Bum deal. I've seem that boat up there many times.
Ya, it's an institution in Sitka.  Bill is a survivor, and I'm sure he'll get it going again. May have to write off this early season, but I bet by this fall he's fishing it again.

Plus, he'll finally get a place of honor on the wall at the P Bar  :chuckle:
That P-Bar pic was the first thing I thought of when I saw your post. They might have to start putting pics on the ceiling in there. When you heading north?

Probably June 23rd-ish.  You looking for a ride?
i wish. I will be in Norway for a summer solstice party. See you in August!

Shout out to @yellowdog , he cut another fine set of decals for my old gal.  Quick, competitively priced, high quality stuff.

Thanks again man!  :tup:

My pleasure cutting the Diamond Lil lettering for your great looking boat. Have a safe and successful season!

Quick update -
Fishing's been slow out here on the coast of WA, but the fish are big and fun to catch. Got an 11. 8# average in mid may.  No hogs, but very few runts either.  Just solid fish, they're gorging on 6-7" herring.

Here's a pair of 13#-ish fish that I'm having cut and vacpac for retail.

Thanks guys. Time is tight, but looking at ways to do a group buy.  The price of kings has come down to the point I can likely justify doing a king and halibut buy for the Hunt Wa'ers.  Will likely also offer up coho filets and spot prawns at the same time if I can do it.  Watch for a possible group buy thread.  :tup:

If and when you do this, I will be in for one full box with a mix of all 4 listed. 
Your last half box I got lasted about 2 weeks, did not order enough and learned that lesson.
Please keep us posted.

Roger that fellas.  A full 80# box of these goods can get pretty pricey, depending on the mix. I'll figure out something for us though.  Thanks for showing the interest, I'll start a separate thread soon to keep this one on point.
