North to Alaska

[Caveman Jim]

Well folks I am Alaska bound for a week during the third week of June to fish (catch) with my son & his fellow Coast Guard friends. I plan to fill my freezer with King salmon, halibut, ling cod & bottom fish galore. Something I cannot do down here in my back yard.

That being said, I will not be supporting WDFW with a salmon tag nor CRE this year. I do this in protest of the way that the Commissions (both WA & Or) has thrown sportsmen and women under the bus and defied the Laws passed by Congress in Washington and Oregon. Just think if regular citizens defied the laws of the state & what would happen...

I do intend to spend my money (yeah, a lot more$$$) in Alaska & BC to fulfill my love of fishing and spending some much needed time with family and friends.

Fish on Jim!!!!!

When I grew up we threw back those Butt-Ugly ling cod's.

We kept the orange colored yellow eye's ,Black-eyed Sea bass and hal-i-butt's when bottom fishing.
Funny as a kid reeling in those orange fish from 400ft with eye's pop'n out from decompression.

I mean pop'n like 2-3'' out of there head's.

Hope you have a good trip !!!

Ketchikan, my son is stationed there.

 

[jbett98]

I had a friend that lived on Admiralty Island in Juneau, and I would fly up there on Mark Air (super cheap tickets) around Labor Day to go fishing with him.
I couldn't believe how clear the water was and how plentiful the fishing was.

Better fishing at the Bonanza bar in Skagway if you are looking for a different kind of fish

 

[CountryGent]

Best of wishes on your trip. Sounds like a lot of fishing fun.

I spent two years in Ketchikan on a job. There's nothing better than fresh caught halibut after a long day of fishing. Everybody likes halibut, you cant hardly give away a salmon.

I know what you mean, I was there back in 1990 and caught so many reds I couldn't fit all the fillets in my 105 qt cooler to fly them home...

Enjoy!!! I went over with my mom to babysit my little cousins in Terrebonne while my aunt was at a horse show in Vegas and my uncle was in Alaska fishing. Got a nice slab of halibut and a full tank of gas as a thank you. Cooked that sucker the same day, drizzled in lemon juice, added a bit of rosemary and cooked it up in the oven. SO Damn good.

Have a ball Jim, and remember Halibut costs a lot more than nasty, old, oily, Salmon down here!!! Just sayin'!
