Happy 4th of July (a day late)

Howdy Everyone-

Things are picking up around here but not without some problems. The Ambi-Fisher lost its steering the other day due to the steering column breaking. We got the boat to the dock and had it taken out of the water for a quick fix, it was back in the water 2 tides later, and running great. The fishing has defiantly picked up around here. We started off the season with 3,000-5,000 pound tides and went down to about 400 pound tides; we are now at about 8,000 pound tides and growing. The last tide was a night tide (in the dark mostly) and we ended up with about 6,000 pounds, which is pretty good for a night tide. The fish are going to hit Naknek any day now and we are waiting for them.
We spent the 4th out in the bay fishing, and sleeping in the cabins. I walked over to our neighbor’s house where they had a bonfire and a fireworks show. I chatted with them about the season and talked to some of their green crew about how much work is in store for them in the next couple of weeks. I just got back to the cabins a few minutes ago and am about to head off to bed (its 5 am on the 5th). Have a good night.
