Yukonjeff, your pic makes me wanna Set Burbot Hooks. What do you Burbot fisherman use when you don't have live bait? Never tried it with out Black fish. Don't really wanna put out a Blackfish trap.

Most here catch them in nets (6") but we have done it with hooks also.
we have always used Blackfish for bait on hooks but I bet chunked up whitefish would work or chunks of eel if you have them.

Ah none of the above, all i ever used was black fish, but i am not wanting to set the trap lol. But i do have alot of dried dog fish, prolly suck as bait though...hmm maybe have to set the trap on saturday...buti wanted to go ride that day,...got another 7inches of snow last night....there go's the lynx line :-(

Ok, so my first pair of bunny boots are here....time for a test drive. I'm looking for something to solve my "Deeds Foot".

The nice thing, they are built for my snowshoes.

Nice Kusko, i ordered my bunnies a size bigger so i can drop in the Toe Warmers when the temp drops to the minus 30's. Works for a long time and if they quit i can add more. Also keep some in my mitts when it get really cold out.

Good luck with the bunny boots.stay out of the overflow

Is Anchorage, AK on regular mail delivery or are they on that Bypass mail system for letters delivered from the Lower 48 ?

Anchorage mail is on regular delivery. Actually everything fly's up, i've been told. I have gotten priority mail boxes in 4 days.

Well the tropic weather is back to -30, so much for the balmy christmas :-)

Where in the Anchorage/Wassila area can you order 14 gauge wire? Does Fort Green handle it? All that is available is tie wire 16 gauge.

Len have you tried AIH? It seems to me they had some the last time I was in their (Sept.)

This looks like it might be a way to get skunk without pizzing off the post office. Any one tried them.
This is 100% Pure Skunk Essence, the pure quill, NOT a tincture.

The bottle is triple dipped in wax. I am tired of getting stinky boxes in the post office.

The lady at the post office hates when i get things in the mail :-)

So there I was, walking along the edge of a cut bank, minding my own business- when I hit a patch of ice. Both feet shot out from under me simultaneously and I did a header into the deep run several feet below. Complete submergence... hat floating down stream... phone no worky no more... wet. Luckily I caught up with my hat. It was a good day!

Isn't it a bit early for the polar bear swim ?????

pretty stoked, early xmas present, got asked to apprentice with a couple buddies I know who run a long line. Guys are pretty good at what they do, humbling to say the least.

Merry Christmas Gang!

Just a tad. I figured I would dive in early and beat the rush. My clothes were pretty stiff by the time I made it back to the truck... Pretty much just got warmed back up... lol!

Thank goodness for water proof cameras! Pics from today...

Ol' Lazy Eye... you lookin' at me?
