May 28 and 29, 2011:
Our seventh and eighth days fishing the Spring King Salmon Derby the month of May in Juneau, Alaska aboard our F/V Chelsey in the southern waters of Juneau, Alaska during overcast days...
 |
| DuPont Dock in Gastineau Channel... |
 |
| A Bald Eagle after a small cod fish that was tossed in the water... |
 |
| Alaska State Troopers checking fishing licenses, which we held up, and then they were on their way to the next boat... |
 |
| A Bald Eagle on the point... |
 |
| A barge wreckage on the shore where we tided up the F/V Chelsey for the night, and just after anchoring her we saw a black bear on the beach, although it was too far away to photograph... |
 |
| We were up at 3:30 a.m., and Captain Max is starting the engines getting ready to pull anchor to start our second day fishing... |
 |
| A Bald Eagle is up early hoping to catch a fish too... |
 |
| Brother Steve letting us know he's on the fishing grounds today... |
 |
| Geese flying over head... |
 |
| We didn't have any luck catching King Salmon these two days ~ the fish just were not biting...we caught our fair share of small cod though... |
 |
| Lil' Miss Chelsey our 3-yr.-old maltepoo is right at home aboard the boat in her life vest...her tiny feet are all wet, but she's lovin' every minute of it... |
 |
| Yep, these small cod were abundant during these two derby days of fishing... |
 |
| A couple of young Bald Eagles... |
 |
| Two whales feeding on herring... |
 |
| A rock cave along the shoreline... |
 |
| Miss Chelsey helping Captain Max ~ she's checking to make sure I'm close by, while Max is checking the fishing poles for any action... |
 |
| Numerous sea ducks called Scoters feeding on herring... |
 |
| A separate whale feeding on herring inside the cove... |
 |
| Max saying, "Something nibbled on my herring"...time for me to grab the wheel so he can change bait... |
 |
| No fish here...time to head to a different location... |
 |
| Scoters taking flight as we cruise by... |
 |
| A single Scoter taking flight... |
 |
| We came upon another whale feeding on herring... |
 |
| A Sea Lion watching the whale... |
I have the best time out in any weather at anytime on the F/V Chelsey with my husband and our lil' Miss Chelsey ~ even if no fish were caught we had good meals and a great time watching the wildlife and enjoying each other's company!
