“But I got to stop wishin', got to go fishin' Down to rock bottom again Just a few friends, just a few friends” (pictures)

Some pictures of me not catching anything in Alaska/Washington (we had no idea what we were doing). That big school of coho was right off the cruise ship dock but they weren't interested in eating. Some guy was snagging them for fun though. Couldn't get a nibble, fresh or salt, trout or salmon. I'll have to go back up there another time and have someone who knows what they're doing teach me lol.

Bait for Salmon in the rivers/streams look like salmon eggs. Apparently, they see them on their way to spawn and pick them up to take to the spawning place.

Now, if you really want a challenge and want to get intimately familiar with the Interior of Alaska, try and book you a guide and trip on Chitna for a dip-netting experience. Don't forget to get your "Where the Hell is Chitna" bumper sticker while there.

We dip netted from the bank where you have to tie yourself to a tree. Lol

Pro Tip: Don't fall in cause you will never be seen again.

I’ve been saying for a while now that I’m not bad at fishing. The fish are bad at being caught
