Sitka Fishing Report 8/2: Kennedy Party

The Kennedy party began their trip at the Cape with Captain Chuck and Captain Tom. They bounced around from the gravel to the hourglass to deep west structure to locate their salmon. Although they found silvers at each spot, the bite slowed down, so Chuck took his group halibut fishing offshore to change the energy. They…

Tufted Puffin

Last week, we asked the question of how fast a puffin can fly and how many times they can flap their wings per minute. These birds aren’t built for speed, but surprisingly, these little birds top out at 55 miles per hour. They also flap their wings at a rate of 400 times per minute.

To put their flying ability into perspective, the average duck reaches flight speeds of 70 miles per hour, but only needs to flap its wings 180 times a minute to do so.

A puffin’s main talent is swimming. These birds can dive to depths of 200 feet, holding their breathe for nearly a minute, and fit over 10 little fish in their mouth at once!

Here’s a video of their swimming talent in action. Thanks to everyone who participated in last week’s trivia. Stay tuned for tomorrow’s question to test your fish identification knowledge.

Collin’s Big King

On a recent day off, the sun was shining and the ocean calm. The few crew who had a day off couldn’t pass up a chance to fish. Captain Tom took Captain Bo, Deckhands Jack and Collin, and his daughter Evelyn to the Cape for an afternoon of king fishing. Not only did they catch their limit, but Collin bagged this 52-pound monster! It took his bait on the way down and once Collin tightened up to it, it screamed off 300 feet of line on the first run. He battled the fish for a half hour before Captain Bo scooped it into the net. To top it off, once they cut the first fillet, they discovered that it was a white-king! It was a memorable day on the water and we’re fairly certain that Collin still has a grin on his face.

Last week we asked the question of how far a halibut travels for their winter spawning migration. The furthest distance on record that a halibut migrated was 2,500 miles! That halibut was tagged near Atka Island in the Aleutian Islands and recaptured at Coos Bay, Oregon. Typically, halibut don’t travel this far. They have summer feeding grounds in…
