This day was on of the best days so far on this trip. After a run accross QCS in the fog very exciting I pulled up in front of Wells Passage and put out the salmon lines ready to catch some dinner and bait.
10 minutes into the troll fish on: a nice silver hits the net and into the cooler. As the fog sets in thicker I hear other boat running around and many of these idiots up here don't have radar. I pull my gear and get the hell out of there and head for crabville. Along the way I run into some dolphins play with them a bit and then continue on to drop my 3 prawn traps and 2 crab traps. Then drop my hook and start makeing breakfast until I see a black bear on shore moving rocks and looking for food. So into the dingy and off to shore to get REAl close.

As you can see in the pictures I got real close. He didn't even care at all down wind or up wind he only cared about dinner under the rocks. I spent nearly an hour with him before I went back to make some crab and eggs and coffee.
Pulled the pots all of them, 2 crab and 3 prawn traps. 2 crabs and 32 prawns later I head back out Wells Passage and duck through the islands on the outside heading to Booker Lagoon. Booker is a super cool place with a tight slot entrance which I ran the boat through. Found the deep hole that Nicky suggested I place some pots and then find a nice place to drop the hook up one of the fingers. Make a drink and pull the dingy from the roof and head to shore to look for dinner tid-bits to add to my Ti-Pasta.
Wrapped up the day and called it and hit the hay with a new book.
