Gone Fishing ....

July 11 & 12,  2012
We received a phone call from our friend Ron on Sunday ...
he called to ask if we would like to come out to the Island and go fishing ...
the perfect opportunity for us as he had had a fishing trip cancellation ...
of course we accepted
we were in the middle of laying the heating lines for the shop ...
so we said we needed a couple days to complete this job ...
we booked our flights and headed out on Wednesday morning ...
exhausted ... !!!!
 

We landed in Comox ...
rented a car and drove to Ucluelet ...
and arrived late in the afternoon ...
Ron was waiting for us ...
to head out for a few hours of fishing ...
it had been foggy for a few days ...
but that didn't stop Ron from getting us out there ...
to catch some fish ....
Mike caught this 24lb Spring Salmon ...
one of the largest catch of the day ...
out of all the fishermen ...
we also caught few smaller ones ... some keepers ... some we released ...
we were delighted with our daily catch ...

 

This was Day 2 ...
another foggy day going out ...
seeing the sunshine ...
returning into the harbour ...
 

Heading to the cleaning station ...

with my two Coho Salmon ...

Mike scaled them ...

and Ron filleted them ...

we caught a couple Mackerels ... small Cohos' and a Yellow Eyed Rock Fish ...

which were all released back into the ocean ...
