A fishing we will go~

Bill bought an Alaskan fishing license and a salmon stamp, too, in hopes of getting halibut, salmon and crabs.  We are equipped to do all three, but at this point have caught nothing.  At the anchorage shown above we dropped the crab pot and put out the halibut pole, as you can see...  However, we got nothing.  As we have talked with locals about catching salmon we have been informed that you must troll at about 2 knots with your bait about 30 feet down.  We cannot travel that slowly, so maybe one day Bill will try to catch a salmon using the dinghy.  At any rate, we sure hope we catch SOMETHING.  Otherwise, the out-of-state license will be a very expensive venture.
