Day 4 - Homer - Alaska 2008

Today was supposed to be the big day. Some lingcod fishing followed by halibut fishing. Didn't start out good as the charter put us on a 12 pack instead of the 6 pack we asked for. We figured a full boat would not pay the extra to go way out for lingcod. And they didn't. Apparently the weather was too bad to go out for lingcod anyway, so we went to one spot for halibut, a good hour and half drive. Very long day, but at least I caught a personal best, 50+ pound halibut. Steve also caught a 50+ pounder.

Here's a video of Steve at the chicken hole.



Garbage fish of the day, Steve's cod. Our fish are the second and third halibut from the left.

Alaska fishing vacations can be the trip of a lifetime for the avid fisherman. The challenge can be all around the state and off the coast as well. The high mountain lakes and streams flow down and join the ocean deep.
