Sitka 2014 Great White: NORTH!

June 25, 2014

This year’s edition of The Outdoor Line’s annual Sitka trip was a very special one. We had some Alaska “first-timers”, (I was going to say “Greenhorns” but…) some of our wives made the trip for the first time in several years and 2014 marked the Alaskan arrival of the 710 ESPN flagship, the Weldcraft 280 […]

“Chirp” Your Sonar with Lowrance Sonarhub

May 21, 2014

I’ve seen Lowrance’s new Sonarhub in action on Nelly’s boat and on the Salt Patrol boat and the Chirped sonar images are ridiculous. This new technology allows you to actually see the fish feeding in dense schools of baitfish and it clarifies the sonar images immensely. The next time you see the Salt Patrol boat […]

The Inaugural Harbor Marine Salmon Tournament!

July 30, 2013

It’s not often you get to participate in an event “first” in the fishing world… Add the fact that the “first” in question is the newest stop on the prestigious Northwest Salmon Derby Series with a new tournament format and it’s no wonder why over 100 anglers and ten teams stepped up to compete in […]

The 2013 Anacortes Salmon Derby!

April 1, 2013

You’ve heard it a thousand times: “March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb.” This year, the Anacortes Salmon Derby fell on the final weekend of March, with weather that could only be described as “spectacular” and I’m not sure that word does justice to the conditions, or the event! There’s […]

Gearing Up for an Alaska Charter Season

March 14, 2013

It’s March 13th and while I should be thinking about steelhead fishing or something “current” my mind is already preoccupied with all the little things that could make my life easier on the boat this summer in Southeast Alaska. If you didn’t already know I own and operate Prince of Wales Sportfishing in Craig, Alaska […]

2013 Olympic Peninsula Salmon Derby -Day One

February 17, 2013

Last year was our first time at the Olympic Penninsula Salmon Derby and after experiencing the event, the location and of course the fishing… there was no way I was going to miss this year! The Harborside Inn was very generous to host us and we did a remote broadcast of The Outdoor Line Radio Show […]

One very salty ride here… Master Marine of Mount Vernon has a […]

Green Sinkers’n Cut Plug Herring

January 10, 2013

All that dad and I brought with us blackmouth fishing on Puget Sound today were our mooching rods, some sinkers, and a couple dozen fresh herring from Narrows Marina. Reports of rock solid winter blackmouth fishing in Area 10 have been trickling in to the Outdoor Line for the last couple of weeks and I […]

Imitation: the sincerest form of flattery…for fish and fishermen!

August 4, 2012

One of the aspects of fishing that never ceases to fascinate me is the fact that there is always something new to learn. No two days are the same, let alone seasons! Each year a new wrinkle, a new point of emphasis, a new way to use old gear or perhaps a new area to […]
