Took a trip on a 50' motor sailer to Sitka for supplies and spent a day salmon fishing with a friend.

Nice --- first photo is a real winner.Ateo - 5-28-2014 at 06:55 PM
Epic. I love Sitka. Spent a few summers in Ketchikan working on salmon boats and in the cannery. Heading back up there next month.
Those are some big salmon you got there. I was a grader in the cannery but have lost my skills. Guessing those are Coho or Kings?
Edit: I see where you wrote KING, on the photo and the thread. Perhaps better reading skills are in order for me. The Coho was rare when I was
grading.

Thanks, You have to stay up really late or get up really early for
the golden hour here.Mula - 5-28-2014 at 07:03 PM
See if you can find Casey Phillips in Sitka. He's a retired salmon fisherman and lives on a sail boat. He spent 5 weeks in San Nicolas at the rancho
there and then time at Casa Buena and dental work with Yxchel.
He'll show you a good time!!!!LancairDriver - 5-28-2014 at 07:57 PM
Nice Kings! Quickest way to tell. If the edge of the mouth is black it is a Chinook, if white it's a Coho. Also if there were scales all over
everything it's a Coho.chuckie - 5-29-2014 at 03:01 AM

Not much better than that. The way you were dressed, it looks like you don't have to worry much about icing them down.
