It's THAT time...again! Back to Alaska!!

[Steve-O]

Earlier this summer my better half gave me the nod to head up to Prince of Wales Island, Alaska to fish and hopefully re-fill the freezer this fall and the day has arrived! Woot! Woot!

Actually, that day is this coming Monday ...but that's only two days away not counting the weekend...and I don't count weekends.     .

I fly out of SLC at 0600 Monday, pass through Seattle, WA for a plane change, then land in Ketchikan, AK at 0900.

Stepping off the AK Air 737, walk downstairs, grab my duffelbag and step over to the Island Air Express counter and walk out on the tarmac into the Cessna 950 Caravan which zooms me to the island by 0930.

Get the rental Jeep, quick grocery stop, cruise to lodge,  get geared up and fishing by 1100.

Six casts later the first limit of delicious chrome is on ice! Lol!

Something like that ....in my head anyways.

The lodge I stay at (trip #20) lets us keep our gear in the garage rafters and the owners treat me like family.

They pretty much give me run of the place for a week while they take off up North hunting for sheep, goats, moose or caribou depending on what tags they drew out.

So get ready folks...I'm stoked, I'm packed, just gotta go pick up a few gifts for the owners and a couple others who also treat me like family and give me some neat fishing perks on their property...and I'm off!

It's a short trip this time - only 5 days instead of 6 - and one flying day home so I have planned on 60 hrs of salmon fishing, sharking, crabbing, rockfishing, jigging, and a one day boat trip for halibut is a big maybe (fingers and eyes crossed).  I'll sleep on the plane home. .

Some pics of the planned results.

Here's an encouraging photo.

The weather forecast for next week...which is about as reliable as stock picks.

Still it gives me hope for a 500 meaningful photos on this trip goal. Came very close last year.
