Y1
Fishing
This summer I did a lot of traveling
by boat, hunting, fishing, logging, swimming, and water skiing. But
the one I want to share with you is the fishing trip I took to my
great uncle's fish camp to commercial fish.
It was June 9, and everybody was
leaving town for their fishing areas. I just awoke from staying up
too late the night before with some friends, and I went out to the
living room to get something to eat. Sitting on the table was my mom,
and on his lazyboy was my dad watching T.V.
"After you are done eating get ready
to go fish camp," my dad said in a loud voice. So after eating I got
my fishing stuff ready, then we went to the boat and started down the
river. I was getting excited because I knew I would see some people
that fished close by us. But as we were passing our camp I was
wondering what was going on? We were actually going to Y1, and all
this time I'd thought we were going to fish up here. When I asked my
dad where we were going fishing, he answered, "We're going down
river!" Then I started thinking of seeing my cousin, and what we
might do there.
After we passed our camp we saw a
female bear and her cubs. When I got tired of standing I sat back
down on our gas tank. After a while I was getting bored sitting down
for so long and since I was still sleepy I thought I would take a
nap.
The next thing I knew I was awakened
by large waves, and I stood up to find out where we were. At first I
did not know where we were, but then I realized that we were by
Boreal, a cannery located below Pitka's Point. Then I asked, "how
much further is the fish camp?" My dad answered that Boreal was only
half-way from Marshall to their camp.
I was thinking in my head, "Holy
smokes, so we have about 2 or 3 hours left." It was a very long ride,
and that night we never made it to our auntie and uncle's fish camp.
By 3 a.m. it was very dark so we stopped and camped in the
boat.
When we got up next morning my dad
tried calling by VHF for our relatives. Finally they answered, and my
dad told them that we couldn't find their camp. We gave them our
location and they figured that we were right outside their camp. It
turned out that we were!
After the fishing opening was over we
got some sleep. When we woke up we got something to eat then we
headed back up to Marshall. On our way up, about a mile or two away
from my great uncle's fish camp we ran into some huge waves. A
couple of times when we plowed through the waves, there was so
much water that came splashing into the boat that we could not see
through the windows of our cabin for a few seconds. When we finally
got to Marshall I was glad to be home. But the next day we went back
down again.
So about half my summer I was
traveling between downriver and Marshall, and I was getting tired of
traveling back and forth. But I had tons of fun with my cousins. Once
while drifting during an opening a king salmon even jumped into our
boat. And because I had a lot of fun time flew by quickly, and pretty
soon fishing was over and we came back home to help put fish away for
the summer.
