The ClubHouse Reports

june 12, 2005

Early June and the fishing is good!! Tuesday, Wednesday and today have each shown improvements in both the number and size of Chinooks. Terry Simpson’s 40 pounder caught this morning just before he climbed on board his helicopter bodes well for today’s newly arriving guests!! Cut & plug herring continue to be the guides choice and Cohoe Point through to McPherson Point continues to be the place to fish. Good size Halibut are being found in greater numbers than last season. Brad Badeau’s 95-pound hali topped this trip’s list but there were several in the 50’s and 60’s that made for interesting fishing. Winds this afternoon are picking up from the south; probably assuring that the west side of the island will be popular tomorrow.

Fishing at The Clubhouse continues to present Chinooks averaging 17 to 24 pounds this past week. All areas from McPherson Point to Gunia Point are producing with the sheltered bays of Dibrell and Explorer offering fine relief from the mildly to strong easterly and southeasterly winds. Sunday brought some very good action and this points to some stronger results. Joseph Ecker, from Mobile Alabama, brought in to the delight of his friends, a beautiful 135-pound halibut Saturday. Look forward to getting back to you with my next report June 9th.

Our first guests of the 2005 Season enjoyed great weather and an abundance of wild life. Orcas in the hundreds, hump back whales, sea lions and the occasional dolphin entertained everyone. Spring salmon were relatively small in size (18-24 lbs) but 11 tyees showed up on the dock with the largest scaling out at 39.5lbs. Fishing was somewhat erratic, with Gunia Point, Pillar Bay and Cohoe Point all enjoying sporadic success. Cut and plug herring set out 15 to 18 pulls seemed to deliver the best results for the dedicated fisher. We’re all anticipating this summer’s first big run.
