1st trip on the water

First boat trip of the year for me & Dave. Went out on Resurrection Bay to help Justin & Richard seine for herring for work.
signs of herring: gulls, sea lions and milt

herring sign!

tried our hand at beach seining

Justin and Richard setting the net

gulls everywhere





we tried seining at 2 different sites

but the herring eluded us

finally tried dip netting them from the boat. no luck.

ride through the pilings

Justin multi-tasking

birds were luckier than us


sea lions were curious
had a great evening out on the water with those guys! even if we didn't get any herring. I will miss the ocean when we move up to Fairbanks in the Fall.
