Chickens on Canada Day

[Johnnybear]

Well with 3 trips and no halibut under our belts we decided to pack up and head for different waters today. My son Jake and I headed out o'dark 30 armed with bait and good weather on our side. Jake came prepared this time with something he forgot last time.

Here are some photo's of our Canada Day trip. Nothing big but good table fare and a lot of fun.

Mmmmm, better pull out another hali steak after those pics.
They're not lasting as long as I had hoped they would.
Congrats to the little man!
