Its no secret that I have struggled in the past ocean fishing, and this episode is no exception to that. Never the less, it does not stop me from trying, and of course having some fun. This season, the pressure feels a little higher, because I want Emi to experience these things as well, and though we didn't find much success with a Halibut, we did very well crabbing. These licenses and gear are not cheap, but to see it all pay off just in crab is a huge relief for me, and to have some help shelling it all way amazing. The freezer was pretty happy to see ziplock after ziplock coming with fresh dungeness meat, and we will be enjoying that for months to come.
I am very fortunate to have some great connections and support in Prince Rupert, and my buddy Haeden, with North West BC Fishing Charters was generous enough to take us out and do what he does best - catch fish. The rods weren't in the water for more than five minutes before we got our first fish on, and then just like that Emi got to experience losing her first fish. Not to worry though, because it was only minutes later and we were into another, then another until we had all landed a healthy big Chinook salmon. We could have kept fishing, and certainly catching, but with only a small freezer to fill, we wanted to save some room for Halibut as well. We pushed out to some deeper water, and dropped the lines down. With the weather as rough as it was, we knew we were on a tight timeframe, but once again, in less than ten minutes, fish on. Emi winched that Halibut up from 300 feet like it was a brick of gold, but it hit the surface with a big cheer, and our freezer stocking goal was officially complete. Take a closer look at Haedens website, and get yourself out for a great day on the water too. https://www.northwestbcfishingcharters.com/
Having some cultural diversity on Destination Adventure is so exciting for me, and seeing that translation in the cuisine is just delightful. I have never considered myself a "Foodie" but the more I travel and share food experiences, the more I really enjoy it. When I first met Emi, I could barely stomach the thought of raw fish, but now getting into making our own sushi is just awesome. I truly hope you will enjoy this episode, because for me it is such a pleasure to share this one.
