Sitka and King Salmon Fishing
Took a trip on a 50' motor sailer to Sitka for supplies and spent a day salmon fishing with a friend.
Eliason Marina
We managed to limit out
Nothing better than fresh bright ocean caught king salmon

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.

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!!!!

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.

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