Deep Sea Fishing out of Seward!

Cindy and I went deep sea fishing out Seward last Friday! It was so much fun! We each caught two Halibut, just little ones! Reeling in the fish is super hard. It took both Cindy and I to reel them up. Our captain and crew were really wonderful!

































































There were about 12 people on our boat and so there were quite a few dead fish on the boat. They would just throw them down into the bottom of the boat. Lots of dead smelly fish! On the 3 hour ride back to shore our crew guys, Dan and Bobby filleted them all.
































On our ride out to sea we saw porpoises! They were playing in the wake of the ship! On the way back we saw whales! The scenery on the way in was beautiful! The pictures don't quite capture it all!

  2. WOOOO deep sea fishing. It looks like you and cindy had fun, definatly not something you get to do everyday. Justin says he's so jealous of you right now because he wants to go to alaska to deep sea fish and kill a bear. Oh, maybe someday. Looks like you haveing lots of fun. How is work going? and your host situation?

  3. I am SO JEALOUS! I have always wanted to do that. How did the fresh Halibut taste? (again, gree with envy!) I'd love to visit Alaska sometime, too. Stinks that I can't really travel after next week. pthththth Otherwise, I'd ditch the kids & Jake and come see you for a while! Glad Cindy could go, though. Miss you guys!
