Our friend Pete found some fresh #chrome success down on #shipcreek this morning. Pixee was doing work today. #fishon #anchorage #alaska #thebaitshack #coho #salmon #salmonfishing #rapala

The run is slowing down a bit. #Bobbers are still dropping and the #Coho are still on the bite. Wild Rivers are bent and dreams are still being made. Steve is headed back home to #Alabama with some chrome for the grill. #fishon #stcroixrods #bestrodsonearth

Good to see a limit of #Coho on the table this morning. Pink 4 #vibrax was the weapon of choice for these guys. Some silvers are still in the creek. #fishon #shipcreek #anchorage #alaska #thebaitshack #bluefox #cohosalmon #salmon #fishing

We are still finding a few #coho in the creek. We even had a few missed opportunities. Magic from @magictattoos up here for the @inkmasterstattooshow. Him along with his bride has been on the creek with us in the past. They had such a great time the brought the whole crew with this year. Be sure to check out @mrbighead713 and @bamboofoo along with Magic at the Expo if you happen to be up in the #Fairbanks area.

This young lady spends a lot of time on the water with her father. She is getting her last week of solid #fishing in before school starts back up. Awesome silver. Good Job! #fishon #getoutandfish #anchorage #alaska #thebaitshack #shacklife #shipcreek #silversalmon #salmon #coho

What’s the first thing to do when you move to #Alaska? Go out and catch some Chrome #silvers. Not bad at all. Caught on the tide with a Vibrax. #fishon#getoutandfish #shipcreek #anchorage #thebaitshack #salmon #veterans #military #fishing

#Switzerland in the House!! Well in the Shack anyways. Nick, Bryson and Fabienne joined us for a little #coho action. They got their fill and marked it of their “To Do” list while visiting #Alaska. Rods bent and Bobbers Down! #fishon #stcroixrods #bestrodsonearth

Jake from anchorage jumped right back into the mix and picked up where he left off. Didn’t take long to connect on some fresh #Coho and sink those #bobbers. #fishon #getoutandfish #shipcreek #alaska #thebaitshack #bait #salmonfishing #shacklife

Word travels fast! Valerie from Pennsylvania heard we were bending out St Croix Wild Rivers and landing #coho. She didn’t want to miss out. She found success as the bobbers drop and the #silvers were on the chomp. Great Job Valerie! #fishon #stcroixrods #bestrodsonearth

We love it when couples come down, wet a line and pull their limits of fresh chrome #Coho. #bait and #bobbers are knocking the #silvers down. #fishon

There is nothing better to do when you have a quick layover in #anchorage. Jump off the plane and head down to the #shack. Grab some gear and ask for the #Creekcandy. Hit the creek and watch the bobber drop. #fishon

#siblingrivalry at its best. Little brother got his #Coho first, but big sisters was a tad bit bigger. Both landed the biggest fish of their young angling lives. I would goto say they are both #hooked. Always great to see the big smiles with the little ones as they land their #fish#fishon

Little brother may of got the first #fish, but big sis wasn’t letting that discourage her. She #reeled in a nice #coho#bobberdown with some #creekcandy#fishon

When you are visiting #Alaska and all you want to do is catch a #salmon. Checking it off the list as a youngster. Little man did a great job bringing this #chromer to the bank.

We have had a great 2019 King Salmon Season. It has been fun, plenty of rods bent with some great fish landed. We had the opportunity to meet some awesome folks visiting, traveling through and living here in Alaska. Thanks to each and everyone of you that came down to fish with us this King Salmon Season. We hope to see you back on the creek soon for some feisty Coho fishing.

Thanks again Salmon Heads!

Looking forward to a great Silver season.

Bobber Down! Fish On!

Jason smashed this nice looking #coho on the tide. Looks like the fish are getting s little bigger. 9lbs on the scale. Let’s hope we some monster #silvers this year. #fishon#getoutandfish #shipcreek #anchorage #alaska #thebaitshack#shacklife #cohosalmon #salmonfishing.

Emilio from #Massachusetts had so much fun with us he came back for some more. He was thinking of doubling down on his luck. It paid off for him. Emilio landed this #king #salmon with a Wild River Spinning rod, teamed up with a #Penn Conflict 4000 and 20lb P-Line. Of course we used some fresh cured eggs done up with #Pautzke Red Rouge #FireCure. Some more fresh #Salmon headed home with Emilio. #fishon#stcroixrods #bestrodsonearth

We are also starting to see a few #coho trickle into the creek. No serious numbers yet, but still great to see. Robert landed this guy on a #bobber set up with a little #bait.

#40 on this lure! We made the first pass in front of the The Point Lodge Alaska and a big fish slammed the lure. Just as quick as he was on he got off. Turn around and make a second pass and bam this guy hits it. Fun day with this guy.
