Many of the tourists that come to Seward come for the great fishing. Most commonly caught are silver salmon and halibut. I was lucky enough to go charter fishing twice. The first time I went out on the "Rainisong" in the beginning of August. My friend Mike was in charge of the trip, and got me a great deal on the trip. My roomie, Nicole, and co-worker, Nate, also came along. Nate's brother and sister-in-law were in too. Unfortunately, I am not a very good fisherwoman! But I did catch a few silvers. The rough seas prevented us from going out for halibut, but we had a good time. Nicole and Shanna got a little sea-sick, but after some saltines and beers, everyone was feeling fine! The weather was warm- finally! Here are some pictures from our trip!

Yeah- Mike!

Note how I hold the fish like a man! No gaff!

What a gorgeous day! Nate and I enjoying the weather.
