Rod Hours

Well, my friend, Adam, and I went fishing with Eric yesterday...covered a good part of the Taku River approachs - Salisbury, False Point Arden, and over on Douglas around the corner from Marmian Island.  Up until yesterday Eric had been skunked.  Today, he remains bereft of salmon although I do not fault his technique which struck me as completely up-to-snuff.  Just look at him...how could our skipper not know what he was doing...

And despite the lack of salmon action I think Adam had a good time - hard not too on a sunny spring day with  lots of whales, eagles, and sea lions around.

There was lots of feed everywhere - looked like probably needlefish and the whales were working the Pt. Arden area pretty good.  This bad boy has an odd marking on his dorsal fin - wonder if he was dragging a buoy for awhile...

Looks like maybe he was towing something...

Yesterday was a five boat day in Juneau.  The Norwegian Pearl arrived early in the afternoon.

So...all things considered...an excellent day!
