prince of wales island Fishing Report 2025

heavy rain today was no joke. the wind was howling too! we only managed a couple fish, but they were big! a 30lb halibut and a few small rockfish. used my heavy tackle but had to constantly adjust for the wind. overall, it was tough but i love a challenge!

finally some better weather today! just a little patchy rain, and the fish were on fire. got a nice mix of halibut and salmon. we were fishing around the shallows with my new rod setup, loved it! total haul of 6 fish, couldn't be happier! got to love this place!

whoa, what a rainy trip! we were out for hours and only got 2 bites. ended up with one king salmon, but it was a good fight. fished with a downrigger and some herring bait. the winds were wild! but hey, even a bad day fishing is better than a good day at work, am i right?

another damp day on the island. i went in the morning and tried my luck around some rocky areas, got 3 nice cods! had my 15lb rod with a lighter tackle. they weren't massive but enough for some good dinners. weather was chill but manageable. can't complain when the fish cooperate!

back out on prince of wales today, it was a heavier rain unfortunately. but i caught a beauty of a halibut, around 40lbs! used a big herring for bait, just dropped it down and let it sit. the wind picked up like crazy tho, had to hold on tight! good times despite the weather.
