I was on swiftsure the 18th, 19th 20th and 21. We limited every day on 13-18 lb Chinook. East side, right on the boarder, fishing mostly alone. Unbelievable bait, krill, whales, sea lions ducks etc along the rips. Released a lot of small fish, many coho and some frankenfish. The offshore boat armada was on the table top/west side most of the weekend and we stayed away from them. They were within 100 ft of each other trolling on one spot. Wind Song came near us on the east side one day in pea soup fog and they had 13 limits on board that night at the dock. My friends down at skagway were getting fish in the low 20s but they were trolling for hours on end to get one.

My friends at Seiku blanked the week before. ten years of going there and they had never been skunked for three days straight in the beginning of July. No Chinook at the dock either. Feel bad for Van Rippers.

I was out this morning at possession and no point and Ive never seen it where there was just no signs of bait. Some ducks, no bait marking at all. I got to double bluff/ skunk bay and marked very little bait if at all.

Where are the herring?

Does this have something to do with he Haida Indians dumping 165 tons of sulfate off of Vancouver Island this year?
