Jakes Alaska Adventure






Jake made it to Doc Warners safely. He rode in a bush plane to get there. He said it was fun but a little scary. They went over a few mountain ranges and were only a long bow shot away from the top of the mountain. The runway was hidden in the trees and was just a gravel airstrip.
The job he went up to do took about 3 hours but he did some other odd and end jobs around the place and helped Brett so they could go fishing. He could a bunch of Halibut and a yellow-eye.
They fished with some crazy Texans as Jake calls them. Jake says they know how to fish. They spend 2 months up there fishing in a boat they leave up there. Jake caught a scape (sting-ray looking thing) and a salmon along with some "trash" fish.
He brought 2 boxes of fish home for Curtis and Curtis is sharing with everyone and they say it is delicous. I haven't tried any yet, I think I might just try some! Jake saw a bunch of whale and a humpback even jumped clear out of the water in front of him. He tried to get a picture but I think he was a little excited! He got home safe on Saturday night.
