I continue to be too busy to keep reports updated.  So the general bite is really good with strong action early in the morning.  Flies have domiinated the catch, but plugs are holding their own.  Last weekend was three trips in two days.  Trip one found me offshore in 330-350 fow and having lots of bites on smaller fish with a few mature kings mixed in.  Trip two I stayed closer to home and worked on kings in 170 fow and boxed a 2 man crew. Trip three found me back in 170-200 and working flies on the bottom of the water column.  All lures have been in the bottom of the water column and action has been good with roughly 20 bites per trip. 

Northport Nailer flies in SeaMist, SeaMist UV, Artic Ice and Little Boy Blue have all been really strong.  Pearl glow plugs are picking away at fish as well. 

Four more charters this week.  More details to follow.

Fishing was strong this morning.  We landed 14 of 18 bites in a little over 3 hours fishing this morning.  Fish were 65-107 fow and spoons ruled.  Belding Bait (92) took 4 on the high diver 100 and 125 back, roughy (65) took 2 on the other high diver 63 back, Mixed veggies (47) took 2 on the wire diver 125 back, Mirage fly on the bottom took 2, Lemonlime/orange took one on the 9 color, Blue ice took one on the 11 color, Mashed bananna glow (12) took one on rigger 65 down, Drumfish took 2 on the same rigger as the slider, Seabee went 2 times on the 250 copper.  A good day was had by all.

Fishing is basically a take all you want right now.  3 hours fishing yesterday put 17 in the boat.  All other boats I talked to had similar results.  Lots of nice healthy kings in the 10-15# range.  Some lake trout and coho mixed in as well.  On my boat action was all on HorseFlies, and primarily deep.  Riggers 130-150 down, divers 200-300 back and 450' copper rigs.  With the clouds yesterday everything was blue.  Little Boy Blue, Blue Glow and SeaMist took all 19 bites running them behind 10-11 flashers primarily in blue colors.  Get out there while the fishing is still HOT!

Took the boat out all alone on Friday afternoon for a quick two hour trip.  I landed 5 of 7 on in that short time.  HorseFlies were the ticket.  I caught fish from 235 fow to 265 fow.  Best was Artic Ice Horsefly taking 4 bites, SeaMist and SeaWeed each took one bite.  Rigger bites were 108 and 154 down and diver bites were 240 and 320 back.  Hot troll wih down speeds 2.5-2.7.  I landed 3 kings from 9-11# and one laker and one coho.  The lone spoon bite was on a Nailer #5, Lemon lime orange twist. 

Reports from friends continue to be spectacular with limit catches for everyone on board in fairly short order. Fishing seems is about 4-6 weeks ahead of shcedule this year.  Browns have been caught in shallower, but a great mixed bag with lots of big kings are being taken out deeper. 

I jumped aboard SeaBee as a first mate on Saturday monning and we continued the slaughter landing 18 of 23.  SeaBee is also a Northport Nailer boat so it was the same program.  Nailers and Horse flies were about a 50/50 split on the fish.  We did best in 220-240 although other reports were fish were in 140 as well.  Most fish were on the deep side with riggers 67-125 down and deep coppers like 250, 300 and 400. 12 colors of lead took fish and so did divers 130-230 back.

Get out there while the season allows.  Salmonhead goes to sleep in a few weeks.  Still have October 1 and 2 open as well as October 15 and 16.
