For those of you that are on your way up to Sitka in the next few weeks to partake of a little king salmon fishing, here's a little update for you. I traded emails with Eddy Sisom of Scales and Tales and Tom Ohaus of Angling Unlimited to find out that the king salmon fishing out of Sitka has really turned on the past few days. Most of the fish are in the lower 20's with a few into the low 30's. Nice respective fish! This is typically the start of the king salmon season and will continue till the start of the commercial troll season the first of July.
Here's a couple of photos that were emailed to me from this AM's fishing by Eddy Sisom and Jim Ferro. Jim's fish (top photo) is a very typical king for this time of year in the low 20's. Eddy's fish (bottom photo) is a little nicer specimen just at the 30 mark. Looks like they had a "Great" day in the ocean by both the looks of the fish and the water conditions.
