This is Captain Wally and Misty, the fishing boat we took out for our full day of halibut fishing in the Cook Inlet. We left at 5:30am. There were 3 fishermen and 1 fisherwomen !! plus the captain and his mate. It was a beautiful day.

As we went out the 40 miles for fishing we saw otters and puffins and 2 volcanos; Mt. Iliamna and Mt. Redoubt which last erupted in 1990 and is still puffing smoke. It was just awesome.

We all caught our limit on halibut by 11AM. No small feat for me! With a 4 pound weight and 200 feet down it was a lot of work bring up the catch, so I had help from the fishermen!!

So off we went in search of salmom. By 3:30 we had caught our limit and the Captain took us to Seldovia.
