Seward Army recreational resort had the most excellent overnight cabins, club, and fishing facilites. What a gem of a find. After we caught our fish, we returned to the resort to the two Fish Houses to have the fish cleaned, wrapped, and iced, so they could be sent with dry ice by Fed X to points south in the Lower 48.
7:00am departure from Seward's Resurrection Bay with U.S. Army recreation boat and excellent summer-contract deck hands.
Headed out of Seward for 50 miles away near Montague Island out in the ocean.
George's first catch of the day: a
quillback rockfish.
Hal with his first catch of the day - for the "Hal"-i-but. Limit: 2 per person.
Wendy pulled in Hal's second-caught halibut AND this 80-pound
lingcod. Wendy had to stop for a rest several times while pulling these two bad boys in. When the lingcod came in, the deck hands were astounded at its size. Wendy was just sore . . . the gear on the reel was skipping because it was so hard to reel in both of these fish whose lines were tangled.
George was instructed that he had to kiss his first ever caught halibut - - it is a tradition.
