August 1st
I would have to say WOW July was great the weather worked with us and the fish, well their on the stringer. The Salmon the Halibut and the Rockfish all ended up in the freezer, I can’t wait to see how this next month will turns out. Today my man Fly Bob brought some friends we focused on filling the fish box and we succeeded. And yes, he used his fly rod and boated all his fish on flies.

Everyday is a great day for fishing today my wife Jennifer and my oldest boy DJ came up to visit. DJ will be deck handing for me the rest of this month. We caught lots of fish and had a huge Halibut take one girl for a long ride before she lost the fish at the boat; it was a great day for fishing. I was fishing next to a good fried and captain Justin from the boat Just-N-Time he was lucky enough to land this huge fish, I am putting this pick up so you can get an Idea of the one we lost at the boat.

Today was a good day for chasing it all, these guy’s work all summer in Alaska and they chose to fish with me, it makes me proud and you can bet that these pictures show they filled the fish box. As you can tell my boy DJ had a busy day his first day on the job. I say it all the time, when you fish with me your not a client you’re a fishing buddy.

Buck asked me if he was going to catch fish on this fishing trip, this is what I had to say at the end of the day, “O Ya”! Thanks Buck I had a great time.

We know how to have a good time, these folks work hard all summer and chose to spend one of their last day’s in Alaska fishing with me. Thank you; hope you have a great winter. –Randy

Aug 9th
I am often asked “I can’t fish will I have fun”? Or “my family does not have much fishing experience is that ok’? All I say is YES, we want you to come to Alaska and have the thrill of a lifetime no matter what your experience level is. Today this young man landed his first Halibut and he taught everyone in his family how it was done.

At the Summer Solstice Festival in Moose Pass I auctioned off a fishing trip for to the proceeds went to the Moose Pass city Library. And of course we caught fish, however the camera was hurt by salt water, sorry.
Aug 11th-14th

Aug 16th- 17th
Well it doesn’t look like the fishing is going to slow down anytime soon.

Tomorrow is the last day to fish the Russian River for Salmon, and these guys have got it booked-n-hooked. The hike is about 2.5 miles in to the fishing spot, you catch more fish in a small stream then you ever thought could fit in a huge river.

Fly Bob did it he got his Lingcod on a fly rod, but his buddy landed this halibut on a salmon rod and 20lb test line. Keep trying Bob.

What a great grandfather, Ron brought his granddaughter to Alaska to catch Salmon, and she did.
Aug 25th
I never like to say it’s time to go, but it is. What a great fishing season this was not only did we catch fish, memories to last a life time were made. Thanks all who fished with me and I hope to see you all again. I am sorry if my posting on the fishing report us not always “on time” I will try harder next year. Enjoy those full freezers and keep those lines tight!!
