Pelican AK 7/3 - 7/8

Fished 4 days for kings (1 per season), coho, halibut, yellow eye (1 per season), black cod, and lings.

The lings were huge up there. They ranged between 42-45”.  We released several of these, but got to keep them when we crossed the Yakutat line, about a 25 mile run.

My daughter got lucky with a rare Ivory King and a 63.5” 114lb butt.

The fishing was great, but the quaint town, amazing scenery, lodge and staff all made it a truly great trip.

Thank you for the great report.  Hope my wife and I will make a fishing trip to AK soon.

Great report! Thanks for sharing.

Great to see your report.   

Eric, Congrats on an awesome trip!

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted. I still kayak fish about once a year for rockfish, only because it’s hard to turn down boat invites.

I enjoy reading all the reports and seeing how we still get it done!  Looking forward to the September fall salmon opener.

Thanks for the report. Alaska is still on my  short list. 

Great pic of you next to that beautiful camo-colored Hali. Post some pics of the cookings. 

A trip like that will totally spoil.  Following your footsteps in 2026 sometime

Sounds like you and family had a wonderful time in AK.  Thanks for the report and pictures Stuart.
