Fishing Update
July 18 - 24, 2010

For most of the week the weather was overcast with quite a few holes in the clouds. Friday the winds picked up and most of the fishing was done from protected areas. Despite that the guests still were able to bring in a 120 pound halibut from up the inlet. The week started good with a number of boats limiting on Halibut and quite a few salmon on the dock. If I’m not mistaken we had halibut over 100 pounds each day this week. The largest was 156. The halibut continue to move a round and have been coming from places such as Waterfall, Mary’s, No Mans, Matt’s, and Homeshore.

Salmon fishing is steady. On Monday we had a silver come in at 14 pounds and Friday the largest was 16. On Wednesday and Thursday some of the beach carts were completed loaded with pinks, chums, and silvers from guest exploits. Pinks have begun to jump a round the dock as well. On Sunday when guests arrived one caught a dolly varden from the stream on their first cast. It was fun to watch the fishing fever kick in for the week.

For those you with iphones…I found a neat little application for free download for the tides here. The name of it is Shralp Tides. Once it loads tap the icon in the lower right corner and set your location as Juneau. The application gives current tide level and direction and times of highs and lows on a rolling five days. The format is really simple and easy to understand too. See for yourself.
