Alaska with Dad!! - Jig_Jrk - 09-23-2008
[
] This year I got the chance of a lifetime, I went on an Alskan course with my wife her best freind and my Dad& Mom. When we arived in Juneau my Dad & I got to go salmon fishing for a while. [fishin] The boat we took was named KHAOS and we had a 45 min. ride out to the area we were to fish.[sly] There was 6 of us fishing and we drew card's for potion.[
] We had a realy sharp capt. and he was able to get us on the fish quick,at first we lost a couple then,the young lady from Oklahoma that had never fished for anything before made the first catch,a12lb.silver.[shocked] In the time we had to fish we had 14 strike's and landed 5 silver's. Then on the ride back we was able to see a humpback whale and a large bald eagle.[sly] I landed a 10 lb. my Dad landed an11 lb. silver, What a wounderful memory for the too of us and to be able to do it together.[:p][signature]

Hi there Jig_Jrk and welcome to the BFT. I caught my first salmon taking an excursion out of Ketchikan. Likewise I was on a cruise. A shipmate acquaintance & I lucked out by being the only two guys to hook up with a captain of a small boat. We were out of port in minutes and probably fishing before the other cabin cruiser size boats even got a chance to leave the dock. Arrange with the purser to have the fish cooked and served the next night. Damn that was sure good eating
