Tillamook County Represented

Several current and previous Tillamook County residents were in Coffman Cove at the same time. This was an unplannned surprise for all!

Conference Time

Chris, Pat, Mike, Larry, & Tom seem to be discussing the art of fishing while their catch is being filleted on the dock.

Chris is happy!

This is the biggest fish of his life. Way to pick it up off the dock, Chris!

Bringing the halibut in...

Chris drags his fish to the dock with a smile on his face.

Tom Totes Fish

The new boat dock requires a short walk to the fillet station.

3 Halibut Haul

While he didn't catch all of these fish, Larry was glad to help carry them to the cleaning dock.

Mike does his share, too.

All of the bottom fish were carried by the fishermen.

James at the Dock

Watch out for those spines!

Quillback spines are painful to touch. Capt. Lee & Vaughn like to see such large specimens. (Photo courtesy of James Davis III.)

Mixed Group

There were 4 separate groups of fishermen on the Silver Talon this day. Looks like their excursion was successful.

They're back!

Aaron, Micah, and Josiah brought their cousin Rich for fishing with Captain Lee in 2010. They were in Coffman Cove in 2007 and we welcome them back! (Photo courtesy of Aaron Kipperberg.)

Great fishing!

Micah caught a silver salmon and was happy to share the experience. (Photo courtesy of Aaron Kipperberg.)

Josiah Yelloweye

This is a terrific example of a Yelloweye, also known as Red Snapper. (Photo courtesy of Aaron Kipperberg.)

Aaron & His Silver

Josiah, Aaron, Rich, & Micah

Catching halibut like these will put a smile on your face, too! (Photo courtesy of Aaron Kipperberg.)

Pulling into the dock...

The new facility in Coffman Cove makes the days on the water end smoothly.

A little help....

The sons assisted Capt. Lee offload the day's catch.

What a Display!

Catching and showing off a dandy halibut can turn into a habit, if you're not careful.

Fathers & Sons

Fishing with Captain Lee on the Silver Talon makes great memories for families.

Watching The Captain...

Roger and David stayed on the dock after their charter to see their fish being filleted.

Great Day!

David and Roger should be proud of their halibut catch.

The Smiths Were in Town

Cody, Adam, Bryce, and Sean were pleased to show off their catch of salmon, halibut, and assorted bottom fish with Capt. Lee.

The Fine Art of Filleting a Halibut

Captain Lee shows the Smith family how he expertly fillets a halibut.

Full Tote!

Wow! That's a lot of fish! Nice fishing, gentlemen!

Cody & the Yelloweyes

Cody shows off this pair of nice yelloweye caught on the Silver Salmon when he fished with his dad and brothers.

Salmon Spread

On their third day of fishing, the Smiths focused on salmon and it shows!

What a view!

Fishing near the Triplets offers fishermen some spectacular scenery.

Dave is a happy fisherman!

Catching this halibut put a big smile on his face. It works for us, too!

A Day Off

When he doesn't have a charter, Captain Lee can often be found fishing on the Silver Talon with friends.

Happy Halibut Fisherwoman!

Although Marni didn't catch of these fish, she was happy to pose with them for this photo. She was a pleasure to have on the boat!

"This is how I do it."

KC and Marni are learning how Lee takes care of halibut at the fillet table.

Jigging is the key...

Keeping the gear bouncing off the bottom guarantees your bait is close to where the big halibut can find it.

Surprise!

Sometimes the humpback whales come up feeding right by the boat.

First King Salmon of 2010!

Roger & David were terrific to have on the Silver Talon early in the season.

Same cleaning station...

in a new location. The docks have been expanded and are much nicer for the larger boats and commercial crafts.

First charter of 2010

KC, Joe, & Dave enjoyed a day of fishing with Captain Lee. It was a great way to start the summer season!

Colorful Fish!

This was a wonderful catch of beautiful bottomfish in August 2009.

A Colorful Group

The fish and fishermen are full of color on this day of fishing.

Where'd they go?

Dennis and Richard disappeared before this photo was taken. We look forward to seeing them again next year & appreciate their continued visits to Coffman Cove.

Fish on!

Captain Lee prepares the harpoon for the halibut Lonnie has on the end of his line.

What a day!

That's a dandy halibut!

Batman!

This bat has come in handy for the captain more than once this summer.

Taking pics....

and there were plenty of fish worthy of photos on the dock. Nice job, gentlemen!

Halibut Heaven

The halibut are finally moving into the area and these fishermen took advantage of it.

Video Star!

Look for this fish on a youtube video..... coming soon!

A cooler full of halibut fillets!

Doesn't it look delicious?

Tremendous Catch!

This halibut was bigger than the one caught the day before.

Big halibut!

The halibut just got bigger and bigger all week long!

Gone fishin'!

Wait 'til you see what they got that evening after dinner.

Chris and the fish...

This was the largest halibut caught by the group this week. Chris said he couldn't have done it without Capt. Lee's guidance and instruction earlier in the week.

Father and Son

.... and a great big halibut!

That's fashion!

Coffman Cove style.

One.... two..... three....

This was the first of 3 photos taken and the fisher was glad to put that fish down!

Hats for all!

Captain Lee distributes hats to the clients after a day of fishing.

A shiny circle of silver...

And some very happy fishermen!

What an honor!

Carl painted this portrait of Capt. Lee because he believes it is "one of the greatest faces on the planet." We couldn't be more pleased. Thank you, Carl, for the fine piece of art. It was a wonderful surprise! (Photo courtesy of Nichole Bercot.)

Friendship & Fishing

Luke, Dick, and Jim shared a tremendous day of fishing on the Silver Talon. (Photo courtesy of Nichole Bercot.)

Silver Lining

Steve, Alec, Carey, and Ben found this silver lining along with a few halibut. Not a bad way to celebrate Alec's graduation! (Photo courtesy of Nichole Bercot.)

Another sunny day...

2009 was a year of many warm days and great fishing.

"Now you cut here..."

Captain Lee gave a lesson in halibut filleting to several interested parties down on the dock.

Larry Yelloweye

Larry loves his new glasses and so do we!

Nice Salmon!

This fish will feed a crowd.

Muscle Men!

These fishers should off their strength after a good day of fishing.

Another terrific year!

Larry's been here for 5 years and we appreciate him bringing his friends.

A Presentation

Janmarie presented this special t-shirt to her dad Larry, courtesy of her mom Jan.

What is this?

We think it's a snailfish of some kind. What do you think?

Showing off their catch...

Steve, Alec, and Carey were proud of their catch. And they should be!

Big Lingcod

Nichole caught a beauty!

That's one nice silver salmon. (Photo courtesy of Nichole Bercot.)

Tasty Fish!

Nichole says that halibut is almost as big as she is. We agree! (Photo courtesy of Nichole Bercot.)

Lee & the Girls

Nichole, Linda, and Patti spent the day fishing with Captain Lee. Looks like it was a a successful day. (Photo courtesy of Nichole Bercot.)

All Smiles!

Captain Lee and Linda are happy to be on the boat having a great time. (Photo courtesy of Nichole Bercot.)

Spinner Fishing

Whale Pass was a great place to spinner fish for Silvers in 2009.

Hey, Phil....

Turn around! The fish are behind you! Actually, the fish were EVERYWHERE in Whale Pass this year.

Limited Out

Even after the fishing's done, the silvers are still jumping!

Circle of friends & fish...

John, Ben, Capt. Lee, Anne, and Da had a successful day of fishing in Clarence Strait.

Anne & Da

This couple is a welcome addition to our photo gallery.

Anne shows off the Lingcod...

while John surveys the rest of the catch.

John wanted to catch a halibut....

And he did!!!!

John & Terry

It was terrific to have our friends in Coffman Cove!

Leaning Dock & Sign

This group helped the photo by leaning with the sign. Thanks, guys!

At the dock...

Capt. Lee begins unloading fish as the fishermen pose for this photo.

Return Trip

We were honored to have this group of fishers back on the Silver Talon for a second year. Nice catch!

Two Silvers

Those are beautiful fish!

Delicious Fish!

Pete will enjoy this yelloweye.

Ben & Alex compare Coho...

and it was close!

Silver Limit

Lee, Aaron, Justin, Barb, and Ben had a great day of fishing and friendship on the Silver Talon.

5 on one hand!

Lee put 5 silvers on one hand, Aaron had 2 on each, and Justin showed off one on each hand.

Cool octopus!

There's more than halibut on the bottom of the ocean in Alaska.

Check out this spread...

It was hard to hold on to, but these fishermen did a fine job of hanging on to a slippery octupus. Nice silvers, too!

Getting the right angle>>>

This fisher wanted to get the perfect photo.

Tremendous catch!!!

The silvers were cooperative, to say the least. Along with the sunshine, the bottom fish, and the halibut that was caught as the line was being reeled in for the last time.

Great catch!

That's one nice halibut.

2009 King Fishing is ON!!

The other fish are coming in nicely, too.

Is that a rock?

No, it's a humpback surfacing near the Silver Talon.

48" Ling!!!

Barb caught this impressive lingcod during her charter with Ben, Ron, & Jackie (camera shy). Looks like they got some other dandy fish, too. (Photo courtesy of Nichole Bercot)

Jerrod caught a nice halibut!

He's a great fisherman. Capt. Lee enjoyed having Jerrod on the boat.

1st Charter of 2009 Fishing Season!

Buddy and Sean had a successful day of fishing with Captain Lee. What a terrific way to start the summer! (Photo courtesy of Justin Roth.)

Fishing for halibut...

August can be a wonderful time to fish in Southeast Alaska!

A Rainy Day....

Rain didn't dampen the spirits or the talent of these fishermen.

Cohos/Silver Salmon

These are beautiful fish!

Impressive!

That's a nice assortment of fish. Well done!

Looks great!

It's terrific to catch enough different kinds of fish to make an interesting pattern.

Family Fishing

This family spends a lot of time fishing together. We enjoyed having them on the Silver Talon very much!

The Best Catch

Each of these fishermen picked their favorite fish to show off. You can see why!

Holding his limit!

Just try to hold 6 silvers at the same time. We're impressed!

What a smile!

Could anyone be happier about catching a halibut?

This fish is heavy!

But she can handle it with ease and a smile. Her enthusiasm is contagious.

Sisters...

These young ladies make fishing look like a lot of fun.

Excellent catch!

It was a successful day fishing for these fishermen.

Showing off the halibut...

It's not easy to hold 2 halibut like this, but he had to try it.

More showing off...

Okay, let's give him a try, too.

Another one has to show off his catch...

and he's pretty happy to do it.

Biggest show off of all!

Captain Lee holds these halibut with just 2 fingers.

Terrific Yelloweye!

What a wonderful specimen of this type of fish. Thanks for showing it off.

Ron has a halibut on!

The water was a little bumpy, but it didn't stop Ron from catching a nice halibut.

Tyler hooked this Ling Cod!

This fish was as big as fishermen in Alaska are allowed to keep. Good work, Tyler! He also caught a lot of bottom fish.

Family Portrait

Grand-dad Ron and Tyler fished successfully on the Silver Talon. Both of these beautiful fish (a Ling Cod & a big Yelloweye) were caught by Tyler.

The sun shone for the photos...

It had been raining a bit on the Silver Talon and at the dock, but it stopped long enough to get some photos of Capt. Lee, Tyler, Ron, and Ben with the catch of the day.

Legal Ling Cod

There haven't been many Ling Cod at the dock this year, so it was great to see Vince catch such a nice specimen.

Bob's Halibut

Bob was proud of his catch and you can see why!

Fishing friends...

Larry, Bob, Vince, and Allan spent 3 days fishing with Captain Lee. They didn't mind having Ben along to fill his own fish boxes with tasty Alaskan fish and we appreciated their generosity.

Captain Lee was thrilled...

This catch made Megan, Kevin, Larry, Ben, and Rob (in front) just as happy.

A bit of perspective...

Those halibut really do look big (they were!) when you put Ben's 6'5" frame near them.

Go, Kevin!

Kevin was able to lift this monster clear off the dock.

Pick it up, Megan!

The smile on her face is enough to show that Megan had another terrific day on the boat with Captain Lee.

Rob's a happy man!

He enjoyed catching a big halibut on a calm summer day.

Rob & Larry lift their catch together...

but it wasn't easy to hoist those big fish up off the dock.

The Dark Side....

Larry wanted to show the dark side of a halibut for comparison. Thanks, Larry!

A grand day for fishing!

Kevin, Megan, Larry, Rob, and Ben not only fished, they caught. These were some of the nicest fish we've seen all summer. Believe it or not, they had to release another big fish because they had their limit of them by noon.

Fish Eyes!

Ben only had eyes for fish on this day.

It's a Yelloweye!!!

Larry shows off his catch above the halibut.

One... two.... LIFT!

Bob and Allan wanted to pick up their fish. Smile!

Impressive catch!

Larry, Allan, Bob, Vince, and Ben missed large numbers of halibut, but made up for it in size. Nice yelloweye, Larry!

Good catch!

Larry, Larry, Rob, and Ben added to their collection of fillets on this fishing day.

Better than the office!

Fishing out of Coffman Cove on the Silver Talon is a nice break from the office. It looked like a great day for Ben, Joe, Evan, Bill, and Brock.

Bonnie, Pete, Pat, and Larry

Catching fish together made for a great day on the water for these couples.

Bonnie is Strong!

She had fun fishing with Capt. Lee; and then lifting this nice halibut for some photos really made her smile.

Pete is, too!

Pete wanted to share his wife's enthusiasm.

Snow White Bellies

The sun came out just long enough to show off the beautiful bright fish that Rob, Larry, and Frank caught while fishing with Capt. Lee.

The Silver Talon

Here's a photo of Captain Lee bringing the Silver Talon into Coffman Cove after another successful day on the water.

Breaching Humpback Whale

We don't know why the whales do this, but it's awesome to see it happen.

Keep your eyes open!

You never know what you're going to see when you fish in Southeast Alaska.

VICTORY!

Guess who caught the biggest fish in the boat this day?

Let's make 'em shine in the sun...

Capt. Lee hoses off the catch so they'll be pretty for the pictures.

Kickin' our heels up!

These guys were so happy and contented that they just had to kick up their heels.

A little competition of strength...

It's not as easy at you'd think to lift 2 nice halibut.

That's as far as I can lift them!

Nice try. Keep practicing!

Captain Lee

He's been practicing. No fair!

Marty hooks a halibut...

And he couldn't be happier! Neither could we.

All smiles!

Marty deserves a pat on the back for a job well done!

The catch...

Marty and his halibut.

Nice assortment of fish!

The yelloweye really looks bright orange against the snow-bellies of salmon and halibut.

Ladder 157 Rocks!

Pat, Phil, Todd, Don (firefighter from FDNY), Troy, and Ben had a great day of fishing with Captain Lee on the Silver Talon. We were honored to meet you and have you on the boat. Thanks for everything and we'll see you again next year!

Fun fishing!

Catching fish in SE Alaska is a real pleasure. Thanks for riding the Silver Talon.

Megan & Ilene

It was terrific to have Mom onboard when Megan caught her first halibut.... a 90 pounder!

Rain, rain, and more rain....

Although the day was wet and windy and the fish weren't very cooperative, the guys had a good time.

Retirement is sweet!

You get to go fishing in Alaska and bring some home.

Just a little scratch...

Capt. Lee cleans and bandages a wound Randy got when his halibut moved while hanging on a gaff hook for photos on the boat. No stitches for him, though; he wanted to go back out and fish for salmon.

It was worth the pain!

Randy caught a nice halibut.

Cooperative fish!

Not only did the fish bite the bait, they lined up real nice for the photo.

Great job, Nichole!

She had a productive day on the Silver Talon.

Proud to be a fisher!

White halibut against the blue backdrop of water in Coffman Cove. Who could ask for more?

Sunshine!

The sun has been rare in summer 2008, so it was good to enjoy it on the Silver Talon catching some great fish.

Cold day in July...

but it was great fishing for this group from Oregon.

Limited Out

Perry, Jack, Ben, Kris, and Rick limited out on halibut, even though it was a rainy day. Nice job, gentlemen! (Too bad Kris left the dock before this photo was taken.)

Spinner fishing at Whale Pass

It's fun to cast a spinner into a school of fish as they make their way into the river. Keep an eye out and you might even see a bear on the beach.

Fish in the net!

Landing a silver salmon is as important as hooking one.

Showing off the catch.

Joanne and Christie are proud to present the halibut they caught while fishing with Capt. Lee.

31 Silver Salmon!!!

This returning group from California made room for Ben on the boat and they all had a great time catching salmon at Whale Pass. Those are some bright beautiful fish, aren't they?

Ben's 1st Halibut.

Ben did a great job bringing in his first halibut.

It's a 'pooner!

Capt. Lee prepares the harpoon for Rick's halibut.

Now that's a fish!

Great job, Rick. It was a pleasure to have you on the Silver Talon.

Spinning for silvers...

Kris caught this coho while using a spinning reel off the back of the boat. Nice fish, Kristopher!

Good day!

Kris and Rick would have liked to catch more fish, but it was a beautiful day on the water.

Show the white side!

Kris had to turn the halibut around to show us that tremendous snow belly.

Tremendous Trio...

What nice halibut they are! Congratulations!

***Note: Photos from this point on were taken in 2007 or before. The ones above are from the summer 2008 & 2009 season.

Lots of beards!

And it looks like they were good luck on the water.

Fishermen in camo!

It's hard for the fish to see you coming when you're wearing camouflage. Just kidding! It was a good day for catching halibut.

Terrific Halibut

That is a nice halibut standing up with the fishermen.

Just plain silly....

It was a good day of fishing that ended with some silly faces at the dock. It's good to have that much fun!

Impressive catch!

This group did a nice job of catching some beautiful fish.

The Hobie Pro Staff returns!

We're always happy to see Mike and Dennis with their groups. Fishing is always better with great clients onboard.

Great catch!

Another terrific day on the Silver Talon catching halibut and other bottom fish.

Yelloweye!

That's some orange fish! Not a bad selection on the dock, either. Good fishing, guys!

Look who came back!

Kelly joined the fishermen for a day on the water. Welcome back, Kelly.

Lots of smiles!

Fishing with Capt. Lee almost guarantees a day full of smiles to go with your fish.

How many fish are there?

You have to stretch to reach across them all.

Sunshine!

These fishers not only spent a day in the August sun, they also caught a nice mess of fish.

Walk-ons Welcome!

As long as he has room, Capt. Lee is always happy to have people join him. Looks like these "last-minute" fishers had some good luck on the water.

Tremendous Catch, Fay!

From the look on her face, it's obvious that Fay is excited about her big halibut.... and she should be!

Raingear & Fish Go Together-

This group was glad to have their raingear on for a wet summer day of fishing. They had a great time on the Silver Talon!

The Group from Roseburg, Oregon....

These fishermen enjoyed several days of fishing with Capt. Lee. This was a very good day on the water.

Larry H. Shipley and His Halibut...

Larry caught a dandy halibut on his 2007 charter with Capt. Lee.

Excellent Day!

Dave, Larry, Al, and Myra spent the day fishing with Capt. Lee catching a variety of fish: halibut, salmon, and bottomfish.

Beautiful Day!

There's nothing better than catching fish on a sunny day.

Al & Myra...

Myra had to get her puppy from the cabin, so she missed the photo with the rest of the group, but now the poodle will be famous.

(Thanks, Travis, for letting us "borrow" those 2 fish.)

Helping Hands

Adam needed Capt. Lee and Jeff's help to pull his halibut up from the depths of the sea.

Making Plans to Harpoon...

Capt. Lee explains to Jeff what's going to happen when he harpoons the beast. It's important to keep tension on the line at all times. Adam is paying close attention, too.

"No fish can take down 2 balls!"

This halibut drug two floats around and under the water after being harpooned twice. Someone also said, "You're gonna need a bigger boat." Sound familiar?

It's time for the big gun!

Capt. Lee carefully moves the floats so he can get a good shot at the huge halibut.

VICTORY!!!

After a one hour and forty minute fight, the fish is at the side of the boat and won't be getting away. It's time for celebration!

Now that's a BARNDOOR HALIBUT!

Adam hooked and fought this halibut from start to finish. From the look of the smiles, it's clear it was worth the effort.

Group Effort....

It took the muscle of everyone on the dock to hang this halibut for a photo. The sign was swaying, but it held.

Exhausted, but happy-

Everyone onboard was ready to come into the dock after the catch of a lifetime. What an experience for all of us!

Adam's Halibut!

Adam did a great job of landing this monster fish. It's the biggest on the dock so far this year and a record for the Silver Talon. Captain Lee estimates its weight at about 300 pounds. Way to go, Adam!

Good Job!

Jeff gives Adam a well-deserved handshake and Capt. Lee offers a thumbs up for a job well done. Fantastic fish!

Hey!

"I caught a nice halibut, too!" With all the attention being paid to the barndoor, it was hard to get a picture of this fish.

Good Fishing!

SE Alaska is a good place to fish for halibut, salmon, and bottom fish.

Good Friends...

Jeff invited some friends up to fish in Coffman Cove. They weren't disappointed.

Pair o' Kings-

By the end of July, the Kings are starting to put on some size. These are 2 very good examples of that.

Family Time...

Adam, Luke, Sandy, and Jeff spent the day fishing as a family. What a good time they had!

Luke's Halibut!

Luke did a great job landing this big halibut.

Expert Advice!

Becky, "the professional fish filleter," gives some tips to Luke on correctly filleting a halibut. He did a great job!

Combined Catch-

Some of this group fished with Capt. Lee, while the others fished on another boat. Because they came to Alaska together, they wanted a picture with all of them and their catch in it.

Bill's First Halibut....

This was the first halibut Bill ever caught. He sure started out with a dandy!

Big Halibut!

Capt. Lee and David stand next to 2 very big halibuts. It was a good day on the water.

2 Families Fish Together-

Brothers Mike and Dave were joined on the boat by Jeff and Sandy and their 2 sons for a day of fishing with Capt. Lee.

We 3 Kings....

Dave, Luke, and Jeff all caught a nice king. Way to go, guys!

Another Great Day of Fishing-

Big Dave, Mike, Kiwi Dave, and Becky enjoyed a day of fishing together. The fish are abundant in SE Alaska.

Another BIG Halibut!

"Kiwi" Dave caught this fish and Capt. Lee wanted to show it off. It was raining so hard that David and his brother Mike didn't come back to the dock for pictures until it was too late.

Fantastic Fishing!

This group from North Carolina decided to fish with Captain Lee and they weren't disappointed. We were happy to have them on the boat.

What a King!

Brian caught this awesome king trolling on the Silver Talon.

Nice catch on a sunny day...

Jerry, Art, and Dave were happy with their boatload of fish.

Tremendous Fisherman!

Jerry caught this dandy fish on a sunny day. Nice catch, Jerry!

Proud Art!

Art wanted everyone to know that he caught the biggest halibut 2 days in a row. Way to go, Art!

What a day!

This group did a fine job of catching fish. It was a busy day on the boat.

Last day on the water...

Jerry and Art spent their last 2007 day on SE Alaskan water catching fish and watching whales.

125 pound halibut!!!

Micah caught the big halibut on this fishing trip with his brothers Josiah and Derek, along with Brad and his son Wyatt.

Pair of Halibut-

Micah certainly had his hands full with halibut. He caught the big one that was worthy of hanging on the fish dock.

5 Brothers-

The Kipperberg brothers had a great time fishing with Captain Lee. They were fun to have aboard.

That's a Silver!

Chuck caught a real beauty.

Fine fishing!

Aaron, Chuck, Brian, and Dave had a terrific day of fishing. They all took fish home from this trip.

Tremendous Bottom Fish!

Aaron caught this Yelloweye while on the Silver Talon. What a beautiful color of orange!

A Smile of Fish :-)

Debbie, Brian, Aaron, and Simon are grinning about their day's catch formed into a smile by Capt. Lee.

True Cod-

Kyle caught this true cod while fishing for bottom fish with Captain Lee. Great photo!

(Photo courtesy of Kyle Sukanen.)

Halibut Day!

Dave and Chuck hold up their halibuts with smiles. Capt. Lee helps them, but looks like he's got the heavy fish. ;-)

Chuck's King!

Sharon, Micah, Kyle, Becky, Josiah, and Chuck shared in a great day of fishing on the Silver Talon. (To be honest, some of these fish were caught on another boat, but the large group wanted their fish photographed together.)

Blue and Silver-

This California group in blue posed for a nice photo in front of the Silver Talon. What a fun bunch of people they are!

Max is back!

Max and his wife returned to fish with Capt. Lee in 2007 with 4 friends. We hope they find their way to Coffman Cove again.

Joanne and her Salmon-

Joanne is all smiles as she holds up her fresh silver salmon.

Dave's King Salmon-

The King Salmon have been plentiful in 2007. Big Dave showed his skill as a fisherman by landing one of them.

Halibuts Abound!

Joanne, Max, John, Don, Kristy, and Becky had a day of fishing the bottom for halibut and true cod.

That's some good fishing!

Larry and his group had a good time fishing again this year with Capt. Lee on the Silver Talon. Thanks for visiting us again!

(Photo submitted by Becky Igo.)

Earning a Boy Scout Badge*

This young fisherman will earn a much-deserved badge by filleting the halibut he caught. Thanks for helping him, Becky.

(Photo submitted by Becky Igo.)

Too cute!

Becky poses with a Sitka deer fawn who is holding still until the humans leave. What a special time!

(Photo courtesy of Kyle Sukanen.)

Hefty Halibut!

Captain Lee can handle just about any fish, even if it's caught on someone else's boat.

Humpback Whales-

2007 was an awesome year for watching whales feeding, breaching, and moving through the waters near Coffman Cove. If you would like to purchase a CD of photos, contact Ann and she will happily help you.
