Today was a fishing day. We didn’t do much else.
We went out about 8 am. It was foggy and overcast. The clouds remained all day. We enjoy being out on the river because there is usually something going on. Today there wasn’t as much large ship traffic on the river, but there were a lot of larger fishing boats going out. And we got a picture of the Oregon coming in, although it wasn’t the infamous Oregon from the Clive Cussler books.
Fred got the first fish, but it was a smaller one so he couldn’t keep it. Then Barney got a big one, but it was wild so he couldn’t keep it.
They came in for lunch because too much sea grass and junk was coming in. One of the guys out fishing told us he caught 5 fish during our lunch, but they were either too small or wild, so he couldn’t bag any of them.
After Barney and Fred went back out Barney brought in two large crabs, and that was pretty much it for the day’s fishing.
Before we left the river we checked out another area, but that didn’t really appeal to us, so we will return to the same area tomorrow.
We asked about camp sites for the weekend, but they only had one left in the whole campground, so we will start heading home. It could take us a couple of days to get there.
Before getting our water and electric hooked up we decided to go out to the beach overlook and have our dinner out there. Wilma cooked up some of the salmon, parmesan batter bread and potatoes. Betty added a salad, and we were stuffed. We had just been talking about how one order of fish and chips might be enough when we go back to the Bowpicker, and then we ate probably more tonight. Fresh salmon is great!
But we cooked a little too much and had to share some cooked fish and bread with the gulls.
