Our boats are having continuous success heading south for halibut, kings, rockfish, and now – silvers! The cape has been solid all season. Most boats are finding that the majority of their limits are caught while mooching at the Cape. Some are having success with anchoring and others are finding that drifting is best. Our clients…
The final week of our season was the best it’s ever been. We ran six boats on September 9 for the first time in our history and ended on the 10th with three boats. We were fortunate to hit a favorable stretch of weather that allowed us to fish the open ocean wherever we pleased. Most groups experienced…
In our last report, we announced the arrival of big cohos. Since then, the fishing only picked up and the cohos grew to trophy size. The average size coho is above ten pounds and we’ve seen some as high as 18! Over the past two weeks, we’ve only been pushed to inside waters a couple days because…
The three day groups who just finished fishing with us had a sample of the common weather conditions of 2015 – from a sunny day on the ocean to a windy, rainy day tucked away in inside waters. Fortunately, when weather rolls in, we find sanctuary in protected waters that still hold fish – a huge benefit to fishing…
First timers Ralph Noyes, Dennis Owsley, Fred Stahlbush, and Scott Brunsdon came to Sitka after Ralph’s thorough research revealed it to be the best fishery in Alaska. They chose Angling Unlimited after learning from our website what their experience would be like. They were blown away. During their three-day fishing trip, Captain Bo took them to our…
Our silver success continues to be the most productive to the north. Over the weekend, most of the fleet went to Hoonah Sound and enjoyed amazing weather and great coho fishing. The water was flat and with nothing but current to push the boats around, many of the captains chose to motor-mooch around Emmons Island. Most…
Jim Klaustermeyer returned for his second trip of 2015 bringing Loren Kramer and H.Paul and Dorothy Fountain with him. Jim visited in June for the kings and returned this time to fish for acrobatic silvers. Every day of the trip, Captain Spencer took the crew north. He mainly fished in Hoonah Sound, where the silver fishing…
Dick, Jerman, Bob, and Russ have fished with AU for 15 seasons and even after all those trips, they still experienced something new. The trip began with the long scenic drive to Hoonah Sound. This route takes a right turn at Icy Queen and follows the ferry track towards Juneau. Weaving through islands and strong rapids, it’s untouched…
