Seward weekend report

Good weekend on the water! We went out Saturday,  camped on the beach at Derby Cove,  and landed 3 silvers.  Got the first one on Saturday,  just past the old dock  pillars. It was a nice fish (pictured below) ...And the only one we got that day.  Fish were marking all the way out,  and there were quite a few boats out. 

Sunday morning,  we meandered our way back toward Lowell Pt.  About one cove up from Derby Cove,  fish were making g everywhere in the 90+ ft water.  I got a nice 26" silver,  and then just 15 minutes later got the big guy pictured below 32" from nose to tip of his tail.

All 3 were on plug herring following a silver flasher. Water got chopping and the wind came up this afternoon,  so we just focused on getting out,  so didn't fish from Tonsina (sp?) on in. 

My wife got one quill back out south of Caines Head... Nothing else.  I attribute my fortune to having waded into belt-high water to help out a guy whose boat had busted free from the anchor while he slept Saturday night,  and wound up in a little pocket just around a rock point at the end of Derby C beach.  A group of us pushed his 18' boat back off the beach... Good karma (and I hope to find my 'boys'  descending back out sometime this week... Pardon me,  akfishergal...  ) 

Anyway... That big fish made my summer!  Good fish still out there to be had all along the east side,  it seems. Enjoy.

Great report!  I went out for a few hours Sunday. Split my time between silvers and halibut. Caught two rockfish trolling and nothing but sculpins on the bottom.

Launched in flat water, ended up being battered by 2 to 3 ft waves and small whitecaps at the end.

Nice fish!!!!! 32" is beauty!!!!!!!!

That's a great report and a beautiful fish! Your reward for getting your wife on fish the last time. And it looks like conditions were nice too. Beautiful day. But with a fish like that big one, it would be a beautiful day even with snow.

Sounds like the guy with the skiff got pretty lucky with help near at hand. Maybe there's some measuring scale for cold water body impacts. It could be called the Michie scale.Where every hour of delayed descent converts to 10 degrees below normal body temperature on exposure.

That's a bad azz Coho!  Sounds like a great weekend.

I hope you find your "boys" before they get reabsorbed.
