http://www.hmbfishing.comABSOLUTELY WIDE OPEN, IT-JUST-DON'T-GET-BETTER-THAN-THIS salmon fishing today. Last time we had fishing like this was back in 2004, one of the best salmon seasons on record. We landed LIMITS for 24 anglers today, 48 salmon, and, to top it off, biggest fish was a HUGE 34 pounder. Second place was no slacker tipping the scales at 21 pounds. Capt. Bob reported that there were LOTS of 15 to 18 pound fish landed and the average was simply "BIG". By 9:30 in the morning he called in and said one of our fish boxes was absolutely plugged by the first 20 fish that made it onboard. An ungodly number of fish were lost during the pure pandamonium that took place, with several of those easily over the 20 pound mark. So for those who were waiting for BIG fish and LOTS of fish, you missed a good one...today was the day. And that's just how salmon fishing goes. Every day is different. Will it happen again tomorrow? Or the day after? Or next week? My standard answer remains the same: you never know how the day is going to go until you put the lines in the water. You want to catch a salmon? Then quit wishing and go fishing. Tomorrow's trip on Sunday is full, but we have room every day right now next week except for Wednesday and Saturday.

Don't know where Bob's been fishing or how deep; I know he prefers to fish shallow but he fishes where conditions permit, where the fish are biting and where he feels our clientele on a given......

With the first fish in the box on the Queen of Hearts by a little after 7:30, and a chunky 26 pounder landing with a thud by 10:00 along with another handful of fish, we had a downright decent day and ended up with 11 keepers landed for our 20 anglers. Years past that would have been nothing to brag about, but now that it's sunk in that the salmon are not going to come easy this season, it's a......
