Well…..you can really tell when the season started to get so busy that we began to neglect the website updates. Here is a summary of the whole season with a few picture highlites:
May: Slow as expected, we had 2 good days and several really slow days. May 14th was an unusually good day for that time of year where we got really lucky and found a couple nice kings. This was the biggest one:

June: King Salmon fishing was just plain WEIRD in 2012. We expect it to be slow until sometime in June when they all show up and then to have a couple weeks of really good fishing; Thats how it’s supposed to work. This year, however, it was different. We had a great day followed by a couple slow days, then another great day followed my more slow fishing, it was really frustrating. Our best day of the King Salmon season we hit 3 fish on the morning trip and 5 more on the afternoon trip. Here is the picture from the end of the day:

We had several kids that caught beautiful King Salmon this season, here are two of the really memorable ones for me:

This young lady caught this right after I got done telling her that we probably wouldn’t catch any King Salmon as it was a little bit too late in the year (shows what I know!):

July and August: We were happy to have a very healthy Pink Salmon run this year that made for many happy fishermen and lots of dead fish. Although we had a couple of slower days, it was a rare exception and most passengers during this time frame caught about as many fish as they hoped for. The silvers were spotty on most of our 4 hour trips as they didn’t come within range of our shorter trips until well into September. On our 6 and 8 hour trips we were able to get out to the halibut grounds and find the silvers as well most days. Here are a few pictures of this time frame:
