We are seeing loads of Chinook in the 20-30 lb class We are now seeing some nice size Coho starting to show up into the 12-lb. range. The pinks are now starting to show up in more numbers too. The hot spots the past week have again been Duval Island or Castle Point on the Deserter Group. Trolling a cut plug herring or anchovies between 40 and 70 feet have been very effective. The halibut fishing last week was very good with Keith Chadwick of Boise hooking into a 106 lb monster behind Duncan Is. Darbie Doerge, of Bothell, WA. and his fishing partner Pat Burdick of Ephrata, WA arranged for a day of halibut fishing with our guides and were not disappointed maybe a little wore out though. They caught their limit of halibut and the largest was 89 lbs. If anyone wants to arrange a day of guided fishing please do it a head of time as our guides get quite busy. The cost is $750 Cdn. or approx. $635 US. this is based on 8 hours of fishing. The humpback whales but on a show for everyone the past week at
the lodge. We could sit on the dock and watch them breach. There
was reports everyday from guests at the lodge seeing them. There
was also the occasional sighting of killer whales. Tom Makinson

Well
we have a new leader in the Duval Point Lodge Fishing Derby, Jo-Anne
Slaughter, of Lake Stevens, Washington, is now in the lead with
a 40-lb Chinook. Jo-Anne also bought a ticket in the Filomi Day’s
Fishing Derby held every year in Port Hardy and won the top fish
for the week. With winning this prize came $1000 worth of cash and
prizes. Way to go Jo-Anne. Jo-Anne’s husband, Al Slaughter
also managed to hook into a nice Chinook 34lbs. and claim one of
our coveted “Over 30-lb Club” hats. Besides going home
with these 2 nice fish Jo-Anne and Al managed to go home with their
limit of Chinook and Coho.
