Well it has been a pretty off summer for me. With all the closures for kings and silvers I really didn't do much fishing, Hit the copper dip netting once and got a few and that was about it for salmon.
A buddy of mine took me to a lake here by my place and we caught a few nice rainbows
And I got to hit Seward for a day. No halibut but we got a bunch of cod.
Bear season was way off for me as well. Didn't see a single brownie but did connect with a decent blackie. Bear burgers are the bomb
Team V (John) hooked me up again this year with some of his product
The stuff he makes hands down produces, I had 6 different blackies come in and sniff his sow in heat stuff. and they pretty much cleaned out the barrels everytime,
I just could not get on them, Every time I thought I had them dialed in they never showed up.
I hit moose hunting hard this year and spent alot of time hunting with Ted up in TOK. Ted got his bull but all I managed to see was these.......
We got out right before the season and picked up a few birds.......
I hunted a few other spots and just could not find a bull to save my butt, The last 5 days I figured I would hit a honey that me and a buddy had found 3 years ago. Turned out to be a good decision
Picked up a nice fat double fork
In the course of my travels up to TOK I found these at Ted's Fur Shed second hand. The trapper that made these obviously spent a lot of time doing so. The liitle tabs he fold back on the mailbox so you could wire the 120 in there.
They put screen in it to make sure the voles cant rob you.
The back side they pop riveted so that it opens and closes like a hinge, witha piece of wire to keep it shut.
Pretty good stuff right there if someone was looking to use newspaper tubes.
Working on trying to get a few beaver sets out later this week, gotta finish putting up the moose
Be safe out there guys and look forward to hearing of your adventures!
