Halibut fishing in homer, July 15-16 We are winding down our stay here, but what a way to end our stay! Yesterday we drove into Homer and explored some pretty fantastic sights. We drove into old town which is a historic little area that is pretty and quaint along the Kachamack bay. Then we drove up skyline drive. We haven't been here that long but we haven't seen a more beautiful sight! The ice fields and the mountain range along with a view of Homer spit and all of it's loveliness took our breath away. Remember, life is not measured by how many breaths we take but the moments that take our breath away. Our fishing trip was great! But we never worked so hard in our life! Fishing for halibut is similar to fishing for grouper in the Keys. The fish hang out at the bottom and to hook them you have a 4 lb weight on. So many times you bring up your rod thinking you have a fish on. George caught eleven fish and I caught five. The limit is two a piece so when you pull up a fish you decide then if you want to keep it. The boat caught their limit so that was good. The water was rough but with Bonine it wasn't a problem. A good day was had by all! We will head to Seward tomorrow. See you there, loved ones.
