Fishing Report April 25, 2011,
Fishing around Great Bear has started to pick up for feeder Chinooks. There are also some Chinook being caught around Sail Rock, however our boats have been generally fishing with good success around Great Bear. There is lots of needlefish around and that is a very good sign for things to come. Needlefish are a small narrow bait that is rich in fat content.

Most of the Chinook caught this time of year are between 7-15lbs, however you can get them up to 30lbs as well.

Halibut fishing was good most of the year near the Wreck as well as Big Bank. We limited out most days while targeting halibut.
