Alaska Peninsula Silver Salmon

Catching Great Lakes cohos on plugs on planar boards or downriggers is fun, until you catch an Alaska silver. These silvers are fresh out of the saltwater and are as mean as a pitbull! The Alaska Peninsula offers the best silver fishing in Alaska. The Peninsula extends about 500 miles to the southwest from the mainland of Alaska, ending in the Aleutian Islands. One if not the best fishing lodge for monster silvers is Gary LaRose's Pumice Creek Lodge. The lodge is located about 376 air miles from Anchorage and 86 air miles from King Salmon. Here you are away from the Bristol Bay crowds. You will see more brown bears than humans. LaRose offers daily flyouts to the Cinder River for monster silvers. Days of landing over 50 silvers per person are the norm here rather than the exception. These silvers are mostly chrome bright having just come in from the salt still with sealice on them. The Alaska Peninsula offers some of the largest silvers in Alaska with some exceeding 20lbs. My guess is the average silver out of the Cinder River would be 12 pounds. LaRose limits groups up to six so you more or less have the river to yourself. A guide is with at all times always on the lookout for the brown bears. Fishing is normally done either wading with spinning or fly equipment. Pumice Creek Lodge also offers fantastic dolly varden/char fishing where catches of over 100 per fisherman are the norm. For silvers, the best time is toward the end of August and the beginning of September. Also during these months the char will be it total spawning coloration. This will be my 26th straight year battling the monster silvers on the Alaska Peninsula. Am already counting the days!! Check out www.garylarose.com for more info.

Papua New Guinea for 2014

The season for Papua New Guinea black bass in the Gulf Providence starts in June and ends in November. Jason Yip of www.sportfishingpng.net has a few openings remaining for trips into this remote region. Here, monster PNG black bass and huge barramundi await in perhaps the most remote area on earth! Jason personally takes groups up to 8 into this remote region and has exclusive rights to fish there per agreements with the local tribes. As some my know, Jason set the IGFA all tackle world record PNG bass will I was in camp a few years ago. The monster weighed in at 46lbs. Jason claims to have seen larger bass, but good luck in landing them. Having the opportunity to battle the best of the best freshwater fish on earth, the PNG black bass is at the top in terms of fighting strength! When I obtained a strike from a PNG bass weighing over 40lbs, I was literally pulled down to my knees! During trips, you will have the opportunity to visit remote tribal villages and possibly purchase a gift or 2. Some of these villages are so remote that they have yet to see a "white man". PLus, the noted "bird of paradise" only lives on this stretch of earth. This trip as mentioned is into very remote sections of earth, but it is quite safe under Jason's watchful eye. If you ever wanted to catch one of the top freshwater fish on earth, I highly recommend booking a trip with Jason. Contact Steve Yatomi at www.adventuretravelalliance.com or you can contact me at doradokiller@hotmail.com for questions regarding Jason's opeation. This is definatley a "Trip of a Lifetime" and you will have so many memories which will remain forever!

Fishing reports week of May 12

Capt. Eddue Bussard of www.basschallenger.com reports fantastic largemouth bass fishing during the week of May 12th. Eddie reports the shallow water rattle trap bite is on with catches over 100 bass being caught per day. Capt. Eddie fishes the local lakes around the Disney area in Florida so get down there right now to get into the action. I spent the week in NW Wisconsin in the Webster area fishing Yellow Lake. The ice went out a few weeks ago, but the weather is still very cold. A tremendous amount of rain took place this week practically all but making fishing impossible. With some warm weather, the crappie should start to stack up in the shallows for spawning. I figure another week and crappie fishing will be redhot plus the walleyes will become active in the shallows. Farther up north, a friend fished the Rainey River with good luck on walleye. The ice just went out and spawning is still taking place. Another friend had fantastic walleye fishing on Lake Erie out of the Bass Island area. Reports of numerous walleye over 30 inches are being reported. Have a few friends heading to LA to fish with Capt. Keith Kennedy of www.borntofishcharters.com. Once I get there report most likely of monster bull redfish will pass the news along.
