Day 2 was calm in the morning, and after missing the afternoon fishery, yesterday, our guests were eager to get out on the water. A couple of the boats were into fish early, as Big Jim Duddridge put his crew into a double of good chinook, off of Lady Ellen, and Nick “Tiny Dancer” Teichert had coho and pink action in Mitchell Bay. Fishing was slow at Lady Ellen, though, and just a few pink bites and a hatchery coho were all that happened for the rest of the morning among 3 boats in the area. Things picked up later in the morning around the Slide, with coho, pink, and chinook hitting anchovies just before the Burger Boat came around to throw bags of leftovers to the fishing boats. Spencer had his guests dialed into some really nice chinook, and they picked up 2, and lost 1, in the hour before lunch!
After lunch the weather remained stable, so the boats all ran out to the strait for a “flounder pounder”. The fishing was pretty good, and steady action through the afternoon produced a good pile of halibut, up to 50lbs!
Cindy nailed the largest salmon of the day, at the Slide, moments before the lunch boat came around. It weighed in at 23lbs!God light shines down on Kevin Tidd as she poses with her 45lb. halibut.
Spenny's crew did very well today!
Cary nabbed the big butt of the day, this 50lb. slab'o'meat!
Kevin Wheeler rolls up to the dock with this 32lber!
Tiny Dancer forgot to bring halibut bait this morning, but they didn't need any, as their nice halibut were hungry for pink salmon heads, as this picture clearly shows!
Dale caught this 20lb. chinook on a doubleheader with his wife, Nancy!
The Warden took his crew for a great day on the water, getting a limit of halibut, to pile on the Grochowich's doubleheader of chinook!
Joanna was hot on the halibut, today, and brought in the 2nd largest of the day, a 46lber!
