Shrimping and fishing

Post by Bushman »

The month of May is my big fishing and shrimping season as the lingcod and halibut season is very short. Will spend the next 4 days at a cabin in the San Juan Islands of Washington State. Will try to check my cell phone when I get a chance but reception that close to Canada is very sketchy.

Have a great time bushman. I look forward to some salty tales when you get back.

Be safe on the water and have fun.

Mine is coming up next month, SE Alaska.
Hopefully will bring home enough Salmon & Halibut for the next year.

Good luck Bushman, yes pics would be awesome!

Internet, but a big regatta here at Roche Harbor so best time to be on Internet is the morning or it is really spotty.

Standing invite!
I mentioned the gale winds that got up to 60 mph so stayed at the dock. Next morning heading home this sail boat had broke anchor in the harbor and was on the beach.

We made it home in the morning but had some rough spots, did my best to stay on the Lee side of the islands.

:D Thanks for the invite . Poor judgement to call for what you don't want to come .
'Bout as clean as I can calculate it over the last few years SOH has been to the western lands twice , the PNW , the Bahamas , and is planning an Alaska trip next year .
She flies and I won't . Just stay home and piss the dogs .
I'm about due for 6-7 weeks of rubber on the road 'Road Trip' in my little Honda to visit some of my stillin buddies . I'd like to have her along but someone's got to piss the dogs ................

That is nice sized fish, Bushman. It's not anything we're familiar with down under and much bigger than anything we caught yesterday. We got enough for a good feed and some for the smoker.

My nephew and his wife each caught 21+lbs salmon the last two days up by Pender Harbour. They sure are running!

I saw salmon this last weekend while running out to the island this last weekend. Had problems with my boat so really didn't do much more than work at the cabin the last 4 days. Salmon has not yet opened in the US.

Nerdy never fished that area, are you going to a fish camp?

Yes, I'm spending a week building some new bathrooms for camp.
That and hopefully fishing.
This is work I will hopefully finish before the 1st camp of the year opens.
Not by myself, there will (hopefully) be a team of workers on the project.
At the very least it will be my dad and myself building and that makes a good team right there.
If there are any salmon in the area we'll get 'em - the area has a pretty good coho run that usually starts around the end of June so we may miss it.
Should be good for Halibut though.

Nice, it's generally $25/lb around here.
Makes it real nice when you pull up a hundred pounder from the depths!
I know that's only about 60Lbs of meat but that's real nice to take home.

Currently at our fractional ownership condo. Picked these oysters off the beach in less than 10 minutes, getting my dry rub set up for a cold smoke today!

Went out crabbing today and got half a limit. The commercial guys were out just before us must have seen several thousand pots out. I guess a day on the water beats doing choirs at home.
