Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska Fishing 2016

Klik, I used to fish the salmon river in Pulaski NY with a spinning reel loaded with 8lb maxima on a 9ft 9wt fly rod. Hooked lots of fish but didn't land very many! Was definitely fun though.

Plenty of river fishing to be had here also

My wife have been able to fish a few times this winter on the Copper. I usually have my JD 450 in this area instead of a jetboat. We will fish steady now until 4-10 when it closes for the spawn. I'm not that fat,lots of gloves in my pockets!

Gloves? Sure Jim! Seriously looking good Jim. I need to come out and visit ya'll soon.

Nice fish! Flashers are interesting, never seen anybody run anything like em round here... we run these, www.shortbusflashers.com

I'm planning to order up some of the Swarm Flashers for this season. I've been hearing all sort of rave reviews from the Homer guys.

I'm a big fan of the swarm...

Just ordered some, thanks for the link..

Got in last night at 11pm. 150 miles down the outside. 10-12ft seas, with 15ft in a few spots. Always amazed at the stuff I get to see. Glad to be home with the family again. Things looked very fishy coming down the coast. Got her tied up in her new home. Things are about to get VERY bloody.

Glad you got her home and hope you knock I'm dead

Lookin' good. You going to fish it until the tourists show up?

How's the Almar coming along?

Almar is doing good. Goes into the welder on April 20th. Trailer is here. Getting a custom stripe put on by coho designs. Then either 150 Yamis or mercs. Might wait until the end of the summer to put engines on, or next springs. Tax situation dictates when I buy engines.



I'll troll May, then Charter June/July/Aug. Troll kings July 1-4 too. Then Troll Sept. Busy summer coming up. By the time it's all said and done, their be alot more done than said, but might hang frequent pics here..(grin)

Painting weather coming up. I'll make he Glory shine.

Pic of the Glory when I got her to town a few days ago. She'll really shine after this stretch of nice weather. Need to get the window trim done, as well as the hull and other brightwork.

Way cool watching all the progress! Glad you got her home safe and sound.

I put the money away for the Glory a few years ago. Thought the owner was going to retire sooner. Waited and waited, and now finally the boat is down in the harbor. Glad I didn't spend the money! Lord knows I was tempted. Well worth the wait.

If you like/love trolling for salmon, commercial power trolling takes it to a completely different level. That boat has 8k worth of electronics and programs on it. Takes the stuff on sport boats to a whole new level.

Sometimes wish this place had "like" buttons; could easily use them on your posts. Fine looking 'workplace' you've got there.

Yeah the Glory is a a beauty. I look forward to your pictures Calvin the quality coming from POW far exceeds anything coming out of Montana. wink

Btw you have a fantastic looking first mate there!

I have a new unopened I Phone sitting on my desk. One of these days before I start I'll open it up and figure it out. I think it will be easier to take pics and upload them from that rather than using a separate camera. Who knows. Wife got me a go-pro too. Some good footage coming this summer.

Yes, my girls are awesome. They are growing up so fast. They like to fish too.

Iphone takes great pictures I don't even bother with a camera any more. GoPro is great for fishing footage.
Im waiting for spring to come back,boat is winterized again and covered in snow right now temps below freezing all week
Looks like next Sunday for the spring to rearrive here
