After we left Yes Bay we headed for Brow Point at Gedney Pass to troll for coho along the shore from Brow to Chin Point. About half way between Brow and Nose Point we hooked and landed a very nice, bright coho. We then headed for Neets Bay to try for prawns.The weather was deteriorating so we headed for an anchorage behind an unnamed island in the back half of Neets Bay. This bay was full of jumping coho, and several seine boats waiting for an opening of a catch period. There were also several charter boats sport fishing and cleaning up on the coho.
We went through the tricky entrance into the cove and set our anchor. The wind built and the rain came down in buckets. Toward evening the storm eased enough to allow us to go out and set the prawn trap and get back to our anchorage and reset the anchor.
By morning the storm had passed and we headed out for Ketchikan. We were disappointed with a similar catch in our prawn trap as we had at Black Island, crabby-l00king creatures.
On our way to Ketchikan, we went into Knudson Cove for fuel and lunch. We arrived at the Ketchikan Yacht Club late afternoon and after getting squared away, started laying plans for heading south for Bellingham Washington.More to come stay tuned,
George and JoAnne
