This report is for our 8/29 - 9/2 trip to Sitka. We fished 8/30 - 9/1 and caught Coho, King, halibut, sea bass, other rockfish, and a Pacific cod.

There were 5 anglers on board (two couples) plus a single. Wednesday's tally was 16 Coho, 15 sea bass, and several other bonus rockfish. Thursday's tally was 17 Coho, 15 sea bass, 5 halibut, a nice Pacific cod, and several bonus rockfish. Friday's tally was 29 Coho, 5 halibut, and about a dozen sea bass and a few bonus rockfish.

It was cool, windy, and wet. Ocean conditions were bad with winds 25 - 30kts so all fishing was in protected waters. Each angler came home with 100lbs of fillets!

This was our second trip with the same guide service (made the same trip, same time last year) and we were not disappointed. Great captain and deck hand who worked hard to put us in fishable water and they were outstanding. We'd go back in a heartbeat. :-)

Very welcome Andy. For those who've never been, it should be on your "bucket list". :-)

Looks fantastic! Glad to see you were able to repeat. 100 pounds of fillets is incredible. It is definitely something I'll do someday and pictures like yours reinforce it. Thanks for sharing.

Actually had a better catch this year compared to last year, but the weather was MUCH nicer last year. Since my wife and I were 2/5's of the anglers on board, we brought home 200lbs!! The smoker will be busy as soon as it cools down some. :-D
