Petersburg to Read Island Cove, Farragut Bay 06.19.2013

Here is a view of some of the fish boats leaving Petersburg when we left



 
A short 21 miles north was our next stop for the day at Read Island, which is just inside the entrance on the E side of Farragut Bay.  We anchored in the third cove north on Read Island for the best protection from any weather that may stir up. 

This bay is supposed to be good for salmon fishing so Bruce & Ron took the dinghy out to try their luck. Low and behold, they got lucky and Bruce caught the first salmon of the trip!!  A barely legal 28” 12-13 lbs.  Black Mouth King.

 
 


This salmon will feed the 4 of us for a good 3 meals!  It was prepared into four steaks and two nice size filets.

    Your photos and the video are spectacular! Almost felt I was there w
    As the glacier disappeared into the ocean! A what a beautiful salmon, Bruce. Seems like every day is more spectacular than the day before. Congrats, Bruce and Ronny. So few people actually make their dreams come true, or should I say, "the Bucket List" a reality.

    Love, Kevin and Diane
