Lisa and I still needed just a few more fish to reach what we feel we need for the winter.
Last year we had a place in Klawock can the large majority of our fish and we are hoping to be able to do that again this year.
It was just Lisa and the puppy Bambina ('Bina) and myself onboard today.
We headed for our usual trolling grounds North of town and got our lines in the water.
The weather was foggy and cool to start and I was wearing a sweatshirt on deck. An hour later I was down to a T-shirt as the fog had cleared and the sun had come through.
We ended up trolling only about 3 hours and boated 5 nice fat Silvers, and called it good at that. No Pinks landed, but we did end up with a few shaker Kings which of course we pitched back.
We stopped at the fuel dock on the way back in and fueled up. These short little salmon fishing trips don't burn much fuel but eventually you have to pay the piper.
This may be the end of salt water fishing for us this year. We'll see how the weather holds up for the rest of the month. I traditionally take my salt water fishing gear off the boat around the end of September. The weather starts deteriorating, the fish disappear, and the daylight hours take a dive, so it's time to shift gears.
