Here’s our latest August HAWG of the Month entry…it comes to us from Steve Rhyne, who is so proficient at catching micro king salmon in Northern California that anything under 4 inches in length in now referred to as a “Steve-O.”
“Hey, anybody can get lucky and catch something big now and then,” says Rhyne. “It’s takes some serious skill to get ‘em this small on a consistent basis! Don’t try this at home, kids…I’m a trained professional!”
Yea, okay…so anyway, with the end of August rapidly approaching, you’d better get those HAWG of the Month entries in (shoot for something larger than a Steve-O if you can!).

After a week-long road trip to Southeast Alaska, I think I may have found some of the best fishing on the planet. That is if you like yanking on halibut until your arms feel like they’re full of wet cement and hooking so many coho salmon that it seems a little like bluegill fishing out of a 5-gallon bucket.
And the best part of the deal is this angling paradise is relatively close.
My base of operations was Juneau, which is a short 3-hour flight from Sacramento, with a stop in Seattle. On assignment for Fish Alaska Magazine, my orders were to explore and report back on the fishing opportunities available in the waters within easy striking distance of Alaska’s capitol city.

Do you buy a jet or a prop? For many of us, that’s a subject worthy of great debate. Well, ponder no longer! This new 21-foot hottie from Fish Rite is the answer…and the best part of the deal is: you can have it for $10!
Outfitted with a 225 Mercury Optimax outboard that comes complete with easy-change jet and prop lower units, you can go anywhere the fish are…up the river, out in the bay and everything in between! According to Jamie Dorsey of Fish Rite Boats, the boat can be changed from prop to jet or vise-versa in about a half hour once you get the hang of it.

The GLoomis rod company’s slogan is “Fear no Fish,” which is fine when you’re dealing with species like salmon, trout, steelhead and bass. But, there are truly some fish out there you should fear. Some will eat you; others will sting or bite you to death. And one will even swim up inside your very sensitive body parts!
Here are some of the fish you need to stay away from… [click to continue…]
