Geez, with all of this talk of fishing up there, I had to go out and start my Trophy. It has not been run since the end of last summer when Rasbo and I hooked lots of salmon at Sekiu last year. It started up and sounds good with the brand new engine that I put in it last year. I guess that I will polish it up this weekend and be ready for any trips out with anybody that wants to go. Maybe I will have to reel in Rasbo's fish again this year. I normally keep it moored at Sekiu for 6 month's out of the year. Love to fish up that way.

Any idea what they charge monthly for a trailer spot out there? My dad and I have been talking about leaving my trailer and his boat out there and not have to haul it back and forth. May make a few more trips if we didn't have such a big gas bill from all the towing.

They have rates on line. You can try Olson's resort or Van Ripers. Olsons has the jetty to protect your boat from bad weather and also has the only gas pump in the area for boats. The RV rates I think are very good and I take my motorhome up there very often. They might give a discount if you leave your rig there for an extended period of time. I feel that leaving my boat up there instead of hauling it back and forth reduces my odds of an accident with it. Also it is nice when the season is busy, to just walk down the ramp and start my boat and go fishing instead of fighting people trying to launch their boat. Before salmon season is when I like it the best because you normally have the run of the place with very few people.

Thanks, I will check that out. We usually stay at Olsons when in Sieku, but sleep in the cuddy on a 19 foot Arima. Geting to old to enjoy that much anymore. I've been thinking about leaving my trailer out there for the last few years just never seem to get around to doing it.

not much to choose from now fun fleet has 4 spots on the ninteenth of may,295.00 halibut ling and seabass if we have time the smaller boat will have more time la push

$295  :yike: Is that per person ???
yep thats the cheapest

Crazy!  For $1500 plus airfare I went to Yakutat, AK last June and fished for slabs five days, caught bottomfish, and slammed the sockeye in the river.  Even caught a few Kings as well.


Anyone fishing in area 6 or 7?

Yoter, I'd be interested in tagging along some time.

I've fished out of PA a few times. The fishing always seems to be hot the day before we got there.

Take the handheld GPS with you. The information you get is worth the 295.

  Depending on the weather of course, but hoping to hit the opener out of Ilwaco. There are some big tides that weekend though, be careful out there. Any other southern coast guys heading out?
