Thanks Vek. I did something similar our of Valdez. I had a jet boat, but still went out a ways. We stayed 9 days at the Eagle Nest campground. What a ball. We were trying for some close in halibut and watching the depth finder, my hillbilly ass saw it go black at about 40 feet. I told one of my friends to look at all the shad. That was my first thought.
Anyway,what I was seeing were schools of silvers. We started jigging cut herring on halibut rods. Bunch of guys from KY having a ball and catching fish
We also got into snagging the pinks out in front of the hatchery.
Finally took a trip with Silver Lining Charters (I think). The Cpt resided out of North Pole when he wasn’t chartering. Slammed the halibut with 3 over 150#. What a trip.
I only lived up there in Two Rivers for about 4 years. Sure miss the north land. I envy you guys
