We woke up to a beautiful morning! It was calm enough that we were able to go out into the open ocean waters. I was amazed at how beautiful and calm it was! It felt like we were on a lake!
We again started jigging for fish, sometimes we anchored and sometimes we drifted. It was fun to jig and feel the differences in the ocean bottom. Sometimes it was really rocky and we got our lines hooked on rocks if we didn't jig fast enough.
The highlights of the day: Brett caught a pretty big shark (I caught one too, but mine was only about 18 inches long),
Brenlon caught 3 sea cucumbers (they seemed to like him!),
Treyton caught a huge ling cod (49 pounds),
and I caught a huge halibut (110 pounds)!!
Treyton also caught a huge skate (Bill said it was about 250 pounds). We let it go, as it wasn't good for eating.
We also caught a big sunfish.
The kids loved checking it out.
It was an amazing trip that we will cherish. Lots of fish, crabbing, laughter, and most important time together.
