Tonight I was on the bank of Ship creek just on the edge of downtown Anchorage fishing for Salmon. It was a very quiet night with only 1 fish being caught as far as I know. Needless to say it wasn't caught by me but I did get to meet an eskimo couple who were fishing next to me. The wife was Yupik and her husband was Aleut. I suppose somewhat unsurprisingly there are quite a lot of Eskimos around here but these are the first I have spoken to and had a conversation with. I did kind of meet one earlier today but she was absolutely legless and as as she got on the bus she proclaimed that she loved everyone and proceeded to laugh everytime the bus changed gear. As she got off the bus she kept calling me Elvis and kissed my hand on her way past. Very odd
Anyhow, my fishing licence is valid for 24 hours so I will be back down there in the morning for the incoming tide again as that is supposed to be when the action happens. Hopefully it is my turn to catch one as I had some fresh King Salmon for dinner the other night and it was amazing. Puts the stuff you get in the supermarkets around the world to shame.
