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

Dave at the helm of the Jubatus

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.
