My husband and I went fishing in our skiff for king salmon,
although we ended up netting a
dungeness crab instead in Juneau, Alaska...
My husband and I went fishing in our skiff for king salmon,
although we ended up netting a
dungeness crab instead in Juneau, Alaska...
 |
| We spotted this dungeness crab crawling along the shallows of the harbor shortly after launching the skiff... |
 |
| After two attempts with it crawling like crazy and the wind catching the boat - we successfully netted it... |
 |
| I told my husband, "The crab is crawling under the floorboard, you better grab it." He said, "Don't worry, it has nowhere to go; I don't want to get pinched"... |

| Male and Female Marbled Murrelets... |
 |
| Same Marbled Murrelets... |
 |
| Common Merganser... |
 |
| Super rainy day, with the sun trying to appear... |
 |
| Male and Female Harlequins... |
 |
| Another Marbled Murrelet; calling its mate that's fishing nearby... |
 |
| Clever... |
 |
| Pigeon Guillemot... |
 |
| Max spotted salmon fry near the shoreline, and shortly thereafter so did this bald eagle... |
 |
| He was lucky and took flight while grabbing a salmon fry in its talons... |
 |
| Promise of spring, albeit late, is the sprouting of skunk cabbage (and its unique odor) everywhere... |
 |
| And, the story continues...I hated to tell Max, "Told ya so!" We ended up having to use a camera to locate this bugger under the floorboard of the skiff, then a coat hanger to fish it out once we arrive back home... |
 |
| The fresh dungeness crab made for a mighty fine recipe creation that I so enjoyed preparing, consisting of a tasty Oven-Baked Alaska Dungeness Crab 'N Artichoke Dip |
