We went halibut fishing today. We each got our 2 fish limit. We were about 23 miles off the coast. You put a 25 pound lead weight on the line and drop it 200 feet down. Pulling those things up is tiring! There were about 20 of us on the boat. Only one guy got sick - a soldier on leave. There were 10 foot seas the last couple of days, but things were much calmer today so we picked the right day to go. Between the two of us, we caught about 60 pounds of fish. After it's dressed out, there's probably 40 pounds or so left. We're going to ship it home tonight or tomorrow, along with some salmon.
There's a really nice view from Homer. There are mountains all around. We stopped at the Salty Dawg while we were there and took a picture. We took quite a few pictures today, so hopefully I can get them uploaded to Facebook.
