Fishing on Easter weekend is good!

Monday we decided to go try our luck at some skate fishing. This is where we can put out a line that has 15 hooks on it. We baited them up with squid and down they went. You have to leave this line down for awhile so we went over and headed into Redoubt Bay. Michael actually was lucky enough to watch a whale breach! I missed it but I'm glad he got to see it. No picture though, sorry. lol We went from there up to Goddard where the city cabin is and the Goddard hot springs. What a beautiful area it is. A float plane landed to drop off a client at the hot springs.

We headed back a few hours later to our pull up our line. 1-2-3-4-5-6 halibut came up on our hooks! What an awesome feeling to go out catching as compared to fishing! hahaha  2 cod also took the bait and man was that delicious that night as the fish in our fish & chips dinner. Great day in Sitka Sound!

Heading into Redoubt Bay

Wouldn't you love to live here? Me too!

This is the City cabin that you can rent and is across from the hot springs

Hot springs bath house. I hear sometimes you have to share with naked fishermen! hahahaha

You get to the springs by boat or float plane. 10 min ride from Sitka

See the rainbow coming down to the water?

Biggest was 40 lbs, next 25 and the small ones we guessed may 10 and the 2 cod at the end

Thanks for a good day Belley Ache!

Proud Fisherman ! Now to clean them all!

Sunday Boat Ride

Went out for a boat ride on Easter Sunday. Cruised through the Apple Islands and around Middle island. Very nice to just putt putt around this beautiful place we live. Saw a bit of wild life but really got blown away by how many Eagles were out playing. I packed us a nice lunch and we just relaxed and Michael enjoyed his day off. He made me a fabulous dinner of roasted duck with orange sauce, sweet potatoes, and bacon wrapped asparagus. What a good guy I am married to!

Sorry, not a bird expert so I have no idea what these are but they were pretty

Sea Lion checking on us

I loved the clouds

Mr. Eagle just hanging out

Everyone was out enjoying their Easter

Why isn't the dog-dog paddling  hahahahahah

I'd hate to fall in, that water is cold!

I'm outta here!
