When's the Next Adventure!

Ok. Whiskey gulch it is. Can't bury a new rental truck. Lol. Full coverage or not. Thanks!  Drive 8 hours to fish 4 or 5 hours. Haha. Thanks!!!!

Great flat day on the water. One hour into fishing. No kings yet. But the bycatch is decent. 15lbs maybe bigger halibut on a downrigger set at 15 ft.

Well, didn't come away with any "keeper" fish,  hopefully I worked out the kinks and re-familiarized myself.  However, I am beginning the process of planning my next outing.  Anybody thinking about maybe the weekend of May 31 or the weekend of June 6th?    Anxious to get "on the board" with some halibut...or salmon!

I could see the 31st working out for me.

I am planning on 31st...1st & 2nd week of June are reserved for copper dipnetting.

Weather not looking o good this weekend.  So unsure about that.  Pretty much every weekend from now till the silvers show in Seward I plan to dedicate to Cook Inlet if the weather allows. 

I may poke around Whittier, even after work to see if any of the kings they stocked are showing up. I would think the majority of fish are 3 ocean fish so the 2010 stocking should be available.  The only issue is the state they stocked in "Whittier."  They used to say "Whittier Harbor: so not sure if that makes a difference or not.  The other bonus of figuring out the Whittier Kings is they aren't counted towards the annual 5 king limit.

Cool, it will be nice to have some folks to chat with!

 As for the Copper, there's already fish crossing the sonar....pretty pumped for some sockeye action this year!

Next adventure...delayed.  Look familiar???  Looked so good just a few feet off shore.  Long drive to bail but I was afraid of what it's be like after the tide shifted.

those waves and a kayak don't mix well...
