Our annual Sitka sojourn is off to a solid start. We're not seeing huge numbers of chinook just yet but, heck... we're just getting started!

After being polite by letting my friend catch the first one, I was rewarded with a bigger fish!

With some heavy weather coming in -thanks to that high pressure system over western Washington- the next few days will be a challenge but we're going to do our best!!!

Nice fish! North or South of the island? (if you don't mind me asking)

Can't wait to get up there next week and thanks for saving the big fish until I get there!!

Nelly,
Do you trailer your boat up there?

[Nelly]

Yup! It comes up on its trailer. It's too far to run it up

Good friend Dave Heiser is next on the Sitka guest list and has enjoyed some serious action!

They may come bigger but they sure don't come brighter than this chromer!
