This past June I was able to take some time off and go on an Alaskan fishing trip with the boys to Elfin Cove, Alaska. We had a blast joking, smoking, drinking and plenty of catching!
Alaska is absolutely breath taking (pictures don’t do it justice) and this was my second trip of many more to come! You just feel this place and everything it has to offer throughout your whole body.
We fished with the crew of Tanaku Fishing Lodge, and they did not disappoint! I highly recommend them! Our boat was the Ocean Seeker, our Captain was Hayden Meier and our deck hand was Evan Harder.
