One last time

Aug 8th:

We ended up staying in town way longer than we expected, but it was for a good cause. Jonathan did some much-needed reconstruction on the boat end of the seine, so now hopefully fish won’t be able to run out of our net so easily.

Not much else went on. I went hiking with my girlfriend Megan and her friend Audrey up to the reservoir just for a quick bit before work began. I think she is planning on dragging me up a nearby mountain before the end of the year, which will be interesting.

The fish just don’t want to end. I know by saying that, I have jinxed us and now they will run away never to be seen again.

But anyways the fishing is still extraordinary around here. We did 5 sets to get our limit for the day, and then had to run the last of our fish back to the cannery here in town. It kind of sucks to have to run for 3 hours and then deliver, but it means we get to come back to town every day, which is nice.

I did another set in the skiff yesterday, for our last one of the day. It would be nice to stick around Gravina for a little longer just so that I can get some more practice on these really easy sets before thing like snags and currents start becoming an issue. Oh well, I’ll have to deal with them eventually anyways.

Total poundage for the day: 50000
