Yup, it's that time of the year again when I abandon Joel & Neil here at the store and go off to Kodiak for the Once In A Lifetime Annual Fishing Trip.
Cannot wait to see my Alaska family and just relax, and of course catch a few....

Enjoy a cigar while taking in the scenery

and of course eating the worlds greatest Pie

While I am gone please feel free to e-mail Joel at [email protected] or Neil at [email protected] and see how they're doing. I'll be out of the store from July 8th and returning on the 18th.

BTW, when I return Chris (he's pictured above with that tiny Halibut) & I will be opening an Offshore Fisherman Supply Tackle Shop, <span style="font-weight: bold">Pelagic Outfitters</span> and hopefully the <span style="font-weight: bold"> Pelagic Outfitters Web Site </span> will be up and running when we return.
Have no concerns, I'm still going to be here @ <span style="font-weight: bold">Camera Land</span> and Chris will be manning <span style="font-weight: bold">Pelagic Outfitters</span>. I will be there on my days off (of course the days I am not out fishing).

Posts with pictures will be up upon my return.
16 days and counting, can't wait.

We fish 75 - 300 ft depths and use crank reels (Shimanos, Penns, Avets and this year we're bringing along an Ocuma to test out).

FYI, the first week of August my buddy Chris and I are opening an Offshore Fisherman Supply Tackle Shop, <span style="font-weight: bold">Pelagic Outfitters</span>, and hopefully the <span style="font-weight: bold"> Pelagic Outfitters Web Site </span> will be up and running when we return. If we can answer anything for you on fishing gear please let us know. You can contact us @ [email protected]

Well it's my first day back and it is always a joy to see my desk after being away. WOW, does stuff pile up.

Here are a few images from the trip:

The nicest Black Rock Fish I can recall catching in the past few years

A lovely LingCod smiling away

Margaret with a nice Yellow Eye

My respectable Halibut, however, not the 150* + that Art told me I'd get this year

A playful Whale while we were out and about

Paul doing a bit of fly fishing in the Buskin River right before we flew out of Kodiak


BTW, We are deep into readying the Offshore Fisherman Supply Tackle Shop, <span style="font-weight: bold"> Pelagic Outfitters </span>. With some luck and very little sleep <span style="font-weight: bold"> Pelagic Outfitters Web Site </span> will be up and running the first week of August.
