Season Updates Bear Hunting/Saltwater Fishing
June 26th, 2008
We haven't had many guests since the last update. Last week we had the guys from Higher Ground
Outdoors back to film an archery hunt. They were able to call a bear in and got a shot under 20 yards
The shooter made a great shot and as we'll see on the show he showed great poise in placing his shot.
I can't tell you too much but it should make for a great show. I'll let you know when it airs.
I don't have a lot to put in this update because I didn't save my bear hunt for this one. I had to put it on
the website as soon as possible. I was too excited.
The season is changing and spring is coming to an end. Black Bear season technically ends in a few
days but is already over for most people. Our focus now turns to summer saltwater fishing. We have
spent the last few weeks getting the boats ready and have fished a few days. The fishing has been
slow until recently. This week we have been getting into some good fishing and a good variety of fish
as well. Yesterday the guys went out and got 17 Coho Salmon, a few Pinks, lost a nice King Salmon,
3 Ling Cod, and some Halibut. Not a bad day of fishing. I don't have photos for you right now but I
should have some soon. We have also been running our newest boat. The blue boat in the photos
below. It is a 28 foot North River and it fishes great. I am not up in Alaska this week so all I have
for up to date pictures is a cell phone picture sent to me by the owner, Brent. They had a good day
that day and this fish was the largest King Salmon that day. I will have more pictures to post soon.
From here on out the saltwater fishing should be wide open. If you are coming up later this summer it
should be a great season. We'll see you soon.
