i really didn't mind bagging up the fish ourselves. it was a good opportunity to get together with the other guys. lots of stories and lots of alcohol. mostly we were just trying to thaw out again. it also meant we could bag them the way we wanted. that was the best part. i already had some and the quality is just excellent!!!!!

it's not the most elegant place in the world. phil and his brothers actually built the place themselves. they worked all through the winter to get it have it done that first year. i could have had a couch and a sleeping bag and i would have been fine. half of the day was 1 hour to get up and have breakfast in the morning, 1 hour to poop, shower and shave in the evening, 1 hour for dinner, 2 hours for fish processing, and 7 hours to sleep. the other half of the day was spent fishing. that's right, you could actually spend 12 hours on the water. it was a 5 minute run before you had lines in the water.

not even the long range trips give you this much time with lines in the water. being this close to the fishing grounds meant eliminating a 4 hour boat ride every day. the down side is having to fish in small open boats. this type of trip is not for everyone.

God golly:

Thought I was back down in HOMER again. Fished Soldotna, and Homer and found that Homer FOR ME, was and away the best I could have done. Even went for a plane ride across the bay to fish in an outpost for Salmon too.
I found that for me, SILVER FOX CHARTERS usually outfished the rest of the fleet out of Homer. We went a number of time and fished MAY. Averaged 50-100 pound Halibut on teh SILVER FOX boats. Did a lot less on some of the other baots.
