Last year we fished just off Kalinin Point in Salisbury Sound with good results. Today we exited Piper Island at 8 and were fishing at 9am. Several other boats had the same idea and we ran into two other Selenes, Spirit and Serena, fishing the same Point. We trolled with lures as there was no bait aboard. After a couple hours, Spirit had their first King salmon and despite a couple bottom fish hookups, we had none in the box. We did however manage hook the downrigger on the bottom, which required us to cut the cable and leave behind a nice 12 pound lead ball. Oh well. We soon set a course for Sitka with Spirit and Serena following. We docked at Eliason Harbor by 3pm.
