We were to busy catching them for chilling and eating lunch Lol. We did eat fresh fish of one kind or another every night and leftovers for lunch the next day. Dad had a few cold ones I stayed with the Whiskey and ginger. The problem with the beach is the little black flys on those Islands F*#$ Me they eat you alive. You don't feel the little bastards when the are sucking your blood until after you swip them off and you notice the blood all over your hand then for the next week you look like a golf ball. Not bad if you stay a few houndred yards off shore I was wearing a belaclava and gloves trying to get away from them. The other minor issue is it dosn't get above +15 very often there.

I think the same thing of that light blue water and white sand warm weather you have down there. Here are a few more phots for you to look at I don't have much boating experiance to share so this will have to do.

Ok, so I guess that puts things in perspective. The proverbial "grass is always greener" I guess......BUT you didn't have to tell us about the flies.

Now you've ruined all future photo viewing for me. I can simply no longer look at these beautiful pictures and think about the tent, camp fire, cold one etc. etc. All I will see when I look at them is BIG evil 1/4 lb flies with bloodsoaked 2 inch fangs.

Kidding aside, beautiful pics.

They are pretty much that bad but they seem to be only on a few of the Islands we troll around for salmon. Some of the other ones would be just fine for such an adventure just you and some of them southren Girls a bucket full of crabs(hopefully from a trap). Most of them don't even any predators on them the ones with in a few miles of main land have BIG bears and wolfs.

On a side note dose anyone run into problems from the locals when you travle out of state ot fish? Seems to me when I go out to B.C from Alberta the locals are always trying to squeze a guy out at every turn just for the fun of if.
