In the end yesterday, I had hooked 10 fish and lost 7. I put sharper hooks on and then I quit losing them! One of the ones that got away was just about to land. It practically spit the lure out at Jeff's head. He ducked or it would have hooked him!
We saw a bull moose yesterday too. We got lots of pictures. There's a brown bear with two cubs running around in our neighborhood now too. We haven't seen it yet, but other people have.
I landed two humpy salmon yesterday. They each took 25 minutes to land. We spent about 5 hours fishing yesterday. Jeff landed one today. He was surprised at how hard they fought! The freezer is completely stuffed with salmon now. We've gathered close to $150 or $200 worth of eggs too. Most of them are curing in the fridge.
We never did manage to find any black sand yesterday. We didn't look today. We just spent the day fishing. Tomorrow we're going ocean fishing for halibut out of Homer.
Bob would be so proud of you!!! Have you tried calling him? Can't wait to see all the pictures. Good luck with your fishing tomorrow. Remember that dry ice in a cooler works well as a freezer. You just have to replace the ice periodically but it last quite a while if you keep it well insulated! Love you!!
ReplyDeleteCan you post some of your fish pictures here? I see them on Facebook, but for those not following you there, they don't get to see them.
ReplyDeleteHis Facebook photo album is open for anyone to see. I've posted the link already, but for those who might have lost it, it's http://www.facebook.com/#!/album.php?aid=2043702&id=1344810973&ref=mf.
