Title: Elfin Cove Alaska trip w/pics
Post by: Gringo31 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.

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.
