Great day fishing Barkley Sound. We picked up 3 chinook salmon that we kept and also hooked up on our first hali of the season, checked the crab pots on the way in and all got our limits on some Dungeness crabs and had to release back another dozen crabs….

Early salmon fishing and cod fishing trip

Out fishing yesterday  at alley rock and star reef…. we picked up 2 chinook . . 4 lings …. couple rock cod and a small halibut. A little Lumpy and breezy in the morning but wasn’t too bad at all, Hank hooked into something big, almost stripped all the line of the islanders reel, Must have been some sea monster, although there was a bunch of porpoise around us earlier. It made off with my flasher and Irish cream spoon .
