A day filled with fishing

Yesterday I got up at 4:00 a.m. to go halibut fishing with our RV park neighbor Ray.  Like last week we got out to the open sea and found it too rough to fish. We headed back into the safety of the bay and found a couple of spots to try for halibut without any luck.  Maybe next time and Thank You Ray for taking me out on your boat twice, I had a nice trip both times and being able to see Seward from the Resurrection Bay.

After I got back to the trailer we walked the dogs and then went to the fishing hole, but didn't have any luck.  After another dog walk we went back to the trailer for a nap and supper.  Then after a short rest we headed back out fishing at 10:00 p.m. to fish the late high tide at 11:28 p.m. and try fishing under the midnight sun, except it was cloudy.  We were about to give up with no bites and then at about midnight Rosalie hooked a fish, but it got off, we kept fishing and then the action got hot and heavy and we successfully landed 6 fish in about 40 minutes.  Here are some pictures of salmon fishing in Seward at about 11:30 p.m., the fish picture was taken about 12:45 p.m.

After cleaning the fish on the beach we headed home for the final cleaning, packaging and freezing and finally off to bed at 3:00 a.m.
