I took my casting setup and walked up and down the lake shore. Once the lighting started I packed up and headed in doors.  No fish caught, but was a great walk.

Hot day at the Lake Shore

Temp - 92 (heat index 110)
Hazy
Time: 2 hours (is all I could spend outside)

I decided to walk down to "The Point", it is a large point near Hyde Park, it is a smallish peninsula into Lake Michigan south of the loop in Chicago.  I brought the fly rod and threw some poppers hoping to catch some crappies near the docks. I picked up 3 bluegills.  Over all good afternoon for a 2 hour walk.

Alaska Fishing Trip

Wow what an amazing fishing trip in Alaska.

We spent 14 hours on the boat fishing.  Five hours trolling for Salmon, and Nine Halibut fishing.

I will post some picks when I get home this evening.

Ended up with two halibut in the boat (daily limit) and six salmon (5 pink and 1 silver/choho).

The halibut were 25 lbs and 32 lbs. The pink salmon were ~8 lbs each and the silver was 15 lbs.

Over all great trip.
