The fish are here!
Yes, we are finally landing fish on both sides of the inlet! With seven new Captain’s Club members, five of which were in the 40 pound range, plus one Master Fisherman, trip 8 was a huge success.
With the weather on our side, two Mouth trips to Calvert Island produced a steady flow of Coho and one big Chinook. The old theory of having one in the boat to get things started was proved right.
With a forecast of rain again for the next couple of days, I’m expecting the fish to stay around in good numbers for some time yet.
We will continue hitting the Slide, Whale Rock and McPhee Bay (minutes from the resort) on a more regular schedule to get the fish that, as predicted, are coming up on our side of the inlet.
My congratulations to Steve Betts and wife Courtney, who got the fish of the trip. Also to Bob Bidner for his 18 pound Coho. To all the other big fish anglers—Gary Hughes, Dave Webb, Joel Sitts, Dave Novak and Archie York—well done to you all and welcome to the club!
Hope to see you all back next year to better your pounds.
‘til then, keep your eyes on your tips and your lines tight.
