Getting 3 tons of ice right now. If H20 can't get enough venison, ling, yelloweye and halibut to make use of it, he's gonna be shoveling on his last day with me to earn his ride back to the airport. 

In the fishing biz, that's not abuse. It's motivation. :chuckle:

Couldn’t you just let it melt, then pump it out? :dunno:
In a 33 degree hold, it would take a long time to melt that out. Probably February-ish. 
As soon as the fun and games are over, I need to get back to work with a scrubbed and sterilized hold. Just part of the deal.  It really doesn't take that long to shovel it out, as long as you have the technique down.


33 degrees isn’t freezing.🤣

So far so good! Plane got grounded in Seattle resulting in a long enough delay that I had zero chance of making my connection.  No problem says the gate agent.....we will seat you first class on the 10:58 pm flight. Uh no, no thank you. Hop online and book a one way outta Juneau to Sitka for a tidy little $150, I'll take my bag and gun case please and make it happen. So I'm all checked in with Harris and only have 4 more hours to kill before wheels up. If anyone else happens to be in the social hub of Juneau......the Fred Meyer.....I'm here!

Today was the day of days for the trip. Spectacular day on the water. Dead flat water, no wind, no rain. Shot a spike this morning on a perfect spot of shoreline.  My first ever buck so extra cool. I'll post more when I get home. Right now I'm going to enjoy a night at dock as we expect a nasty one to blow in. Modern plumbing, prawns and pasta for dinner then rack time. Tomorrow we process and package and prepare to head home.

Doom, sounds like you missed the weather by a couple days. I flew back from Sitka on the 16th after a week doing 4 days of day hunts. We had 10 man days (2-3 guys out 4 days) hunting n pulled in 8 bucks plus la few we passed on. They were pretty on the call and in full rut for the most part. Last day out was the first day ever hunting up there where we should have considered the sun, it was so bright and low we were walking around shading our eyes the whole morning. A lot of fun on a trip like that and I bet the crab, halibut, shrimp, and black cod fishing made for a great trip!
