Today, Graham Island Sportfishing had the pleasure of taking Jim Lotimer and his family out for the inaugural voyage of our new Grady White fishing vessel. The weather started out choppy, but settled right down and Jim, Jane, Heather and Suzanne experienced some great Queen Charlotte Islands Fishing. Within 5 minutes of dropping our lines, Jane christened the new boat with a beautiful Chinook salmon. The action remained steady all day, though Heather and Suzanne had to depart early for a helicopter tour of the island courtesy of some friends met earlier on their trip. Fishing highlights included a 40ish lb. Halibut landed by Jim and a beautiful 28 lb Chinook brought in by Heather. Suzanne did great as well, playing and landing some awesome fish.

The Lotimers rounded out their Queen Charlotte Islands adventure the next day with a Kayak trip to the Haida Village of Yan, lead by Masset local Colin Camire.

Jim Lotimer is the President of Lotek Wireless Inc. (www.lotek.com), a company that creates the technology used by biologists to track and monitor animals (including Salmon, of course) within their environment. Jim and his family took a great interest in the fish we caught and the environment we were fishing in. The Lotimer group was a pleasure to guide and hopefully our paths will cross again.
