Five more salmon were caught today. Slow day. Freezer is 1/3 full.
The fish counts going by the sonar have dropped off from 231,000 on Sunday, to 87,000 today. The commercial fisherman are now allowed to gill net the fish at the mouth of the river. The Sockeye salmon run in our location is just about over. The next hot spot will be the Russian River about 80 miles north of here.
We are staying in Ninilchik hoping to go halibut fishing Saturday but now the weather forecast is showing 60% chance of puking (rain).
Silver Salmon run is anticipated to start August 1st but some locals think it will be sooner. Keeping our fingers crossed.
I forgot to include in yesterdays blog (too much wine, if there is such a thing) the story of Ken's encounter with a Seagull.
The first day he was at the Cook Inlet campground he went fishing along the shoreline. On his very first cast he caught a Seagull. Being a concerned member of the Audubon Society, Ken attempted to relieve the bird of his burden. It was a sight to behold. The bird was pecking at Ken continuously. He grabs the Seagull by the neck and the bird was kicking his ass! Both hands were covered in cuts by the time he was able to remove the hook.
Ken also wants to know if these cammo waders make his butt look big. You can email your answer to kena234@gmail.com.
Finally, this picture shows cats can be trained. These folks walk their cat on a leash!
