I arrived in Kodiak on Friday for a return trip to chase salmon, halibut and rockfish. I didn't get any pictures yet but the Cornelia Marie has been salmon tendering in the area and has been in the harbor offloading and refueling.
We were in the Shelikof Straight closer to Afognsk Island yesterday fishing for big halibut when the Coast Guard began hailing all vessels notifying that a boat's EPIRB was activated off of Kodiak Island and that all boats should keep an eye out for them or signs of them. Didn't hear yet if they've been found. Scary.
Did anyone see the Dead Fox prank that Jake Anderson played on Sig's daughter an episode or two ago? I’ve been watching for it to show up on Youtube but it hasn’t. Funny stuff. Hopefully someone else saw that so they know what I'm talking about. My wife and I were walking on a local trail on Sunday and she stepped in a big pile of goose poop. I pointed at her foot and yelled, “Dead Fox”! Even she thought it was funny.
The men on those boats make a salary depending upon what type of crab they are fishing for,the amount of pounds caught and what the price is of the crab going to market. Two seasons ago the men of the "Wizard" fishing for king crab made over 100K a piece.
Good point ditto, not sure what they make, but they earn every penny....
I sat down last night with all of my walleye trolling gear and a very cold beverage to enjoy a night of Catch. I must say The Bait had me rethinking my choice and I switched between it and the Brewer game. I did not care for the "reality" attempt of Bait. Sig should lay off the smokes. He was totally gased after the survival suit contest, which I found totally uninstresting.
The actual fishing episode was good and got back to what I enjoy about the show and what's kept it on the air for 10 years.
Legend hit it out of the park. I really enjoyed the indepth look at a single boat. The history, the family, other aspects of the fishing industry. I particularly liked the building of the boat part. I was hooked.
Finished off the evening with a Brewers win. Got all my rods respooled and home made tattle flags installed on the boards.
DC started out questionable but I am back on board for next week!
