Friday and Saturday we weren't commercial fishing, so we went halibut fishing and camping on the family's 28 foot bayliner which slept 7 of us comfortably. It was a blast, and we ended up keeping 13 halibut between 7 and 20 lbs. We also dropped a crab pot and caught 5 tanner crabs which we ate for dinner along with the halibut...sooo good.
We are fishing again today. The morning pick was surprisingly good for being so close to the end of the season, though not many were reds. We are catching more off-species (silver and pink salmon).
We have pulled some of our fishing buoys already and will be pulling some more in the next couple of days - another sign that the end of the season is near. We only anticipate one more regular day of fishing after today. David and I had our plane tickets rescheduled for this coming Saturday, a week earlier than we were planning on.
I added some photos to my picasa album.
YAY! Come home, come home, come home!
