There Are Fish

We are definitely not yet awash in fish. But they are starting to show up. The usual battle between sport fishing and the commercial fisheries continues, but a few are getting through.

Roger and Tony one day when we got our limits (3 each).

Been out three times for Kings ( a lot for us) and finally hit them today. Nothing big but Bill Toppa took Rog and I on a all Vietnam veteran trip and Roger and our new friend Dale each got a 30+ King.


Turns out Dale was a crew chief in the same company I flew for and finished his tour a few months before I arrived. Further more, he graduated from our ( Rog & I's ) local rival high school, Canoga High, and was two years behind us. We had a great day sharing stories, good food and a terrific toast (  white rum and a cinnamon liqueur ) provided by Dale at the end of the day. That could definitely become a tradition. 

Bill was an Air Traffic Coltroller for the Army ( ours, I think ) at LZ English. He and I were undoubtedly there at the same time when I was a grunt but never met.

Rog and I have a few more days to get all our Reds and then we go to Homer for some Halibut and Silvers with Bill Worsfold. More later

Stay dry.
