It's reportedly pretty darn good compared to what we've been getting in Sitka.  Hopefully keeps up. I got a little longline gig on another boat I'll be working down there as well between salmon trips.  I'll be stopping over in Port Alexander tomorrow, never been there and looking forward to checking it out.

Man, it's nice out here today.  We get a few every winter.

Dang, not even a walleye chop out there.

Gorgeous! Some big calderas in the last photo!
I am dying to spend some time on the salt!

Verstovia and Edgecumbe, loved that place. PA is an interesting place, probably a little different than the years I spent around there, but that place would be hard to change too much. If you get into Port Armstrong tell Ben Contag hi.

Swing and a miss on the kings.  The big bite is over down here - should have known better than to chase radio fish, haha.  Sold my small trip in Craig today (I got my fuel and food for this big adventure covered, that's about it), next move is to bait up longline gear and set it tomorrow morning.  Gonna chase the rockfish for a few days.  Looking for a nice crewshare off of a buddy's boat while I wait for the kings to show up again.


Here's my office view of Craig from the buying dock.   That's a whale skull there on the Craig Inn.

So long for now, Craig. I'll miss your $1/# lower price for my kings (on the few that you gave up), $4.29/ doz eggs, $12.99 half racks of Diet Coke, and $7 gallons of milk...

But I won't miss it much.   :chuckle:

Will do.

By the way, those vid and mags yo sent up are great for the two or three minutes between the time I rack out and when I fall asleep.  Not getting through them nearly as fast as I thought I would  :chuckle:

Oh, I'd be up for more than three minutes if they were - probably more like five or so  :chuckle:

Here's a pic of my running partners on this trip, I was heading over to raft up on them this afternoon to build and bait our longline gear.  We're all about the same age, but these guys have been at it for a long time and are hard core.  Damn good fishermen.  It's a privilege to wprk with these guys - and feels dang good when I beat them when we're scratch fishing kings.
