Fish are finally moving! https://www.kcaw.org/2026/08/07/pink-salmon-show-up-late-in-southeast-alaska/

Today, was more incredible than yesterday, and yesterday was spectacular. Here is some of the footage from today's hunt about 5 miles off of Carmel Beach.

The hunt started off in a pod of 1500 Common Dolphins, but they left the area in a big hurry leaving only 2 dolphins for the Orcas to target.

We have seen the CA140B's and CA50B the past two days, we never know when we might see them again.

This is my first deckload in Alaska in 1998!

It’s that time of year again! Boats are gearing up, crews are heading north, and Alaska summer fishing is here.

Good luck to everyone going out this year. Hope you find fish, make some money, stay safe, and come home with a few good stories.

And to the new guys — hang in there. The first couple weeks can be rough. You’ll be tired, wet, sore, confused, and probably wondering what you got yourself into.

That’s normal. Push through it.

It’s only a couple months, and the hard days don’t last forever. Keep your head down, listen, learn, work hard, and don’t quit on your worst day.

Stay safe out there and don't be lazy. Remember, it might be the best adventure of your life. Enjoy it!
