2023 End-Season Ramblings
Placeholder Image
Hello to all of Saltwater Cowboys' loyal followers!

To those of you who didn't make it out or had to cancel last season due to the fire and road closure, I understand completely and hope we can get together in 2024. I'm planning to head out to the coast around the end of May, and really hoping to recoup at least some of the trips that we lost. I am fully set up for offshore halibut now as well, and we've had great success catching them so far.
(see the pics, below)
The largest halis landed to date are 129cm and 122cm, or 67 and 45 lbs respectively, and since the limits went from 133 cm to 126cm last season we've been very close to the maximum allowable size each of the last two years. We caught several in the 12 to 25 lb range as well, which made for some very happy guests!

As for salmon, the average size has increased substantially with the Alaska closures, and we've brought several fish over 20 lbs into the boat. Ling Cod are getting bigger every season as well, especially since the Canadian Princess boats shut down operations a few years back, so our guests are taking loads of ground fish home with their Coho and Chinook.

I'm truly looking forward to seeing many of our regulars back next season, and look forward to fighting and landing some big fish together.

Book now for an amazing fishing experience in 2024!

"Tight Lines to All!"
