2023 FISHING
June - July
We had an amazing Alaska adventure this year, despite the rain. Thanks to our generous community, we were able to do TWO GROUPS of Veterans this year!!
GROUP1 - We met up in Anchorage, and stopped by the wildlife refuge and waterfalls to take in Alaska. A quick reindeer dog, and we were back on the road to our base camp in Soldotna (FishMagnet). Day two was an early morning rise as we headed to Homer for our first halibut fishing trip. After a day on the water, the boys were limited out, and we headed back to camp for a fresh Halibut fish fry. Day three was another early morning, as the Vets headed up to Russian River for salmon fishing, and to experience "combat fishing" first hand. Again it was another successful trip as everyone limited out mid-day. Day three is my favorite day when we head to Nikiski and take part in Alaska West Air's flightseeing/fishing adventure. Everyone was amazed by the amount of wildlife, and the beautiful glacier flightseeing on the way back. Day four was our "easy" day, when we relaxed, and took part in the Soldotna Wednesday park local vendors and food trucks. That night was our open house BBQ, where we got to mingle with local supporters and Veterans at the lodge, and also enjoy some moose hamburgers off the grill. Day five was another early morning as we all went back to Homer for another great day of halibut fishing. Day six was supposed to be a rafting trip near Hope, but the weather did not want to cooperate with us that day, and we wound up cancelling the trip for safety. This wound up being a good plan, as our vets got to sleep in, and relax and tell stories around the fire at the lodge. Day seven was bittersweet as we all packed up and went back to Anchorage for the long flights home. Each Vet was able to take back 47lbs each of salmon and halibut fillets for bragging rights. As luck would have it, we were able to do lunch in Anchorage with both the week 1 and week 2 Veterans. It was great to have such a large group together all at once.
GROUP2 - After we sent off the first group, it was back to the wildlife refuge for bears, porcupines, moose, and caribou. All seemed to want to be out for show this time. Another reindeer dog, and back to the lodge. The next three days were early rise as we did back to back Halibut/Salmon/Halibut trips. Alaska West Air again being the highlight of the trip with amazing scenic views, and outstanding fishing. As luck would have it, group 2 was able to participate in Kenai's 4th of July parade. Everyone enjoyed seeing all of the support from our community as we handed out an obscene amount of candy from our 5-tom army truck. Day 5 was spent at Soldotna park again for local vendors and food, as well as a stop to our favorite local watering hole, Kenai River Brewery. We enjoyed great local craft beers, and way too many french-fries. Day 6 was a nice relaxing day at the lodge, followed by our traditional "poetry night" where we all get to recite our favorite picks out of a first edition Robert W. Service collection. All recitals pause with the reader randomly shouting out "drink-break". And our final day was sad to see everyone head home, but great friendships were made, and a good time was had by all. Thank you to our amazing Veterans for being able to make the trip. You will all be forever in our hearts!
