2014-08-30 Labor Day Trip

For this trip I had as crew my step-daughter Cristina's boyfriend Ryan, and his grandfather Hal, and his uncle Terry, who were visiting from out of town.  We also had my grandson Bryan, age 8 on board.

Labor Day is a long weekend of course and we took off on Saturday morning.

I did not take very many photos on this trip as I was steering most of the time.

I'll summarize the trip and then show the few photos that I do have.

We trolled and trolled and trolled, and that's about it.

The first day we only got 1 Silver and 1 Pink.

We spent the first night at the Naha dock.

The second day we did a little better, but not much, considering all the hours we put in and the fact that we were running 3 lines.  We ended the day with 4 Silvers, and we spent the night at the Marguerite Bay.

On the last day we got 1 more Pink and another Silver, and a pretty good load of shrimp.

Here are the photos and some captioning.

This boat called the Surfbird went by as we were trolling.  I've looked at their website before and I see it is a charter boat offering multi-day charters in SE Alaska.  Looks like a great trip on a great boat.

This is our modest catch from day 1.

Here's the crew, (sans Bryan).  Left to right, Hal, Terry, and Ryan, with the catch from day 2.
