John’s Guide Service Fishing & Hunting Blog

Today was the 1st full day of any serious measurable precipitation we’ve had so far this Fall… and it’s still coming down good. All this rain should push some fresh fish on up-river here, and wash out all the spawned out salmon now covering the banks of the upper Skagit here. (Gettin’ pretty ripe smelling on the upper-river here!)

Today we were joined by 1st timers with us, Dan and Bob for a day of fishing. We caught a nice limit of Silvers and who knows how many Pink Salmon we landed (They’re still pretty thick up here) Dan decided to start taking count of landed Pinks at one point and landed 60 in about 70 casts.

Great day of fishing guys! Thanks again and see Ya in a couple of weeks for some more.

… And just to get back on track here with our Blog, here’s a little “Fish Porn” for Ya of some of this months Coho-Mojo!

… and now I’ll try and keep the Blog all updated with the days story and fishing pics. Have also taken some video with my Blackberry, just figured out how to upload it on my “Facebook” page. Will try and figure out how to upload it here too.

One of the big highlights this Summer was taking my nephew, Dylan, out for his first ever Salmon Fishing trip with Uncle John. My Sister Kathryn, her husband Scott, my wife Corrina and daughter Anjelika all got in on the Pink Salmon fishing action this summer!

Dylan standing next to cousin Anjelika with his first ever salmon. Dylan wasn’t just quite sure how to take them at first… he liked catching them and reeling them in, but once they got to the boat he really didn’t know quite what to do with them.

Uncle John tries showing Dylan just how cool these little salmon really are. Once Dylan got to touch them and see them up close he was a little more comfortable with them.

My Little Fish Slayer, Anjelika showing off one of her Salmon for the day…. That’s my little girl!!

Aunt Corrina posing with Dylan and one of her Salmon for the day… And that’s my wife!!

And to end the day, Dylan got to drive Uncle John’s boat back to the ramp! :-)

Looking forward to taking you out fishing again next Summer Dylan!

Love You, Uncle John.

Just like our “Reports” page says… I’ve heard it from everyone! I am really sorry that I didn’t keep our Blog updated with the days fishing and pics for all those out there needing there “Fish Porn” fix… didn’t realize how many of Ya missed the reports and pics. I’m back at it now and will make more time for all of Ya out there and keep on the “Reports”, “Blog” and “Monday Night Chat”.

Been one crazy arse’ Summer and I was busier than a one legged mule in an arse’ kicking contest! Now,.. Things are starting to settle down just a bit and my wife Corrina is now running the business end of “John’s Guide Service” leaving me to more time to update the site, chat a bit, spend more time with the family, and do what I do best… hunt and fish!

Our summer season consisted of a lot of King Salmon fishing:

A little Sturgeon Fishing:

…And a whole lot of Pink Salmon fishing on one of the largest Pink Salmon runs to ever hit the Skagit River, Check out the News Links below; (Yep,.. yours truly in the news)
