Another Alaska trip is in the books!
« on: July 28, 2024, 09:43:19 PM »
Spent a great week on the tip of Prince of Whales Island with my 24 year old son and my three fishing and hunting buddies. Lots of big halibut and got into some good ling's. My one buddy is an alaskan resident. Salmon are late this year so we didn't focus on them. Will do Salmon when I go back the last week of August. And yes, the big yellow-eye went back down after the picture. Nothing like Alaska!!!  One of my many happy places.

POW is amazing!  What port did you fish out of?  We fish with Wayne out of whale pass and had a great time!

My wife and I just got back as well. We were in Craig.  Silvers are definitely late this year.  On our third day of fishing I convinced my friend to bring us further North to try and find silvers.  It worked out well.

I'm headed up to do my annual trip to POW next week. I am also curious to what port you were out of?

Were you guys specifically targeting Lings, or did you pick them up drifting for Halibut?
