Fishin' II: Homer, AK


NOTE: Unfortunately, this fishing trip didn't involve either the McKellars or the Nobles. Still a good time, though. It was a charter fishing trip to Homer, Alaska in 1977 with my dad, myself, and a couple of doctor friends, also from Bassett Army Hospital (Ft. Wainwright). We fished rivers and lakes (summer and winter) and now it was time to try out the open ocean!

The docs are demonstrating the medicinal benefits of Olympia Beer. It's the water, boys. And a lot more!














We're ready to give them fishies hell! But first, hot dogs.














Our backup plan in case we didn't catch any fish? Or a reflection of my mood at the time because I had to wear those pants?













Homer Spit. Yep, that's what the area is called.














Searching for messages in bottles and Skull Mountain. Turns out the docs played a little prank on me...there is no Skull Mountain.
Dammit.
