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. Paul, up on shore, waiting for his turn to fish again:

The boat was so heavy coming back that it wouldn't plane. It's 3 hp with 2 1/2 men in it, you should have brought the pedal kit off your kayak for it..

Nice sunstar in the one pic. See any other cool tidepool critters? Not a whole lot. Bummer, that tidepooling thing is a treat for my wife and I when we get to the coast. Kinda goes with being fish and marine biologists though.

Paul you suck!!! It’s a given. I heard he brought a pound of bananas on the boat. Was probably caught whistling too?

I don't know about such. But when he asked the captain where he could stow his banana, I heard things got tense.

Use to be like going to the drive-in theater. Nothing like seeing a Alaskan Brown Bear with half a pamper hanging outta its azz.

Yesterday we went to Pasagshak to fish for red salmon. The truck alternator died, so we aborted that. In the short time I was there i ran into a guy who sold me a Dodge truck 25 years ago. We got the alternator taken care of and managed a short fishing trip. Withe the weather being what it was, we were stuck close to shore. One small halibut was all we managed. We wrapped the evening up with a bonfire. A fox joined us for a while.

Taking notes. Keep the updates coming. First note: Gotta have old friend that hands you a boat with a GPS full of waypoints upon arrival to Kodiak. Yes, yes. Noted. In the notes.

We are in our third day of typical Kodiak weather. Rain/fog/limited visibility. The weather is supposed to break tomorrow and give us 3 more decent days before we fly out.

Read my post in the Alaska Forum.. They are getting slammed.
“When we saw the forecast for the wind on the 30th. I was telling people, ‘Hey, that's going to be the day, the fish are going to show up then,’ And they did,
Tyone Raymond fishes on the F/V Mr. Fox in the Nushagak District. He says fishing has been great – despite terrible weather.
“We were out fishing all day and all night, and it was blowing pretty hard. Fish were piling in,” he said.
