First we hit Main Bay Hatchery, but had no luck there, the barrier was across and there were limited fish

Good eating and lots of fun for the kids and Dad. After only getting 2 shrimp in the first pulling - Caleb prayed for more and we got 50 the next time we pulled the pots. If anyone ones to contribute to the $500.00 dollar pot puller that I want let me know, I am tired of pulling by hand.

Caleb caught this nice snapper while reeling in - at about 150 feet deep, we cooked him and a rock fish with our clam chowder that night. Most excellent!!

I hiked way up a mountain so that I could get a look at this glacier that was hidden behind some hills, it was amazing looking down over Kings Bay - we did not see another boat for an entire day.

Shore time - when we look back at the pictures we sometimes forget about the challenges of a 1 year old screaming all day long in a boat the size of an average American bathroom - but it is all worth it - you just have to be CLOSE, very Close and get an ample amount of shore time in.
