On our second
morning fog blanketed Sitka Sound with a ghostly see-through,
off-white thickness. Radar and a GPS video plotter guided
us safely through the thick, early morning mist. Slowly but
surely Greg guided the boat to the day's fishing paradise.
This morning, instead of anchor mooching, Greg favored drift
mooching closer to shore, where we might have a chance at
big lingcod. While we drifted close to the shoreline of Kruzof
Island, the sun erased the fog, revealing beautiful Mount
Edgecumbe, a once powerful volcano. When fish appeared on
the scope, we tumbled our baits toward their depth, usually
into an awaiting coho's mouth.
