A friend wrote us that the pressure was on, after watching a small child catch a big flounder with a pink fishing pole. It happened again yesterday as another small child caught two flounder right next to us. Now I really don't feel any pressure and still don't as my brother in law Grover says that even a blind sow will find an occasional acorn, so I know we will eventually catch one ourselves.
The first time I went out fishing, from shore, I caught fish after fish. They were all rock sole and haddock and I kept enough for dinner. The next day was a slack tide and we never had a bite, It then turned into a racing out going tide and our weights were too small to hold the bottom.
It was still fun as we watched bald eagles and did see another fisherman catch a dolly vardon. Renita found a farmers market and we bought and froze our yearly supply of rhubarb. Another vendor sold king crab medallions, Alaskan scallops, and cleaned razor clams. Of course we had to buy these.
So we have started things out right with two consecutive dinners of Alaskan seafood. We also have booked a tour of Seldovia and I am going out halibut fishing this morning. The only negative thing is its cold and rainy, but we kind of expected that,(and we have good rain gear). Clear skies
Wow, good fishing and rubarb - how good can it get? - C
