Sunday was a blast out of Bender Park in Oak Creek, the morning charter went 10-15 with a mix of steelhead, brown trout, a 9lb coho and small chinook. I tried as hard as I could to find 1 laker for the slam with no avail. The PM charter went 8-11 (one shaker went back), fishing was a little slower to start as I gave them the option of going for a limit of 4-8lb fish or 1 or 2 big fish. They decided to go for broke and get a few big fish. I set up in 40fow and while settin

This past weekend has had it's up and downs but overall it was a great weekend. I started out Friday evening after a line of thunderstorms passed and ended up 4-8 in only a few hours of fishing with a good friend.

Shortly after losing that fish my next rod peeled back with a 5lb steelhead. We worked out to my wave points I was on the previous day and as I looke

I got out Monday morning with a good friend and decided to run a little deeper than usual. I set up just shy of one of my deeper wave points and it didn't take long to get into some healthy chinooks and cohos. As I was in the process of straightening up the boat 5mins after getting all the rods set, the first board went screaming back. While Brittany was fighting that fish, I looked over and saw my down rigger bouncing away. That fish ended up getting off but we started the m

Saturday I competed in the 2016 Brew City Salmon Tournament hosted out of Milwaukee WI. I had no clue where I was going to fish seeing Friday was a horrible day starting by cracking my oil reservoir cap and having to drive close to 100 miles round trip to get one. At 0530 when we were released I decided to let the entire field blow past me to see where the majority of them were going. As I suspected everyone blew north, which was my game plan but after seeing NOAA was a hair
