The Kenai Peninsula, Alaska
Every few years Joe and his fishing buddies head north to Alaska to fish for salmon and my favorite…..halibut.
He always returns with some great photos. Here are just a few.
Mountain goats
I can not believe that even the little ones can jump across the rock face. What an awesome photo….in mid-air. He had a perfect 10 landing.
As their boat rounded a corner the guys notice several black spots on the shore and as the got a little closer they saw a group of black bears playing
Whale spout.
A bit of the whale.
They came upon this group of a dozen sea otters. How cool is that?
Some of the moms had their kids on board
And then the fish. Here is Joe with a Coho or silver salmon
I always ask Joe and his buddy Harry to bring more halibut.
This year they did. Joe and Harry have been fishing together for 30 years. These fish weighed in at about 110 pounds. Holy cow!
This is a yellow eye rock fish and is over 100 years old. Its meat is one of the most sought after of all Alaskan fish.
As Joe was driving through Cooper’s Landing, Alaska, Harry exclaimed “Just passed a quilt shop.” Joe made a U turn and visited: Bearly Threaded Quilting
The shop was quaint and contained a large amount of fabric. Joe said Jan Mitchell, employee, was charming, knowledge and very friendly. So we can all go to Alaska to quilt shop and fish.
Bye until next week
