Sekiu Silvers

Mike L, Eric C, Joe and I fished Sekiu Sat  10-13-12 and Sunday 10-14-12
Saturdays weather was very good overcast and flat calm but  it was a much different story on Sunday
On Sunday the wind was howling 40 to 50 knots and the rain was pounding down. It was hard to decide if the sheets of blowing salt water or the pouring rain were worse, but one thing’s for sure It was some of the most difficult conditions I have ever salmon fished in.  Even with the poor conditions on Sunday  there  were still plenty of willing biters and we did not have any problem catching our limits
The overall fishing this weekend  was very  good . We had very fast action on midsized silvers
The fish were spread out all over the water column we caught fish from the surface down to about 400 feet
We had our  best  results on Herring, buck tails, hoochies and the ace hi fly but I am sure that many other lures would have worked also.

October Albacore @ Westport

We fished Westport Saturday Oct 6 and Sunday October 7
The overall weather and water conditions were very good
There are still plenty of tuna out there  but the fishing has definitely slowed.
The  water temperature has been slowly  dropping and it’s getting tough to find anything over 60 degrees, but there is still plenty of blue water around.
The troll bite has been on the slow side and the fish have been very boat shy, but if you can get them to go on the live bait; which has not been easy to do,  there is still the chance to catch some huge numbers  of fish.
