King salmon fishing has been outstanding here in Craig. I've got the fellars from Lowrance on the boat right now and they've been having a ball with some nice kings. Mostly catch and release, but we have bonked a couple for them to take home. Here's Mike Schnettler from Minnesota with 33 and 32 pound Chinook. Kings are spread out at quite a few places right now which has been nice. I ran into Haus_BH at the fuel dock this afternoon and he had a nice day out there also. Pretty darn fun right now!

Awesome pics Robbo.

So when does the seiner's season start up?...and does that impact you as much as I think it does? I spent a summer in Craig on the F/V Melanie Ann as a deckhand back in my college years (1989) and back then there wasn't much, if any, guide fishing out of Craig.

BigBankWA-It does and it doesn't impact us. It seems there's usually enough fish around by then to keep everyone going. Sure, if you're at Seine Rock or the Cape and a seiner pulls in it's going to be over in a hurry. Not the end of the world...I just move and keep on keeping on 8-)
