[url "javascript:popup('resregs.cfm');"]Emergency Orders and Regulation Changes[/url] Salt Waters
Halibut [ul] [li]Halibut fishing outside the bay remains very good to excellent, with the best fishing still found to the east toward Montague Island. [li]Good halibut fishing can also be found west toward Aialik and Harris bays.[/li][/ul]
Salmon [ul] [li]The 49th Annual Seward Silver Salmon Derby is now underway and runs through Saturday, August 21, at 5 p.m. [li]Silver fishing in Resurrection Bay has slowed since last week, but plenty of fish are still being caught. [li]The Seward beach fishery remains typically slow this early in August, but jumpers are being seen right off the beach. Expect this fishery to improve at any time. [li]The silvers are big this year --two 18-pound silvers sit atop the derby leader board. There is also a $50,000 tagged silver still swimming in the waters of Resurrection Bay.[/li][/ul]
Other salt water fishing [ul] [li]Rockfish fishing continues to be good. Black rockfish continue to be the most caught species. [li]Lingcod fishing in North Gulf Coast waters (NGC) remains good.
