Nice work! What a fun way to fill the freezer.
Lucky guy! Looks like you're catching some fish. Want to hear the full report with pics when you get back. Throw back some cold ones with the Homeroids while you're there.
Next year I'm taking Mrs. Hummer to Alaska for two weeks. Maybe a few days up the Inside Passage, then a drive from Denali to Homer. Also want to fly in to a lodge off the Prince William Sound to band hummingbirds and do some salmon fishing. Can't really do the IP and the interior in 2 wks but she'll have to decide what's important. She hasn't been to AK but I've made two trips there. Once did 2 wks. hiking and canoeing around Katmai and the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, and 3 1/2 months on the Beemer up the Alaska Highway and all around the state.
Every man should go to Alaska at least once in his life.

Couldn't have put it better myself. Pondering a retirement cabin up there. How you doing the IP?

Not sure, still in the initial stage of thinking about it. Two weeks is pretty limited time to travel the inside passage and see much of the interior. It may be an either/or decision and two separate trips.
In '79 I took the Alaska ferry up to Haines w/the motorcycle, stopping at several ports to camp, fish and explore, then rode north. The ferry was easy, cheap and flexible, and sees all the sights that most of the cruise ships do. Would rather spend money on destination lodging, fishing and wildlife viewing, and maybe a flyover and boat trip around the fjords. Also, the ferry goes on to Prince William Sound and Homer. Seemed like a good way to travel back then. I may have to start a thread to ask how others put together a 2 wk trip.
Spent two summers in Kenai living with a good friend who guided with his dad. Best time of my life. Fished every day I had off. You will really enjoy the sockeye it eats well. Pink is marginal I would smoke those but fresh from ocean may be better than river caught. The really go to sh1t once they hit fresh water but are real biters.
Agreed with above statement. Everyone needs to go there once. Sniper may agree there is a different vibe in AK.

Armageddon was yesterday, today we have a real problem.

Definitely a different vibe. Less bullshit if you ask me and people know what matters. The respect for both the environment and the weather is different. Landscape doesn't begin to describe the beauty. +1 for every man should visit at least once. First time I stepped off the jet up there, I knew in the first 2 minutes that I could live there. +1 for Reds. Sockeye is easily my favorite.
