Back From Our Fishing Lodge *Pics*

[Coldwater]

Well For the last three days I have been up at our fishing lodge. The name "Steamer Point Lodge". It is in Nootka Sound and near Esperanza Inlet. My dad took some guys from Peter Kiewit Sons for a little trip. We go up there again on thursday with friends until sunday hopefully. Well now for the pictures!

This would be the gaping mouth of the Ling Cod I caught. It tasted great.

These are some of the guys my dad took up. All those salmon were caught in the first day. In total out of three boats (not including ours) they caught 24 salmon in three days.

Heres the hook I left tied to the dock for sharks. No luck because Dog sharks kept taking the bait. Oh ya thats the head of a 22 pound salmon.

Wow, thats awesome! I just came back from a fishing trip out in Victoria a little while ago, came back with a 45lb Halibut!

Last year we went to Uculet (sp?) & the 10 years old 80lb kid in the group caught a 110 lb halibut on the fishing tour. :eek: It was the biggest fish of the season up to that point.

Matt, you are very lucky to have these opportunities. Enjoy & cherish these times.

I"m taking my dad fishing Labour Day :biggrin:
