48-pounder landed by Tom Fulton on July 22. Add chum and pink salmon to the mix and there can be hours when nearly every bait that goes down seems to get…

Even better, the ocean laid down the past two days and the fishing has been absolutely on fire. Limits of kings, silvers, and halibut – often by late morning – have been the rule. The action…
