. Turnout was decent considering that a good number of our club members were attending the yearly Mexico trip to Van Wormer s resort. With that said, those who were in attendance had a great meeting. We held our monthly membership drawing, supported by Southworth Marine, and there was no winner. That means the January drawing will be $260 there will be no drawing at our Christmas party in December . We didn t have many fishing reports this month so hopefully the members who were in Mexico picked up the slack. It did sound like deep water crabbing in area 13 was doing okay and the squid in regions 11 and 13 seem to be plentiful. (gigharborpsa.org)

Sport fishing in Bristol Bay generates $60 million annually; anglers looking for “once in a lifetime” experiences on rivers like the Nushagak, Mulchatna, Koktuli and Kvichak support more than 800 full- and part-time jobs.

Development will also negatively affect opportunities for sport fishing and hunting functionings in the neighborhood by diminishing the quality of the experience. In spite of the remote nature of the region and the costs related with traveling to it, on a yearly base up to 65, 000 visitors come to Bristol Bay for recreational opportunities to fish, hunt, and view wildlife.

After passing the Broken Islands, conditions in Johnstone Strait were a 1-2 foot chop. Fanny Island was reporting worse. After some hours, I approached Fanny Island and, as is common, there were perplexed seas, which quickly grew to 4-6 feet, just the point where it’s uneasy. I pushed on and once past Fanny Island, the seas broke to flat calm. My friends behind me were prepared to bail out and take one of the channels north. I suggested on the VHF that they hang in there for another mile. They did and were pleasantly surprised at how the seas flattened out. At Helmecken Island, we had a choice: go north through Current Passage or south through Race Passage – recognized for more turbulent waters. (waggonerguide.com)

Only time will tell. (Visit their website)
