fishing

so from start to finish…everyone but me was dying to go fishing! every stream, lake, pond, bay and ocean we passed was an opportunity to fish. they had a plan….rent fishing poles from the military base along with chairs, go to river and fish…..hmmmm…good plan! however…. the rods were crappy and way overpriced to rent, same thing with the chairs. you could get a good price on a fishing license for the week and so there were 9 of those purchased. dad and I decided we would watch. so off we went to the military px (which is kind of like Wal-Mart) to buy poles and chairs, bait and whatever other crap they needed. Joey bought waders too. out we went….just to find out that fishing was closed to everyone until the 11th because it was spawning season and they wanted the little buggers to be able to get upstream a little first. everyone was very irritated by this but we still found places to fish….don’t know how they did it but…..here are a few of the spots

these four did a fishing charter and came back with the max allowed of 20 fish! it was freezing and rainy and they still had smiling faces!

after everyone saw how Joey could fish with the waders…everyone else bought some too! and with those there were 11 more fish caught! salmon to be exact and boy were these kids proud! fishing the real way…gutting and fillet yourself! so cool!
