Nice to know you left some for next year, they'll be waiting for you.

Got the opportunity to run down to Seward this past weekend and chase some winter halibut, windy and a little nippy but a successful trip.



Edward Hutzel of Hutzel Trap Company made this trap for the ATA's 50th anniversary! It will be up for auction at the fling! Talk about craftmanship! This trap is bueatiful!









Looking forward to the fling and auction this weekend up in FBX!

Be safe out there guys!

How deep did you have to go for the butts?

teacherman we were only at 250 ft inside the bay, way to windy to be on the big water.

That’s amazing! It’s hard finding fish inside these days. I have burnt a lot of gas looking. 20 yrs ago you could get them off the docks.

Congratulations

I had a blast at the fling and got to chat with this guy for a bit


From the Fling I had to go down to the lower 48 for a spell to take care of some medical stuff and didn't get back up here till May 3rd.

First order of business was getting the bear bait in I found some of Team V 's (John's) Glacier Bear Attractants here in town at Sportsmans! I can't say enough good stuff about his products for baiting bears! I even have the lucky red Teddy bear at the bait



Next order of business was chasing the beavers. It took a few days to get gear ready boat/traps but it all came together. Me and my buddy Cory went out Thursday and set a bunch of gear then ran and pulled today. I have not trapped this area for 5 years and we did ok pulling 17 beaver.





There I am busting my butt while the young guy is standing around taking pictures



And of course you got to have the tailgate shot



Be safe out there guys!

Great pics HFT.

Nice job. You got work ahead. And a great pile of bait.
