Homer Halibut Trip


The group of us and our dogs after the Pet Fun Run

Waiting to get fresh spring water off the Seward Highway

And the view, leaving Anchorage at 7pm

Mt Redoubt after sunset, shortly thereafter, we saw nine moose along the highway

After setting up our tent after 11pm... had to get our brats cooked

Sunrise view from our campsite on the Homer Spit

The eagle we heard that morning... they were everywhere. We stopped counting after 30+

We marked our hometowns

Before heading out on our 1/2 day charter

Cody's halibut going in the tank

Group of otters is a raft, ramp or bevy. We say rotter.

Reeling in! We cast clear to the bottom, about 200 ft

This was a halibut we gambled and threw back, shucks

Cody caught a big one! the captain figured it was a 100+lb skate, not a halibut. It eventually broke the line

Cody and his halibut

Luckily, they had a hook to hold

Using the best knife sharpener

'Milo'

our haul! about 19lbs, it turns out

Enjoying a brew at the Homer Brewing Co
Headed home, coffee in hand

The fish count

Preparing our loot

mmmmm, halibut
