Queen of Hearts Sportfishing fish report 05-19-2007

The fish were chomping first thing this morning. As Capt. Bob put it, "the boat was lit up". Right off the bat we had four and five fish on at once. Only problem was that these were big fish, this was the first salmon experience for a lot of folks, and the weather was night and day different from yesterday. We were lucky to get one fish out of five even though with the action we had we easily should have had a fish per rod within the first hour of fishing. You name it, it happened: wrapped leaders, yanking on the rods, fish walked right into a tangle...absolute pandemonium. And to top it all off, the wind started howling again and the swell kept building as the day went on. If the weather was like yesterday, it probably would have been limit fishing. Would've, could've, should've... Anyway, it really does look like the fish have finally moved into our neck of the woods, so if we can get the weather to cooperate for a few days in a row, who knows.... The five day forecast is calling for the wind to continue, and tomorrow's trip on Sunday has been cancelled. We'll have to take it a day at a time to see if we'll be able to make it back out and hope the fish will be waiting for us.

Without a doubt today we saw the best action so far this season on the Queen of Hearts. Our 15 anglers were graced with flat out gorgeous weather and ended up hooking around 50 fish. About a dozen of those were shakers, another dozen were silvers, we probably lost about a dozen and we ended up with a fish per rod in the box, landing 15 salmon with the two biggest bottoming out the scales at 27 and 28 pounds.......

The winds finally calmed down...unfortunately just a tad too late for us for today, though. It was still howling until about 8:00 this morning, and by that time we had long since cancelled today's trip. Looks like the wind machine will be turned off for at least a day or two, so we'll see what tomorrow brings....... Read More
