Rollin' On The River

By -
We were back on the Kasilof River today. It is still slow fishing but we didn't get skunked this time. Jordan caught a nice Silver Salmon as you can see above. I managed to catch a King Salmon which we have no picture of. Reason why? King's are now officially out of season, yet they are in the same river and you will catch them. The rule is that should you bring the King in to the net that you are to unhook the fish and then release the fish from the net. So that is what we did.

Catching fish in the river is a lot of fun and even though we only caught 2 we saw Bald Eagles, a young Moose and some incredible scenery. It was a full day and Jordan and I had a great time together. Couldn't ask for anything more. Later I will post another picture of our hosts and tell you some things about them and others that are here with us. It is a very enjoyable group of people to fish with, eat with, and have lots of fun with.

This is a 59 pound Ling Cod that Jordan caught on Friday our last day on the water. I have not been able to post anything until now due to travel and Internet access. We were on separate boats Friday and the boat that I was on got in to a school of Silver Salmon of which I caught 8 in about an hour and a half's time. My largest fish was a 13 pounder which is a very good size for Silver Salmon. Saturday morning we packed up and headed for Anchorage. It is roughly a 4 hour or so ride and the scenery is beautiful. Our plane left at 5pm and we flew to Seattle where we stopped for a layover and then on to the Newark, NJ airport where we arrived at 6am. Needless to say we spent Sunday recuperating and our bodies were trying to figure out what to do when and where etc. After a good night's sleep I think that I am close to being back on track. We will see how today goes! Later today I fly back to Nashville, can't say that I am looking forward to another 2 hours plus on an airplane....

117 pounds, that is what the Halibut that Jordan caught today weighed in at. He is standing next to his 1st place fish. His was the top catch of the day and mine came in second (and I also caught another big Halibut at the last moment before heading back to the lodge, but that's another story, Jordan is THE MAN TODAY!!!) So we get to bed about 11, Sara comes and delivers coffee to our cabin at 5 am and we get up, make ready and have breakfast at 6, leaving at 6:30, on the water by 7 for what turns out to be a perfect day for saltwater fishing the Cook Inlet with Deep Creek Fishing Club . First we troll for Silver Salmon, it's Michael, Ted, Jordan and me - along with Captain Sky Leman and Roger Wiste his excellent deck hand. The two of them made for a fantastic day. Jordan hooks up with the first silver, then Ted, then Michael; everyone catches a silver salmon but me and I hook up but get flipped off by the fish at the boat. So, it's time to go to the Cemetery , the infamo...
