The Jig is up

July 7


It almost looked like it was going to be sunny yesterday, plus the tide book said good day for fishing. It tells you this buy a silhouette of a fish. The bigger the fish the better the fishing? it rained all day and The tide book was correct. Jill and I both caught two Halibut each. We switched from jig fishing to bait, the back end of a salmon head. We kept one, maybe 18lbs, kind of small but we were dying for halibut, plus, although I don’t know who “they” are, I remember that “they” say that the smaller Halibut are better eating. It was very good. Baked and broiled with mayonnaise and cappers topped with a crab buerre blanc sauce.

Today it actually is sunny out, but who knows for how long. We will probably go and pull the crab pot and head to the lodge to drop off a Sockeye Salmon that we had to kill and sample. We are hoping that Charlie has returned from town with the third season of The Sopranos.
