Finally! It’s raining! For the first time since we’ve arrived here, it’s raining. Yes, I know I sound crazy right now, but we’re definitely thanking God for the rain, because it means we’re actually gaining on our water tank!
The first camp is going pretty well so far. Fishing has been slow… the salmon out front are not biting very easily. However, the fishermen who have turned to snagging have done pretty well, and I have a feeling the rest will follow soon. This morning was the best day of the week so far – the low tide made it easy to get the fish from shore as they were running up and down the channel out in the saltwater. Some of the staff even got in on the action as well!
Dave Rogers started snagging from the get go, and has hauled in some nice silvers this week:
The guys have taken the halibut boat out every day this week. The group on Monday caught a couple nice halibut (77 lbs and 43 lbs), as well as several nice pacific cod. On Tuesday they went out to try for kings, but because of the windy weather, they weren’t able to fish them properly and ended up catching a couple halibut (20 – 40 lbs) and another pacific cod. Another group went out today in search of some more halibut.
The halibut boat has been running great so far. It still doesn’t want to go into reverse all of the time, but all in all the boat is fantastic!
We had a fantastic message from Pastor Dave Caudle from Calvary Chapel Palouse, WA last night. The local church came out to visit and we had a great discussion over Proverbs 2.
Thanks for your prayers! I’ll keep you all updated as the week goes on.
Oh, another thing! When the fish do bite, they’re hitting chartreuse or pink Mepps Flying C’s, and Blue Fox Vibrax lures.
Stay tuned.
Thanks for keeping us up to date on the things taking place. Good photos, too!
