In Ucluelet ... Fishing ...

September 12, 2016

We arrived in Ucluelet around noon ...

and were out on the water ... shortly after ...

It was a beautiful day ... calm waters in the bay ...

and a few waves out on the ocean ...

Mike and Ron set up all the gear and we were fishing ...

Once again ... I caught the first fish ...

a 30lb (13.7kg) Halibut ...

it took me awhile to bring it into the boat ... the guys did not believe me that I had caught one ...

Mike had to help me hold the rod ... so that I could reel it in ...

We were surprised to find out that the fish was caught in the line of the bait box ...

so I was reeling it in as well ...

Finally the Halibut was in the boat ...

Apparently the halibut fishing was slow in the area ...

so Ron decided that we would head back and fish for salmon ...

Yup ... I caught a 20lb (9.1k) Spring Salmon as well ...

Mike wasn't so lucky this day ...

Perhaps tomorrow will be better for him ...

Back on shore ... the guys cleaned the fish at the cleaning station ...

After taking pictures ... I went into town to pick up a few groceries ...

Mike and Ron had taken the fish back to the Inn ...

cut ... wrapped and sealed the fish ... ready to be put into the freezer ...

A beautiful piece of fresh salmon was kept out ...

to be BBQ'd for out dinner this evening ...

It was absolutely ... scrumptiously delicious ... !!!
