The 2nd run of silvers should be peaking now with lots of big fish, but it's SLOW SLOW SLOW. gotta work long and hard to get limits. I'll probably be on the middle this weekend looking for them as well.

Those 5.11 cameras in Turnagain Pass are handy, ALASKA is a "HARD COUNTRY for OLDMEN". (But if you live it wide'ass open, balls'to the wall, the pedal floored, full throttle, it is a delightful place, to finally just sit-back and savor those memories while sipping Tequila).

Froze the greenhouse tomatoe plants, I think the fruits (which we picked and brought in yesterday), will be ok, ripening on counter, hopefully. The outside ones covered with poly tarp made it OK. Those will have to be picked soon too. They go - once ripened - well in the salad that goes with the PU reds caught in June...... Hows that for a hijack? Dunno nothing about silver fishing- I don't do rodnreel. Gimmee a gill net every time. Good luck atcha anyway. Last edited by las; 09/24/21. The only true cost of having a dog is its death.
