Wednesday August 7, 2013
Welp, today Jim and I got up at 4:30 AM to go fishing along with 18 other caravaners. We got on the boat at 6:30 then traveled 1 1/2 hours to the halibut fishing grounds. This was bottom fishing so we were playing bob and weave. I put my line in the water and tugged a little while. Then all of a sudden an urge came over me, I asked one of the deck hands to take over my line. I then decided that this wasn't for me (read between the lines) and sat out the rest of the trip. Everyone caught their limit of two fish and we headed back the 1 1/2 hours to shore. I guess the crew felt sorry for me and gave me their catch. I ended up with 13 lbs of halibut filets which I am having cut into one pound sections and frozen. I go to pick them up tomorrow. Hopefully the pictures I took of the beach at the campground appear.

Hope you are all set to enjoy the fish dinner tonight!
ReplyDeleteSounds yum-oh!
Beautiful soft colors in your picture today, lovely!
Did not know that's how you fished for Halibut. I would have gotten bored also! Never liked bottom fishing myself! Let me know what you thought of the Halibut and how you cooked it.
ReplyDeleteThe wagonmaster cooked the fish with the help of many of the men on Monday the 12th. They flowered the halibut in Bisquick and then deep fried them. Yum, yum. Just FYI, I didn't get bored I got seasick.
