A few weeks ago was really good for king salmon. It died a bit but will pick up after these bigger tides. I'm hopefully running north for a halibut slaughter this weekend if the weather allows. I'm allowed 20 halibut with my subsistence card, and I know where I can get 20 30#ish halibut.... That wil...

I'm no hunter, tried it. Wasn't for me. More of a Observer. But very cool story, worthy of a Larry Czonka TV show. Less Larry....who needs him!!!!! Get a ram mount, attach a Video camera on boat for the times you can't hold it. And make your own "show". That's what I wanna do, just have t...

How many bear are you allowed to take a year in AK. ? That sure looks like a rush. have ya tried it with a Bow ? 2 per year. It's really fun and gets some excitement going after the winter. I'm in trophy mode, so I might not even shoot one this year. I ain't pulling the trigger unless the bear make...

Fragile Alloy?

If anybody asks you how durable Alloy is, you can refer them to me...... I spent the day chasing bears with a friend. Chasing coastal black bears involves glassing beaches and dropping off the shooter to make the stalk. And, the Alaskan shoreline isn't exactly sandy.. I musta crashed into 50 rocks w...

Drudge ran this story. http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id ... _article=1

One positive thing will be the commercial guys won't be able to fish with expensive gas, and their will be more fish in the ocean for me! (yeah, that was really selfish)

I lived for two years in FL, but I plan on burning my last gallon of gas chasing a fish up here... (grin)

$10 Gal Gas Alloy

As I was filling up yesterday, I started thinking about the price of Gas and how $10 gas would affect my terrible fishing habit. I'm expecting $5 gas this summer, and who knows after that. Also note that I sport fish almost every day from March-May, and Charter Fish from June-August. That's a lot of...

Haha! Yeah, that rod broke in half when I was setting the hook on a rockfish. I wish it had been on a giant king salmon or something cool. Power Pro is tough on salmon trolling rods... Fuel is $3.90 a gallon here now, so everybody lately has been piling in my boat and splitting gas costs, as mine is...

Kings

Been fishing a ton out of my skiff. Kings are coming in close to town and my foster son and I have been hitting it hard. We both got or limit this morning. Tonight it's bear hunting out of the skiff. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v725/joelst99/joelapril20king.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/album...

I was hit by a freak storm 3 years ago. I was fishing outside waters about 30 miles from the harbor in my Pacific 1925. It was piss calm all morning with nothing in the forcast. A breeze started and I started to head in. By the time I reached a major cape, I realized I couldn't cross it and turned a...

Case,

What are you replacing it with? Are you going to open up shop in Pelican? I did commercial fishing around there and up on the fairweathers in my younger years. It's really good fishing and very beautiful.

Electronics questions.

I was digging through my boats wiring yesterday as I was running wires for downriggers and I noticed a few things that I wanted to ask you guys about. First is corrosion. How common is it on Alloys? I'm seeing a good amount of corrosion on my key switch terminals and switch panel. I'm also seeing so...

I have a 90 Honda on a 1925 Pacific. I crave more HP, but the motor trolls at the perfect speed for salmon so I'm going to leave it alone. When it comes time to re-power, it will be with a Honda 150. It will be scary fast for the Alaskan ocean.

Scott, thanks for the pics! I was sure that I wasn't the only one obsessed with a fishfinder!

I've had people tell me that you can't read salmon on a sounder. I always smile. It took me 4 years of fishing up here to get it figured out, but when I did, life was made a whole lot easier.
