He's really getting swamped with orders...the end of the fiscal year is June 30 so everyone is trying to spend all their budgets this month ...I'll take next month off...didn't get a call from the dealership to drive this week maybe next week...Hope the water rises so's you can do some good fishing

 

Then it's pretty cool you're able to help him out when they can really use the extra hand on deck.

Compromise ... work the rest of this month, then take off the rest of Summer.

Thanks for the fishing well wishes...we'll see...Alaska and the Copper River, they're like a couple of very fickle women, you never know which way they'll turn, but then they're never boring either.

 

What are you gonna be like when I start talking about Halibut fishing in Deep Creek?

 

I like your way of thinking Rob...hopefully the Copper will cooperate for you

 

When are you heading out to the falls?

 

Have fun and bring back pics! Curious how you'll tie in a shadow pic there. Always some of my favorites.

 

Now that you put it in context I can see that ... I'm sure you'll come back with some interesting and eye-catching pics though.

 

Lisa,
Don't know if you ever made it over to Chitina. This is looking north from the bridge. The fishwheels are off on the right; that's where we launch and recover our boats. We drift along the wall on the left with our nets adjusting to keep them right off the bottom of the river as we go. Normally all that gravel and sand bars you see are covered with water and you can only tell they are there by the ripples. Thought ya'll might be interested.



These are the boats we use and our little fish cleaning table rig.

 

Rob, what is your limit when fishing salmon?

 

I would love to cook salmon in the house... damnit Erica, start liking fish!

 

I would like fish better if we actually had fresh fish here. So little of it is even close to fresh, and when it is, it is expensive.

 

And catfish isn't very good unless you either fry it, or blacken it.

She did like halibut, but that is only because it is less fishy than any other fish.

 

Right now, thats the same price beef is going for too.

And the fish market is 45 minutes away on a good day. Once she has a job and some income, I will be able to cook a bit more of the good stuff.

She has one job awaiting her background check, and another will be back to her Monday. Another interview Wednesday. I just know that things are getting tight. Especially now that my renter might be moving out in a month...
