The short:
Just got back home after just 2 weeks at my Alaskan cabin in PWS. Had to cancel my flight for 6/3 on 6/1 cause I fell off my deck I was working on and broke 3 ribs and punctured a lung. I was planning on staying the summer and wintering over.
The Sad:
Yeah Im sad about the short stay...
I didn't make it to my cabin in Alaska this year. My daughter said she wanted to go up for 3 weeks.
She picked a good year for coho.
The good news is she flying back to Pa for a week for a visit before flying home. Can't wait to eat the catch!
I'm in California and my kids bought me a fishing trip on a party boat for my 70th. Did pretty well. Reds,browns and we each caught a cabazon fish. We are one for supper last night. 2 ways. 7 up and one with a hint of soy sauce.
I'm not going to my Alaska cabin this summer but planning on...
Just got back to Pa after spending 85 days at my cabin in Alaska that's halfway between Valdez and Cordova. Rained almost every day.
So I fished almost everyday. Waves permitting. Halibut,rockfish,silvers,pinks and cod.
Lots of bears,black and brown.
I dropped my wife and her two friends off in Valdez on July 2ond after 5 days touring Alaska and then 5 days at my cabin in PWS. Only one of her friends fished at my cabin and she caught a 37 inch Halibut that made her day. She fishes in Kentucky and her biggest catch was a 12 inch crappie...
She spent 10 days at the cabin and we didn't put the kayaks in the water.
No salmon up the creek yet but lots of bears and salmon sharks looking for them We used the landing craft and skift. She got a box of halibut to take home
I'm heading over to Valdez from Soldotna to catch a landing craft to my cabin tomorrow for the summer. While I was in Freds I thought I'd pick up my license.
100 bucks?
I told her I thought I paid more last year. She said it when down 40.00.
That's nice if it did.I really can't remember. Getting...
Got an email from Raven Air saying they're back in business and giving me a 49.00 voucher for being a past customer. They're having a sale right now till January 12th. Flight from Anchorage to the K,enai is only $49 so I guess I fly for free.
Ever have someone that was telling you a joke but was laughing so hard they could hardly tell it and you thought you were about to hear the funniest joke of all time.
My late buddy Buck used to tell it and as he would tell it to other guys in front of me I would laugh cause Buck would crack up...
Been in my cabin in Alaska for 17 days. A lot of pinks up the creek. Hoping the silvers are coming. Mostly picking berries ,making jelly ,and remodeling the cabin.
2-2x8x12 and 1- 4x4x8 over 60 bucks at home depot. I had to make sure I wasn't in Valdez.
Needed them to finish a project or I would have walked.
I really wanted 2x10x16s but all out.
Thank goodness. I'd still be crying about the price.
My father-in-law who passed away 13 years ago left me a couple weird guns and one was a 22 Jet pistol. A 357 necked down to 22. I fired it once years ago and had a heck of a time getting the brass out. Common problem on this gun. It came with inserts for 22 long rifle but they where lost...
Started on Sunday. I was born in Korea. My mom had a horrible child hood. Orphaned and somehow she survived the war. She got hooked up with my old man in the second battle of Seoul.He came back to Korea and brought us to America.
My sister wrote a book about them. My mother and sister do these...
In Cabo and got the itch to go on a charter one last time. I caught my biggest fish here on offshore fishing boats and decidedd decided to do a panga for a change.
Rough water and one fish. It was tasty.
Couldn't log on as pa mt man so started over with new Pa. Got to Funny River Alaska 3 days late after cancelled flights and and a totally too busy summer.
Tried red fishing on the Kenai for a few hours and lost three. My buddy got one. Not my cup of tea . My buddy said I should have been here 3...
