Jj is an extremely good fisherman and even though none of us really like fishing inside Resurrection Bay he had the choice to cancel the majority of this week or fish the bay. He discussed the options with clients each day and each day the decision was to go fishing. Captain Jj and his wife Annie who is deckhanding for him this week suffered through the cold wind and rain and worked around the islands inside the bay. They managed to get limits of Halibut and Silver Salmon (Coho's) each day. Although in the bay the tendency is that the Halibut will be small and hard to find Jj was able to get limits and even pulled in a few in the 30- 40 pound range.

We are coming up on the tail end of this weather and hoping to be back outside the bay by this weekend.
