Woke early to fish!!
We met up with Tom and James with Triple H charters for a
combo salmon/halibut trip. Fishermen were Brek, Lynn, Shane, Travis,
Amanda. Not surprisingly, Amanda caught
the first fish, a nice silver salmon. It wasn’t really that great a day of
“catching”, really. I expected a mostly
complete limit of salmon and halibut, and we ended the day with about a dozen
salmon, one halibut, and a bunch of rockfish. I hadn’t planned the rockfish at
all. I hope they are good eating, cause we caught a bunch of them. The limit
was 4 per person, and most of us limited on rockfish.
Back at camp, we grilled red (sockeye) salmon for dinner.
Standard fare, with white rice and mixed veggies, and the last of our Kikkomans
Garlic and Green Onion sauce.
Expectations are high when a dozen Salmon isn't a good day, isn't it? ;) I'm sure more Halibut was expected naturally. Rockfish cant be all that bad when there is a whole restaurant chain here called that. ;)
ReplyDeleteAre you getting a good feel, from the charter catches, of whether Seward or Homer is the preferred place for a return charter trip? Real glad to see Salmon just caught off the beach near camp in Seward! Hard to beat that level of effort! ;)
