You can hail me on 19 when your in the area.
Do you know JJ on the Reel Time. Man his boat is awesome. I can't believe how fast it is. Cool dude.

I watched the Reel Time hit the breakwater, and then did most of my yard work for 3 years while they re-built her... neat boat.
My June trip to the Cove is just some locals w/ guests wanting to load their freezers with butt and ling. For once per year use, it's so much cheaper for most locals to charter a nice boat rather than own their own...
I get out that way at least 2 or 3 times each year just for personal fun too... I get burned out looking at hatchery salmon all day every day, so it's nice to go bottom fishing in the "big water" every now and then.

Enjoy the site!

Yeah, I'm a "native Alaskan" but not an "Alaskan native!".... Other than a few years to attend school in Oregon and a few years goofing off in Florida, I've spent my whole life here, and honestly wouldn't trade it for much of anything. I married a gal from the MS Gulf Coast, so I may be changing the Alaska tune one of these days, but I'll at least be up seasonally until I drop dead. When you were here last, did you spend any time/money in the Red Dog Saloon? (Hard to miss if you were playing tourist...)
Our fishing varies with the season, but centers mostly around salmon (all 5 species) and halibut. With all the increasing regulation and our lack of allocation to the sportsmen in the state, I've been chasing after a few "other" species lately too... everything from 100 year+ old yelloweye rockfish to sablefish in 2000' on a deep drop. All in good fun.
There was an article a few months back in Fish Alaska Magazine that explained the 4 stages of becoming a fisherman... It's all based on one's goals...
1) to catch fish.
2) to catch lots of fish.
3) to catch the biggest fish.
4) to catch the most challenging fish.
I've had great fun over the years going through all four stages, both as a kid and as an adult, and then as a charter guide, and now I cater to all 4 stages, depending where my clients are at... Gotta keep things interesting!
