Craig, Alaska 2012 Season

Prince of Wales Island Fishing Adventures from the 2012 Season!

Summer is officially over and we completed our last fishing trip on September 15th. First of all, before the season started I told myself I would post daily catch reports on the website blog. Needless to say, it never happened. Too busy catching fish, preparing for the next day, and trying to squeeze in a little sleep. So, I apologize for not keeping everyone up to date on our daily kills and releases.  I would like to thank everyone who was able to join me this summer. It is always a pleasure to fish with those who have returned to join me in my 7 years of guiding (and 2 years at Tranquil Charters).

Now on with the fishing! Overall, this year was another outstanding season.  Although we had a few slow early-June king salmon days we did get into some great halibut, lingcod, yelloweye and black sea bass fishing grounds. I was also able to get some great action pictures and videos that I will be adding to the website in the next few months.

Here are a few pictures to summarize the summer and to get you started thinking about locking in your dates for the 2013 season. I have already begun taking reservations and it won't be long before the peak dates are filled. I am also planning to attend the Pacific Northwest Sportsmen's Show in Portland, Oregon during the week of February 6-10th, 2013.

Here is a link to a video put together by Jeff Lund, from one day of fishing. Thank you, Jeff. (His father was my high school band teacher): YouTube Fishing Video
