Large Octopus Gets to Crabs Before We Do on Day Three
We had a fun day. We spent six hours trying to catch king salmon from our boat in the bay with our captain/fishing guide and deck hand. King salmon are in the salt water in the bay and weigh 20 to 30 pounds. Brian caught a four-pound black bass. The bass is supposed to be excellent eating and is coming home with us. We intend to bring home 100 pounds of fish.
Discouraged with our king salmon fishing, we went halibut fishing. We knew what to do this time, since we did it two days ago. In about an hour, Brian caught two halibut, one of which is our largest fish. I caught a good size one. You’ll be able to see them in our pictures.

Second Day’s Huge Salmon Catch
We started the day at 8 am by loading up in our float-plane with our pilot, two fishing guides, Brian and myself. We flew over some stunning rivers, lakes and valleys, through some canyons and between some mountains to arrive finally at the day’s first fishing spot.
We could see from the plane that two adolescent bears were fishing the spot, which confirmed that salmon were running. As we walked from our plane to the river mouth where the fresh water dumps into the bay we were reassured that we would have no problems from the bears, we were armed with two shotguns.

Day One of John and Brian’s Big Adventure
We ate breakfast at 7 am. On our fishing boat, we headed out from the harbor to Larsen Bay, passing the hundred-year-old salmon cannery that is still, or again, in operation by 8 am.
Our first stop was still inside the harbor to catch bait. Within 20 minutes, we caught enough bait to set a crab pot and fish all day. Half of the bait is herring that are the size of store-bought farm raised trout. The other half are bigger and substantially bigger cod. If we stopped fishing then, we would have caught an impressive amount of good eating cod.

Day Five of the AIDS/Lifecycle Event with Loree Glenn
After a grueling 97.7 miles and back-to-back hills she calls the “Evil Twins”, the Newport Beach Personal Injury Lawyers sponsored rider, Loree Glenn, was elated for the 67.7 miles of mostly flat terrain and a tailwind to boost her as she road mostly downhill on Day 5 of her 575 mile journey.
Loree had to overcome some challenges during this part of the ride that nature threw at the riders. Although the terrain was mostly flat and downhill, shortly after their lunch break in Solvang, the wind changed directions and became a powerful force to ride against. As Loree raced downhill, she had to continue peddling fiercely to avoid the wind stopping her momentum and bringing her to a complete stop.
