Our plan today was to leave Juneau and head for Tracy Arm. We thought we’d fish a bit through slack tide near the entrance to Endicott Arm, then stay in Tracy Arm Cove for the night. But as we got a little ways outside of Gastineau Channel, the wind (and…

We’ve been hanging out with friends here in Juneau for a few days (and getting a bunch of work done with reliable internet, woohoo!) The night we arrived, we went out to dinner with our friend Steve (from Nordic Tug Charters) and the guys from Calgary who are on the sailboat…

Yesterday morning we left Tracy Arm Cove early and decided to stop and try for another (smaller, hopefully) halibut over near the entrance to Endicott Arm, the scene of “the one that got away.” Our thought was that we’d fish until it was time to head back to Dawes Glacier,…

Hey whatdy’a know? Our crab traps had crab in ‘em this morning. Cannery Cove does not disappoint. Three keeper males, and two females. One of the males was HUGE. He was so big that I thought the smallest male might not be big enough, but when we measured him, he was…

We left Wrangell early (6:30am) to take advantage of the current in Wrangell Narrows. Commercial crabbing season opened this morning so it was busy around here! The current flows both ways in Wrangell Narrows, so we timed it to enter the south end on the end of a flood, using…

We left Meyers Chuck right after Cassy brought us warm cinnamon rolls. This is the first time we’ve ever lucked out on the cinnamon roll thing (worth it!). The first time in Meyers Chuck, we called but Cassy’s husband said she was out of town and we definitely didn’t want…

It rained for a while this morning in Helm Bay, but when it stopped it was so still and quiet. After a little while, the sky cleared a little bit, the sun popped through, and it was just spectacular. Kevin fished off the dock a little bit with the new…
