Elfin Cove Alaska trip w/pics
« on: July 24, 2012, 10:16:21 AM »
I took my 7 year old on his first trip to Alaska for a birthday present.  I met up with my brother and had a fantastic time.  I've had some GREAT hunts with family and friends but there is something about taking your son that puts it up on a completely different level.  We pretty much fished a day and a half.  Had good weather and a pile of memories and "firsts" for this dad and his fantastic son.



Big Yellow Eye


Nice Ling Cod



Seems he had a full belly



Nice Quill Back






Lots of Chum spawning




This was a view from Fishmasters Lodge where we stayed and were fed some of the most amazing food I've ever had.  For the first time, I ate fish that I'd prefer over beef.

Looks like a good trip. How many pounds of fish did you make it home with?
