FISHING REPORT: Sept. 04, 2008

THE SILVER SALMON ARE IN THE STRAITS OF JUAN DE FUCA, NOW!

One Neah Bay angler (here all the time) gave this report yesterday, John Hough said, " The Silver salmon are running deep and off land...In 700-900 depth of water...Very near the Canadian side. I caught a total of seven (7) silver salmon and (4) four of them had been clipped! " John limited out and his fish had been 10-19 pounds. John had a very nice picture of his biggest catch but it was on his cell phone or Big Salmon would have sent a picture to the local newspaper. It was VERY THICK!

So, Thank you John for searching HIGH AND LOW for the salmon....and We here at Big Salmon appreciate your fishing report ...and I am sure that the other anglers will appreciate you for finding the fish on the RUN!

silver, it was very thick ... oh about 8-10 pounds.

A very nice lingcod was caught yesterday as well...it was a beauty!

Salmon fishing has picked up there was some good fishing last week the kings are biting anywhere from skagway to spike rock very shallow water 20 to 80 feet of water the bait fishermen seem to be doing the best. Most guys say just to watch for the bait and bird action and drop your gear, the silvers are off the light house about six miles at table top they come and go. We also have salmon charters available or bottom fishing charters just give us a call 1-866 787-1900 THANKS!
It might be a good IDEA to get on out here before the QUOTA is met...the last report that we received from the WDFW was that the fishermen had caught 60 percent of the KINGS and 40 percent of the SILVERS.

Today Brady Krukar, Don Christiansen, And Jim Dimick all when on a combo trip and got a slow start on our fishing trip did pick up one king around the corn from Tatoosh Island. After changing the fishing gear to bottom fishing gear they caught their limit off of Fuca-pillars and Skagway, they caught the limit of the lings and bass along with the Scenery....BEAUTIFUL! Brady at the age of 16 caught the first king and ONLY king...smile! And then he tells me...caught the first lingcod at 20 pounds.
Tomorrow the trip will be for silvers at Table Top...these fishermen are here in Neah Bay enough to be considered to be a local's or REGULARS. So they will be in before ten AM tomorrow with more fish story for you all.
Charter boat we do have availability so Call 1-866-787-1900 and we can get your trip started....TOM BURLINGAME said, that the BOTTOM FISHING IS GREAT! Also salmon fish his costumers have been limiting as well....

Gordy from the Cape told us that area 4 (Neah Bay) will have a one day opener for U.S. halibut .. July 26, 2008 (Saturday). If the count is good after this opener the State will reopen U.S. halibut again Aug.1, 2008 as well.

Salmon fishing off of Umatilla Reef has been really good this past week...we had plenty of fish in our cooler and freezer last week. And for fishing inside the fishermen have been reporting that the salmon are running shallow this year in about 66 feet of water ... these fish like the coyote spoons. But if you need help catching fish out here it is always good to talk with Joey Lawrence ... He's an okey fishermen ...ALSO! smile.

Lingcod fishing has been excellent off of Tatoosh Island a Mr. White gave us this report...But you will have to know when and how to work the tides.

Thank you all for coming out to Neah Bay and fishing the beautiful waters out here ...and we look forward to seeing you all back again before the summer is over..
