Tom Long and company Tom Long and company joined
Skookumchuck in Juneau. Tim Foley, Greg Wickman and Mark Campbell
made up the hard core fishermen part of the group while Dan Granger (who
came with his son Jack) brought "tons" of information on potential gold |
 |
 |
|
We caught plenty of fish but.......... |
|
 |
The gold pans yielded just about what you
see in the photo. That's Dan showing off his take. Well, there were some
"interesting" rocks. |
| And then there was the wolf eel that Tim caught (and released). |
|
 |
Here's the "big guy" Tim seeing what his heavy rod could do. |
| Could that be a rockfish? Oh, just a rock. Wonder how it got that net around it? |
|
 |
Mark was happy just fishing and looking over the country. |
| Tom was happiest with a pole in his hand but....... |
 |
 |
He was torn between the gold and the fishing. It was probably a wise move that the fishing side of him won out. |

 |
But what about this one Greg? I think he got the award for the smallest fish. |

Hoonah where we took on some ice for the fish hold. Nice little town. |
| We had some rough weather along the way (great sailing even for non sailors) but we had some nice days as this early morning photo shows. |
 |
 |
We even got pretty close to some breeching whales.
Unfortunately, no one got a photo of them until they hit the water
again. This is Mark's photo.
|
| And we even managed a hot bath along the way. This is in front of White Sulfur Hot Springs a few days before it was time to say goodbye. Quite a fishing trip! |
