Mount Mirimar, Baker Island. I have big files of pictures on my computer that I haven't looked at in years. I might put up more as I sift through them.
Nice pictures, guys. Keep them coming. ;)

some pictures from the middle of Baker Island, somewhere between Cape Bartalome and Cape Chirikof. I had always wanted to go back into the landslide and lake on the nearly inaccessible outer coast of Baker Island. I finally got my chance this summer.

There you go. That is sure a pretty sight. I've got to make my way up to that north country someday. A guy gets locked into fishing the areas that he has come to know, and doesn't like to take chances on going somewhere unfamiliar. Seeing the pictures that we have of other places expands our horizons a bit.

Well, the gold one from Icy Straits is the first one on this thread. Here is another one looking at Kodiak from Salisbury Sound.

I picked up a few more this year myself. Again, I'm not really showing anyplace that I caught a lot of fish, although I didn't always do terrible.

Here is one that Drew on the Mary Carl sent me. One of the few pictures I have of my boat fishing. It was September in Neets Bay, after they opened up Rockfish Cove. Thanks Drew!

Hey, I do indeed know those guys pretty well. Looks like they were taken in the spring king Chatham fishery. My dad was a bit embarrassed by the shaggy look his boat was getting. He had already put in five months of hardcore fishing by the time that picture was taken. It still looked very nice. I probably have the least photographic skills of anybody on here. Its good to see the beautiful pics more discerning eyes like yours take.

If you reduce the file size to 480 pixels or so then it posts nicely on the forum. Picasa lets you do that easily in the export feature. I have a file "For Forum" that I export the pictures I want to post here to and then attach from that file.

Here is one of your dad's boat that I fooled around with a bit. Probably should put it in the boats folder, but we started with pictures of your family's boats here so I thought I would share mine.

I particularly like that one of the Aspasia, but the watercolor sketch affect is more attractive the longer I look at it. I have treated the definition of troll scenery pretty broadly, I know. About half of theses pictures are from wandering around in the forest on the days I anchored up. But I usually trolled right up to the bays, and probably fished in the afternoons, so I guess that I can make them count. Wandering around the mountains is a significant part of the troller lifestyle in Alaska, so I lump it together. They probably should go into a separate thread, but I really don't think it affects much.

What was the date you took your picture. This was June 30 of this year. I wonder if it was the same eagle the same day.

Huh, I have few more, but apparently my "board attachment quota has been reached". I guess that's what I get for hogging a spot!

Wow,
What is that, "board attachment quota". You would think I would have reached it.

I forgot to mention that the mountain above the clouds was a mirage. I was looking straight out to sea. A little while later, the island wasn't there anymore. This isn't a rare sight at all, but this was only time that I ever took a picture of it.

I decided to put up a few Homeshore pictures while I still remembered that I had them. Here is the Homeshore drag first,[attachment=5]Homeshore drag.JPG[/attachment]
And here is a view of Glacier Bay from Homeshore. You Northern SE guys probably take this for granted. One of the few places that a born and raised Alaskan becomes a scenery snapping tourist.[attachment=4]Veiw of Glacier Bay from Homeshore.JPG[/attachment]

Pulled the boat up to Brady Glacier. First glacier that I have ever seen up close. One moment you are in the rain forest, the next in the arctic. Nothing like that on my islands.[attachment=2]Brady Glacier.JPG[/attachment]
Anybody remember how nice it was the day [attachment=1]gggg 044.JPG[/attachment]
Down at False Bay, headed home.[attachment=0]gggg 053.JPG[/attachment] I will be back next year for sure, if there is any fish at all being reported. Well worth fifty straight hours of travel.
