How's the weather?

 

Was 86 when we got here about 3:30. Wind blowing nicely and it feels great.

 

Not bad

 

Surf fishing in the morning. Got to run to town and get some bait first thing.

 

Watch out for Jaws

 

Being from Minnesota, I've never really had the opportunity to do much saltwater fishing except for family vacations and my brief stint working in Alaska. I would love to do a lot more and learn more about it.

 

Caught him last time.

 

I grew up saltwater fishing. Was so bored when I moved and only had freshwater. Nothing like fighting a decent saltwater fish. I may try some topwater in the morning if I get back in time. It may too late after I go to town to get bait. Never know though.

 

Where did you work in AK?

 

Your feet look blistered

 

Yeah they were fucked. I had 3” blisters on them later that night. Then tried to burn my leg off the next weekend. ER doc asked me about my feet when I got sent to the ER for the burn. I told him oh, that’s the burn from last weekend. Lol

 

I live about an hour and a half from Lake Mille Lacs. Its a world class small mouth bass and muskie fishery. It's super easy for us to make a run up for an afternoon or weekend. A 3lb smallie feels like you hooked a freight train, we hook into a 4lb fish almost every trip, and all of my buddies and I have one over 5lbs. It is an absolute insane trip every time.

I worked for a company called Prince William Sound Aquaculture Corp. I worked in one of their salmon hatcheries on Evans Island on the west side of the PWS. Closest town was Chenega, also pretty close to Montague island.

 

Yeah, I figured that was from last year. I was being a smartass

 

Biggest I’ve caught is a 2.5-3lb largemouth.

I do however love some fly fishing. That’s great in freshwater. I’d love to get a saltwater fly rig and sight fish the flats down here.

 

Nah that was a week before I burned my leg this year.

 

speaking of that, how is leroy jenkins??

 

I think my next en devour will be fly fishing for smallies with hand tied flies. I just need to buy a fly rod.

 

You sent pics of your feet in the group text.

 

For those less fortunate. Maybe 2” instead of 3”.

Do you guys think this is a pretty decent deal? I've been looking for some armor for my truck and haven't pulled the trigger on anything yet.

I think I might ask for a few more pictures of it, but I'm considering it.
