Seward, Alaska - Saltwater Fishing Report
Gulf of Alaska/ Montague
Today was a unique day for us. While trolling for Kings we watched a couple of Orcas for a couple of hours. Our clients had the thrill of seeing them up fairly close but the down side is that they wreacked havoc on the King bite. We weren't the only ones chasing the Kings and although we are good they are better.
We did manage to catch 6 Kings on a slow bite and then moved out to fish for Halibut. We got a limit of Halibut although none over 65 pounds.
