Halfway through week 4 and man, time is flying. The salmon are still in the bay, and they are biting extremely well. One note to all campers, when you come up, be sure to bring Pink and Orange Wigglewart plugs. These are working very well in the deeper water! Other than the Wigglewarts, Spinners and snag hooks are the way to go. The first day of camp produced a very respectable 42 salmon, and yesterday brought somewhere around 49.
Our halibut trip yesterday was long and hard, and sadly, not very fruitful. We brought back a total of 4 halibut, none of them noteably large. Despite the tough fishing, the campers saw a lot of whales, which are really quite amazing if you get close enough. Two more trips are scheduled for today and tomorrow, and we’re praying they are blessed with halibut.
Lastly, we had a great day out clamming at El Capitan (another trip scheduled for tomorrow) and we have 3 groups going on the El Capitan Cave tour, the largest cave in Alaska, and only a 20 minute drive from camp.
Dean is doing his message on prayer again this week, and even us who have heard it already are still gleaning new points previously missed. It’s been a great week so far, and it’s only getting better.
