Day 47 - 50 - Secret Bay


"Yoshi's Nemesis"


My what Big Teeth you have Grandmother


I like my salmon fresh - preferably caught by fishing rod


Mama told me to stay close to shore

Severe Winds in the area cause the trees to grow on an angle

Our 7 boat raft in "Secret Bay"

This little unnamed bay is not written up in any books and is such a beautiful little bay, with protection from all winds and virtually invisible to the outside world. Since we cannot find any other information on this bay, we have decided to call it "Secret" Bay. The gunkholing is fantastic in this area and the fishing second to none. All of the boys have limited out on their maximum catch of Salmon. All coho, no springs (except for one - Gordie caught a 29 lb Spring yesterday). Tony has been nick named "Yoshi the Fishing Guide" as he and Marko have been virtually fishing day and night! The only fishing problem there are here are huge Sea Lions picking your salmon off of your line. You either have to reel in fast or chance these wily (Huge) creatures trying to get into your boat to get the salmon! We have spent most of the week here and the weather has been fabulous. Fog all around us, but our little Island sanctuary seems to be immune from all the bad weather and fog
