FISH ON!!

Heading out to fish all day.

We are leaving the harbor at Sitka to go fishing from 6 a.m. to 4:30 pm. Fishing wasn't good, but we had fun and did catch some fish. We even kept a few. We didn't keep any of the quillback (rockfish). Most of the time Mikey, charter boat owner, cut them loose while they were still hanging over the water. I think I told him I needed one to photograph.
We caught and kept two black bass.






This Yellow Eye (aka Red Snapper) was a keeper. Robert caught it.
It rained off and on.





Lee Ann caught the first Coho.

Lee Ann's Coho.


The proud fisherwoman:

Check out our view!

Robert got the second and last Coho. I should have taken a picture before Mikey clubbed it to death! I got a Coho, but lost it near the boat. Sob!!
