Updates on the 2020 Season: June 8th, 2020

Our season began on Sunday the 7th of June with 4 boats out. Kings, halibut, rockfish, and a few lingcod made it into the catches. The weather was slightly unsettled – gray, a bit of drizzle and a little bit of lump on the ocean. The bite was spotty but most of the anglers managed…

New Decade

Hard to imagine we’re about to hit the 2020s. Our outlook for the coming summer is positive for king salmon. The kings were more abundant and bigger in 2019. The commercial trollers had a good fall of king fishing off Sitka which is about the best predictor for abundance in the following year. We see…

Final Report of 2019 Season – Saving the Best for Last September offers the widest range of possibilities in Sitka. We’ve seen it all from hard rain, wind and tough fishing to solid action under a cool blue sky. What we saw on September 10 extended the upper limit of that range. The morning dawned…

Sitka Fishing Report: September 9, 2019

The past week brought the biggest silvers of the year and a decent shot at kings. After a slowish day of silver fishing on September 1, we experienced a southeast blow with heavy rain on the 2nd which brought excellent silver fishing along with some kings. It was rough, the drift was fast, but the…

Sitka Fishing Report: August 28, 2019

Silver fishing is coming into late season form.  The numbers range from good to excellent and the size occasionally reaches the high teens. For the uninitiated, silvers reach a critical mass at somewhere between 10 and 12 pounds at which point they go from swirling and thrashing their way fairly quickly to the net to…

Abundance Based Management

Our guests often wonder how in the world our regulations get set, so we’ll start with step one. Abundance based management is a means of establishing harvest levels based on the current abundance of each species.

July 2019 Fishing Report Card

Sitka Fishing Report: August 2, 2019

Fishing in the last 10 days of July was good for kings and very spotty for silvers. As our season progresses, the emphasis become more and more on silvers and right now we’re wondering when they will make their way onshore in good numbers. The best silver action has been offshore in 300 to 400…

Sitka Fishing Report: June 19, 2019

King fishing took an unexpected dip in the second week of June. It wasn’t totally bleak, but it got to be very hit or miss. On any given day, some of the boats would get limits while others struggled to get one. The general pattern is steadily building numbers of kings in mid-June. Thankfully, we’ve…
