The dingy idea crossed my mind as well, but some times it is like being in confused seas with all the boat traffic - I actually think I enjoy dipping from shore better - it is lot's of fun to have those dudes cruise into your net. Do you think a dip net would work in Main Bay - maybe late at night!!

Thanks again to you guys for the had and the oven mit at Naked Island, I regret not spenging more time with everyone. A really great place to have an AK gathering would be Seldovia.

Cheers,

Joe
 
Joe, first time I looked at "image 2333" I thought "what on earth does a USB pacifier do?" Then, after blowing it up a bit, I saw what it really was.

Brilliant invention by someone. Sure wish they were around when we were raising our mob.

Ya need a beatup old classic like mine fer dipnetin :shock: did it once; with that below water-level cockpit, and all that room back there, she was a dipnetin machine :thup
Good pix Joe :thup
 
I agree, would have been good to grow up like my boys are doing, I really hope that both of my children get hooked and want to spend lots of time on the water.
 
Nice Sundog, we got our personal use fishery quota of Sockeye a couple of weeks ago up the Taku using gill nets but I have always loved the dip nets (Sweetheart creek next year!).

Just read in the news that the water temp from British Columbia south is 5 to 7 degrees higher than norm and the fish are just not there. My freezer is full already this year except for Halibut, dont know why anyone would want to live elsewhere!

Very nice looking family, enjoy it because they grow up fast.

We took our other boat - 17' Arima SeaChaser out into the mouth of the Kenai. The only other fiberglass boats I say were another Arima and a C-Dory with twin Johnsons. All the other dip-boats were either aluminum or plastic ( a great big canoe ) or rubber.

The weekend of July 16, we got our limit in about 3 hours. The next weekend we drove the boat while friends dipped. What a circus that fishery is. The tide range was somewhere over 20 feet, the current ran hard both directions. Got bonked in the head with net handles, soaked, almost swamped, almost rammed, cursed at by the commercial guys, run aground, run ashore, sunburned, slimed, muddied up, cut, abraded, contused, plus we thrashed the boat. Apparently, this is our idea of fun because we do it every year.

Now that's the spirit :thup :xlol entertainin :xnaughty
 
Speaking of dipping in the Kenai, I usually go a little later
(23rd) and rarely see any other boats. Caught 30 fish in an hour this year. I usually go on someone elses boat because I'm very afraid of ruining my prop. Especially after the fiasco at Halibut cove this summer.

Sundog, Do you have any trips planned for Homer for the remainder of the season? I would love to hook up for some Ling action.
