Tracey and I met up with Tim W and Tim G in Yakutak Alaska last Sunday morning .
we jumped on a bush plane and took the 60 mile flight to the remote Icy Bay camp.
Scenery was unreal , and only got better each day .
after settling in and meeting everyone that would make our stay there feel more like we were staying with family .
Capt Mike gave us the run down that we would bottom fish Monday Tuesday Thursday and Friday.
wednesday halibut is closed . So we would bottom fish for rockfish, troll some for salmon and head off to see one of the local glaciers .
i could really write a book about how great this vacation was, but will try and keep it short, possibly adding more later .
Fishing in the Capt eyes was slow he said only a 5/10: well it was some of the most action I have ever seen .
we were into fish at a very steady rate for well over 8 hours each day.
we gathered glacier ice for the fish box daily to keep our catch cool
we caught yellow eye rockfish, black rockfish, long cod, halibut and salmon .
fishing with both Tim’s made this trip a lot of fun as each angler got just as much enjoyment seeing others fighting fish .
due to us having only 4 in our party the staff each came and fished with us a day making this trip even more special . As they worked tirelessly each day for us.
the food was nothing short of 5 star , def exceeded our expectations daily with unreal 4 course meals.
wednesday mike flew a drone up through the glazier, and I was able to land my best catch of the trip.
followed by a special 4th of July feast made to happen by Tim W of gigantic king crab legs .
we also trapped spotted prawns on Wednesday.
i was sick as a dog Monday, travel and time changes really wrecked my system bad, but fished through it and made some of the catches even more memorable
enjoy the pics
