Halibuts Evaded but Salmon was Caught

My family and I took a fishing trip to the Kenai and Homer this past week. We had an amazing time. We fished for Halibut out of Homer and although we enjoyed the beauty of being on the ocean the Halibut weren't biting. We then tried our hands at dip netting on the Kenai River. We were so blessed! We were able to get 55 sockeye salmon in about 4 hours of fishing!!! Tater did amazing through out the long hours and the new environments. This was the best family trip ever!!! We are so totally blessed to live in this amazing state...I love Alaska!
