August 5, 2012:
A day sport fishing and sightseeing
with family in Juneau, Alaska...
 |
| My husband and I heading out of Tee Harbor with my 87-year-young father in law in his boat... |
 |
| We decided to jig for fresh herring and got lucky, here are the first four... |
 |
| A bright and shiny live herring... |
 |
| Live herring swimming in a bucket of fresh saltwater (we ended up with about 20)... |
 |
| The sun was definitely trying to burst through the cloud layer, although no such luck... |
 |
| My first-ever halibut I reeled in, it was a whoppin' 20 pounder... |
 |
| A striking Quillback Rockfish... |
 |
| Black Oystercatchers flying around the boat... |
 |
| The F/V Spirit hauling quite the load... |
 |
| A Pigeon Guillemot (not a duck, but an alcid - seabird related to puffins) that breed on coasts and islands in southern Alaska... |
 |
| Whale watchers heading out... |
 |
| The whale watchers should have stayed, as we had a great view of a couple Killer Whales right after they passed by... |
 |
| Killer Whale (Orca) surfacing while feeding on herring and I'm sure in search of MY King Salmon... |
 |
| A great day out on the water with family, time to head back to town... |
 |
| On our drive to town we luckily came upon this beautiful doe in the Brotherhood Park wetlands... |
 |
| We stopped by to view how many Chum were heading up Lemon Creek to spawn and they were in abundance... |
 |
| Another great day in our lovely town of Juneau, Alaska |
