When Friends Go Fishing

As many of you know, July 1st marks the beginning of ling cod fishing here in South Central Alaska. Lings are considered by many of us to be some of the most succulent meat available from these waters. Although a bit tricky to find and hook, with some diligent angling, they are a lot of fun to catch. Since this trip was just for fun, the crew, myself and Meghan Hamson got to fish along with our friends, Steve Haber and his son Mackenzie and their friends from Colorado. Meghan’s friend, Justin was kind enough to take the photo. Yeah, we lost a couple of jigs and had to work a little for the ling cod, but in the end, it couldn’t have been a better trip. The trip requires the weather to allow us to venture into the Gulf of Alaska, and take three hours of running from Homer. We got there at 10AM and left at 1PM. You might notice that most of the anglers were wearing their Habervisoon sunglasses which are available online at www.habervision.com
