July 6th – Dukie’s Beach

Sunseeker and Calliope head off to Shearwater today and we head out to the Spider group of islands to do a night of fishing. We normally stay in Swordfish Bay but have opted to try a new bay this year. It’s a kind of cool bay, Mike is off fishing and there are Humpback whales playing in the channel behind the boat a pod of porpoises swim out to sea and a white sandy beach. Mike comes back after a couple of hours and is victorious, he has added an approximate 35 lb. spring to the freezer. The fish broke Mike’s net in half and being the consummate fisherman, Mike was still able to bring the fish in with one hook still in its mouth and the broken net. Salmon nuggets in a lemon pepper batter for dinner tonight! A restful night and off to Shearwater today to do some laundry and catch up on some groceries.
