Fishing at Yes Bay with Cairn

On July 6th, Cairn and I flew to Ketchikan and took a float plane to Yes Bay Lodge for three days of fishing.  We limited out two days on Halibut and rock fish, caught several humpback (Pink) salmon, and several sharks.  We put out shrimp and crab pots and limited on crab and caught some nice shrimp, which we brought back.  Due to the fishery, we couldn't keep any king salmon, we caught so we had to release them.  Also since the weather was warmer than normal, silver (coho) salmon were running late and had not come in yet.

Here are pictures of the trip:

On Saturday Keith and grandson Kellen went home, and grandson Cairn and I went to Yes Bay Lodge in Alaska fishing, while Melissa, Georgia, and Lain went to the aquarium at Monterrey.  Melissa, Cairn , and Lain flew home on July 12th.
