Fishing


My boss, Ralph, took us fishing this weekend. The silver salmon season is open but the water is a little cold and no one in the area has caught many. The water was a little rough, 5-7ft swell on 5 seconds. Keri and I had taken sea sickness pills the night before so we were fine. After trolling for salmon for a while we droped off a couple of crab pots and tried to catch some ling-cod, also with no success. While the crab pots were soaking we ran up the bay a little and saw some harbor seals sunning on a beach. We were able to get up close with the little trolling motor. Keri used the telephoto lense to get some good shots of the seals. When we picked up the crab pots there were a number of crabs in the pots however they were mostly females and only a couple of the males were large enough to keep. It was a good day out on the water. There are more pictures from the adventure on picasa.
