Who did you order the bullfrog tadpoles from? Would like to add some to our pond. My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

Best fishing moments were on 8 foot seas just off Chiniak. We tagged out on 12 kings and umpteen silvers in about an hour! We then returned to calmer waters to fish for halibut. Real downer!

Honestly, to run a charter boat, you've got to be a "Type A" personality....or a bit of an A-hole! It's quite a trip from Chiniak, around the horn to Whale Pass between Kodiak and Afognak. My b-i-l (rest his soul) caught the first fish, on the first day trolling Whale Pass! About a 45 pound king. Biggest salmon of the trip! BTW! We had you by 2 rednecks! Four of us from east Texas staying at the Best Western and we got stuck in the elevator! LOL! . I didn’t know this until I did a little research but Chiniak Bay is supposed to be the best King fishing on the road system. My first time up, we spent three days fishing Chiniak Bay and a spot the Cap'n referred to as Triple Hump and a real rocky bottom to fish for ling cod. Second trip, we fished Whale Pass, Chiniak Bay and a couple of other spots. Really a crazy trip! The "lead" guy wanted to fish Friday, Saturday, rest Sunday. Fish Monday and fly out Tuesday Problem 1, we had to buy a 3 day license and a one day license for Monday! THEN---- Problem #2::: FOG! Got to the Kodiak Int'l Airport, Haircare and Tire center. It was so fogged in, they canceled our flight. Back to Best Western. That was Tuesday. Wednesday, back to the airport. Canceled due to fog. Back to Best Western. Thursday...BACK to the airport! AGAIN! Canceled due to fog! This time, they rebooked us for Monday! 🤯 What the hell ya gonna do? SWIM to Homer? It was 115° in Oklahoma! I DID enjoy the 55° on Kodiak! We could have taken the ferry, but it was pricey as hell and they didn't have a way to keep our fish frozen. The bus from Homer to Anchorage couldn't keep our fish frozen either. So.....we waited out the fog! SIX DAYS! At some point, you need to read the history of Kodiak and the near Japanese invasion of WWII!

Afognak to Whale Island is not far, but quite a bit wider than Whale Pass. Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.

I pointed him toward the restroom. He came running out red faced. I figured he’d see the female symbol at some point before he got in. There's a guy who's posted in this thread that did the same thing in Ketchikan one time. Except he wasn't red faced at all, just all smiles.

OP PaulBarnard Campfire Ranger Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 26,421 Metairie, LA	We were treated to perfect weather today. Our friend's big boat is in the shop, so we only had access to his little skiff. I started off the day taking Mark's son Tyler tide pooling on an extremely low tide. While we were doing that, Andy and Mark took the skiff out to get some way points marked in Andy's new GPS. They fished a little and boated a 10 pound and a 20 pound halibut. They came back and the three of use went. We brought in two small halibut, and this one that was probably 40 or so pounds. Tyler's first halibut. We caught some decent cod and some rock fish too. We came back and ate. Now Andy is out with Mark and Tyler seeing what they can stir up. When you get this kind of weather in Kodiak, you take full advantage of it.
