Hammer time in Craig! Leave a reply

The list of chores is finally winding down and we're spending more time on the water in Craig.  Today we peeled away from the charter fleet and did our own thing, finding hungry king and silver salmon away from the rest of the boats.  With plenty of kings to the north in Sitka things should really start heating up here soon!

Jim "Bucket" Heins with a 30 plus pound "karma" king that he released today.  This one goes back in the water to make for some good fishing on the Polar Bear the rest of the summer.  Calm seas, lots of fish, and a helluva good crew here in town right now.  When he's not fishing Jim is Mr. Fix It, going to town on ice machines, boat electonics, door locks, and whatever else might pop up. 

Stam poses with a fat chrome king salmon amidst a fast bite offshore today.  Usually we wash the blood off these fish before pics, but this one was a "hurry up and take my pic so I can get back in the water" fish.  Good stuff!

Today on "The Dumbest Catch", greenhorn Stam temps his fate with a phat dungeness crab in Craig, Alaska!
