How deep were you fishing for the halibut?  I took a charter out of Seward and we were in 500 ft of water.  The reels had big bike grips for reel handles, 2 or 3 lbs of bait, 5 or 10 lbs of lead and down it goes.  What a workout.

Deepest I ever fished this summer was 150 feet deep (a 20 ounce sinker did the job to keep my 60 pound test down there with 1 herring chopped in half, one half on each hook), we usually had the best of luck right around 100, A lot of the charters that go out of Homer go out a long ways in a day to a hump that comes up from deep water to about 100 feet deep and fish on top of that.       

I have lots of scenery pictures too Ill get around to posting a few soom,

I don't mind putting these pictures up at all thought everyone wuld enjoy looking at them.   

This is pretty much a regular sunset while we were out fishing


A picture of one of the guys out picking clams, and the scenery behind him


Here s a view of the bunkhouse porch, the bunkhouse is where I staye dthis past summer, and the fog rolling accros the salt marsh



I believe this was a sunset, as the last bit of light was leaving


Here is a snset over the Homer spit and harbor


And here is a picture of one of the guys fishing a preistine glacial stream that has a totally natural and unenhanced run of pink salmon adn dollie varden, an amazing place to fish and jsut hike around.   


Hah, and here is one of the great alaskan bear dogs, haha not really, they were  my bosses three basset hounds (from left to right Seward - the male, ann Siesta - the female, and storm - the baby)


Here is a picture taken when we were hiking way up, about a mile up adn four miles back from a road to go adn do soem word class grayling fishing, I think that wekend we caught adn released over 60 grayling at leaste, I did keep one adn Ill get it back next year mounted though. 




Enjoy  ;D

I'll always have a summer job up there and it would be a great place to do an internship for my college so sometime in the next few years I'll get up there.   I can't wait to get back up there.

Thought Id post a few more pictures.   

Just a nice little set of falls way up the creek



A nuisance bear, not too big but big enough to cause some troubles around the hatchery



Does anybody have any idea what sort of track these are, my guess was otter but we werrnt sure. 



That was out work skiff untill one of my fellow co-workers decided to drink a case of beer adn then go fishing, he hit a rock going full out that he new was there, totally destroyed the lower unit on the outboard.    Not good, needless to say he was jobless soon after that.   Being drunk and operating a boat is not a good thing at all.   



And here is the airbot thta we used to get the eggs to the hatcheyr during low tide,   a boat with a 454 chevy on the back    ;D    pure fun



More to come.....

Was lookin through these and just thought I'd toss a few more up here from my last 2 summers.      There is a chance I may end up heading back up ther eagain this summer, oh darn right?     ;D         

A stream caught sockeye, poor guy was lost.    I think one of the guys was gonna kee this one to mount




here is a bunch that we got off the floats when we were sorting pinks, we wernt spawning the sockeye's so why not bring them home to eat?      They sure are tastey when they are fresh and silver like that.   




Another pic from my hike up to cresent lake to catch a grayling.    Im hoping to get it back from the taxidermist someime soon, but it could be a while longer, seems I have misplaced the phone numbre for the taxidermist in kenai.     




Here is exit glacier






a pic of the stream next to our hatchery





A load of pinks coming out of the electroshoker.     




the sorting float for spawning the pinks on



the sorting table and spawning tubes.   the three tubes closest are for the emales, we had three peopel stripping the female pinks and the far tray was for males, only took 1 person to strip the male pinks.     We kept a ratio of 1 male pink to every 5 female pinks and sometimes even more females to males.     







Here is a pic of the guys setting up the spawning float






hmm more to come,

Man, those are some great pics. Your lucky to live in God's country. I've thought about moving to Alaska more than once.
"I fish because I love to; because trout do not lie or cheat and cannot be bought or bribed or impressed by power, but respond only to quietude and humility and endless patience; because maybe one day I will catch a mermaid; and finally, not because I regard fishing as being so terribly important, but suspect so many other concerns of men equally unimportant- and not nearly so much fun."
