Amazing!!! All the wildlife wow! What interesting fish up there, I've not seen them before. Thanks for sharing
The big headed little fish is a Irish lord that swam into the shrimp pot. The orange fish is a yellow eye rockfish.
Looks like a great trip! I've been to Alaska once and pictures just don't do it justice. Beautiful country up there! Thanks for sharing
Hope the shrimping went well. I messed up on the location I'll be in, Seward not Valdez as I said before. I don't know how well a shrimp pot would do in the jaunt from WA to AK on a plane.
They should be fine. We have a 2 pot shrimp limit. Are you renting a boat or riding with a buddy? If renting a boat they most likely have pot to rent.
Those are some jumbo spots (or are there some stripes in there?). Rope. Nice to see the young ones up close and personal with the resource. They learn to be unafraid of the raw creatures and respect them! Is that some kind of herbed butter added to the shrimp? Great pictures!
I think we're renting but it's not likely a charter. I remember doing this kinda renting about 30 years ago with my Dad and Grandpa. Fun as ever. Up in Angoon. Felt like fish were caught every 5 mins. I found that super fun to go catch rock fish like that in the last hour or so before we headed in on our last trip in Sitka 2 years ago.
