Howdy.
It’s been a great week so far here at fish camp. The guys have been catching (snagging – they’ve been here before!) lots of salmon, and we’re already running out of freezer space. Maybe we’ll need a walk-in freezer next year??
The tides have been crazy the last few days… we’ve had the highest and lowest tides of the season. All of the tides this week are negative, the largest being a -4.1 on Tuesday. This is both good and bad – it’s great salmon fishing from shore, but it’s pretty tough on the halibut guys, because all of the moving water between tides makes it tough to keep your bait on the bottom. It’s also good for clamming… four guys and myself went to El Capitan this morning to dig some clams and brought home quite a few.
Speaking of halibut tides, the first halibut trip went out today. John is the captain, and I’m anxious to see what they bring back with the tides being how they are. I hope they catch fish. It could be a rough trip as well… it’s a little windy out there.
Please pray that we can work out the problems with the halibut boat engine… it seems like it’s just one thing after another, and it’s been difficult to keep the boat on the water consistently.
Sorry, no pictures today. The camera battery went dead.
Thanks for keeping up with the blog!
