Caught a fair amount of Salmon, where you are now , and Alaska . Also some bigger stuff Marlin , and Tuna . And to be honest I wouldn’t trade all that fishing for my summers in Montana , and a 20” Rainbow or Brown on a fly rod out of the rivers , but just maybe a couple of those kings I caught on a fly rod on Kodiak Island . Didn’t care much for the gear fishing for Salmon . Especially the snagging the Reds , foul hook them , have to throw them back , its not the fishing I like .


Caught these speckled trout Saturday morning. Couldn't buy a redfish bite.

TPWD reduced the limits from 5 trout 15" minimum to 3 trout 17"-23" slot through August of next year when the limits will go back to 5 due to the fish kill from last years crazy freeze.

Here's a couple of reds from my previous trip.

You should get Ron to take you fishing.

He wants to take me out later this week, he is 45-60 minutes away and wanted to leave really early in the morning. Then he offered shrimping again, but I still have some in the freezer from earlier trips. He is a master at Shrimping, crabbing and salmon fishing.

He lets me drive the boat!!!!! I boated for years, sold the last 33' twin diesel(Cummins 4BT150's) in 2015 and bought the 2015 RAM with the money. We owned this one for 19 years. Never had a major problem with it. About 2800 hours on the engines when we sold it, or about 23,000 nautical miles traveled.

Note: 21,600 nautical miles to travel around the Earth at the equator, you would have to travel (360 * 60) 21,600 nautical miles, 24,857 miles or 40,003 kilometers.

Pictures!!!!

That's what I've been waiting for, pic of water, boat, equipment, and fisherman!

I've always been an avid hunter, but never cared much about fishing. Never had the patience for it, and was always last to catch a fish, if at all. Would be fun to watch a real fisherman haul in a 21 pounder!

I'd enjoy being out on the water, having a beverage or two, and drive the boat. I can get up early, stay up all night/all day, short term! I learned to water ski as a child, and got to be quite the expert/showoff over the years.[emoticon]

Was hoping to see some pics of Cummins 2014's camp site and the likely beautiful streams he fly fishes in Montana!

But but, he tows his boat to the lunch ramp with his 2001 RAM truck! That could be a life altering event for you.
