A big part of the Juneau culture revolves around fishing. May is the spring king salmon fishing derby and many people spend their free time out in their boats trying to reel in the big one. The weather the last few days has been perfect for wetting the hooks. I am more of a social fisherman. I love being out on the water, enjoying the astonishing beauty of Southeast Alaska but I generally don't fish alone. Someday I hope to own my own boat for greater freedom in this water-locked region.
