Seward Alaska Salmon Fishing Slayfest!

I don't know if the Silver Salmon from Seward Alaska are as common everywhere as they were for us at our fishing hole, but it was a major slayfest. We had a fishing derby to see who would catch the first fish ... but because Kurt lost his birthday fishing hat, he had a two minute penalty ... and it was all over in that amount of time. Mary pulled in the first Silver Salmon and they were hitting fast and furious after that.

We pulled in a few pink salmon (they liked to jump on the surface), but tossed those back ... ditto for a few dogfish we pulled up from the deeps. With six of us fishing (and often several people yelling FISH-ON at the same time), we caught our limit of 3 Alaska Salmon per person in about an hour - they were all about 10 pounders or so. Our charter boat captain Kevin had said earlier that it would be some great fishing ... and this lived up to that expectation - Seward Alaska rocked for salmon fishing! ;-)

Kurt says FISH-ON!

Mary a month later with a King Salmon in Washington
Kurt says: "Went off the coast of Washington last weekend and Mary said 'the fishings not that good,' so I said 'go big or go home.' She went big with a 32 lb King Salmon." Mary points out: "And yes, the white t-shirt I'm wearing under my blue fleece IS an official Captain Crudd fishing shirt - courtesy of Betsy Komarnitsky!" I guess not all the big fish are in Alaska ...

We thought these silver salmon were decent sized fish, but then went after some Alaska Halibut fishing and ended up with a bunch of 30+ pounders along with some Alaska Ling Cod and one yellow eye rockfish. See the entire slayfest of our Seward Alaska fishing charter
