*if* you ever get the urge to fish for the bigguns, Bob is the go to guy, fun trip...kinda like chineese food, jsut when you theink this is it, they bring you more! Bucket and the angler formerly known as KNOFISH are A+..no doubt


sitting in anchorage...pretty much drunck at this point...skipped the buch co to hang out with my buddies and wrqapp up a grand adventure, fly out in the mornign with huyndreds of lbs. of fresh sockeye, silvers and kings. lake crik lodge and jeff woodward are stellar performars, life is good.

I represent that remark! Tell Cheryl I'm cleaned up ready and heading for Whidbey! \:\)

...and here's the rest of trip "Wish Ya Were Here Sol"

after part one in soldatna with Bob, Corey, Rowan and Rainy it was time to go see Jeff Woodward at lake creek lodge...longtime buddy of team Bucket and Nofish, even without fishing Jeff is a whole freestanding entertainment system, even though he looks like a q-tip running his boat up and down the river ;\) flat out good guy. period.



Jeff kicked us out and said "there should be a few around here"....there was.



...after bundling up on the kasilof it felt kinda nice to strip down a bit and roast in the sun while not just fishing, but doing some serious catching, made short work of the 1st limit and we were barely late for dinner.



Day two found NOFISH craving some quality time, does it look like he got it here? I get all relaxed just looking at this pic \:\)



but, the afternoon meant gettin' busy again as wave after wave of red hot fatties rolled up this seam, we watched a few go by...and we picked a few off.

this double..



...soon turned into a triple



it did get to the point where it seemed almost silly and we were turning loose fish left and right, this hen just seemed special after luggin' me down river a hunred yards, I *needed* to capture this shot.

"Got Bright"?



I guess I am just not the party animal the "the boys" are I couldn't get my head on the pillow soon enough each night...well, after bonding with silvers off of "the point" 'till 10:30 or so I was done, not jim and pat, it was party time after 11:00 and they made sure I didn't sleep too soundly when they came in.....but I got my revenge in the mornings slipping out at 5:00 or so after bangin' the screen door 4 or 5 times in pats ears....lesson: never sleep with your head 6 inches form the door.

back to the river, not all of them were released. I am kinda ..sorta, very anal about taking care of fish, bleed 'em all I say, we were on top of it all the way, processed all of our catch and left Jeffs crew to deal with other stuff 150lbs of prime sockeye and silver fillets vac-packed should be hitting my door in the next day or so, quality and quanity...nothing wrong with that



Jimbo doing "the chores"




We did leave a few for this guy, don't think he will starve this winter on account of us.



and that is it fishing and goofin' off.

life is good..

work sucks
