Day 24- Seaforth Channel - Muir Island

We spent 2 nights in a no name bay off of Idle Point. It gives us a bird's eye view of Seaforth Channel, all of its boat traffic and condition of the seas out there. Crabbing is so-so....a couple of small dungeness and 2 rock crabs. We have never seen so much herring in a small bay, with pink salmon, seals and eagles feasting on the boiling bubbles of herring. The boys come back with more salmon and we are now having to eat large chunks of meat to make room in the freezer for this salmon. Mike has released more than quadruple of what he has kept. Its been a long time since we have seen so many coho around. The sports fish camp in Shearwater is fully booked to the end of August in comparison to the fish lodges in Rivers which are only40% full. The fish are a mystery!
