Well, even in paradise you can fail to slay them. Our first day we faced a full gale and 17 foot swells. We still managed a chinook, a limit of halibut and a couple of coho. We quit at 11:00 as the combination of rain, wind big seas and slow fishing made us think we should make a retreat.

The next day we had 21 foot seas, but we found some shelter and ground out a couple of kings, a few silvers and a limit of halibut.

Day three we had relatively calm water - eight foot swells. We headed to the secret honey hole that had been wide open a few days before but the fish appeared to have moved. We still took one chinook 11 silvers as chum and an amazing eight pound pink, plus a limit of halibut and two ling cod.

Here are a few pix.

P.S. Robbo is still a great guy to spend a day or two fishing with.

My partner and I are already booked for next year. We may need two more . . .

P.P.S. Today a 50 plus and two 40 plus chinook were landed.
