Fishing Report for September 14, 2004
[url "javascript:popup('resregs.cfm');"]Emergency Orders and Regulation Changes[/url] Fall Fishing Report Salt Waters
Halibut / Rockfish / Lingcod [ul] [li]Halibut should be fair to good through September, but will eventually slow as these large flatfish move into deep winter spawning areas. [li]Anglers should read and understand the rockfish regulations before fishing. When weather permits anglers to get out of the Bay and into North Gulf Coast waters, fishing has been good. Rockfish are still available during September to those anglers willing to try. [li]Lingcod fishing is open through Dec. 31 in the North Gulf Coast waters. Lingcod may only be landed by hand or with a landing net, and must be 35 inches in total length. Lingcod fishing inside Resurrection Bay is ALWAYS closed. If you harvest a lingcod outside Resurrection Bay you cannot fish on the way back to Seward. [/li][/ul]
Salmon [ul] [li]Expect fair king salmon action during September. Fall trolling for king salmon is usually hampered by bad weather, it takes patience, but can be rewarding. [li]Silver salmon are inside Resurrection Bay. Boat anglers trolling off the city beaches should continue to have fair fishing. Beach anglers are now catching some nice fish, but expect this to slow in a week or so. Silvers can be caught off the beaches through September. [li]Trolling with cut herring on a squid lure with a flasher is always a good combination. If you prefer to use hardware, try a silver flasher and green terminal tackle. Snagging is the preferred method for most beach anglers. [li]Most sea-run Dollies are now in their fresh water streams and lakes to spawn and over-winter. [/li][/ul] Fresh Waters
Salmon -Resurrection Bay [ul] [li]There is no fresh water salmon fishing open in Resurrection Bay drainages [/li][/ul]
Trout [ul] [li]The fall fly-fishing season is upon us. Pack your belly boat in to Vagt or Carter lakes for good trout action. [/li][/ul] Northern Pike/Atlantic Salmon [ul] [li]Please report the catch of any northern pike or Atlantic salmon as soon possible to ADF&G at (907) 267-2218.[/li][/ul]
