Sund's Lodge

We don’t mean to sound like a broken record but it was another amazing day up here at Sund’s Lodge.  The sky broke and we had a gloriously warm beach bistro.  Ledge Point on Vancouver Island was very gracious to several of our boats, particularly Capt. Mike with guest Jim who bagged this 40 lb chinook on an epic 35 minute fight.  It was the experience of a lifetime for Mike and Jim.  In the afternoon they went out after the beach lunch and Jim caught a 26 lbr off Bold Head- that is 66 lbs of salmon for the day!  Not bad!  Many of the other boats limited on pinks and hatchery coho.  Alex caught a 28 lb chinook with Capt. Geoff Millar in Mitchell Bay that wrapped itself around kelp and provided quite a scare.  In all, there were over 45 salmon on the dock at the end of the day and lots of happy campers!

Alan and his gang from LA County had a fantastic day on teh water.  Guide Geoff Millar’s boat goat some big chinooks and limited on halibut in Queen Charlotte Strait.  Jesse once again had the big fish of the day but everyone joined in the fun.  A great day on the water!

Jesse Thomas caught the big fish of the first afternoon with this beauty 15 pounder caught near the Lodge.  Lots of fish were caught in our first afternoon out.  Team Boone loaded the boat and got halfway to their limit- in just a few hours.  We’re off to a great start!

Its an old adage but so true….sunrises like these mean bad weather is on the horizon.  We had 30 knot winds and 6 foot waves at times.  We fished until noon and luckily found a batch off fish close to home and limited out on salmon.  By lunchtime it was back to the lodge for hot tubbing, backgammon, and cocktails.  By nightfall the wind was already laying down- should be calm by dawn!

Another day, another great adventure at Sund’s.  Steve Kreps landed a trophy 33 pound chinook off Vancouver Island with Capt. Geoff Millar on an epic fight. 

Eddie caught a record 18 pound hatchery coho and all of us ended up on Queen Charlotte Strait jigging in perfect conditions and caught a batch of nice halibut.  It was an incredible day.
