There are all sizes in the bay, but most charters will drive a handful of hours out in the morning to get to the better spots. The fish I caught in this video were pretty small. There are chicken holes throughout the bay filled with 20-30 pounders that the larger boats access. The key to it all is chumming. Halibut hunt with their nose. Some charters even set up bait stations over night before bringing groups out in the morning to ensure they get on the fish.

I do have my guide license, but hardly use it because I have a 9-5 M-F. I'm very responsive on here, so ask away with every and any questions. Also, if time works out when you are in town, I'd be happy to meet you down there to give you a couple pointers.

It was a good day! I'm hopeful to get to flat horn lake or susitna station one day. Maybe next time I can make it all the way.

I hear that a lot. Once the cabin is heated the propane keeps up and regulates temperature great. It's just the initial heat up that takes a while. I might add a space heater or something hooked up to a generator to hit it when we first get there.

Thank you so much! So kind. Cheers!

Thanks

Alaska mining and diving call it snow mobile. Blame them!

It was a great day! Wish we had more snow this time of year! We had both out. My machine is a Skandic. My friend's is an Expedition. Both are awesome machines. They are basically identical from behind the ski base and suspension and back. The Skandic is a little narrower and tippy, but that works well in powder. The expedition is wider, more stable, a little nicer on trail, but is still perfectly capable off trail. The biggest difference is the suspension. The A arms on the expedition vs. the pogos on the skandic. Great machines!

Hah! Practice, practice, practice! My top advice is to use side mirrors over anything else and the move or adjustment you need happens "before" you think you need it.

I use a DJI mini 4 pro. I drive it with the provided screen. It's pretty easy to fly after following the tutorial it comes with. The battery doesn't last long at all, I still only have one battery, but I'll probably get another if I plan to use it for more than 20-30 minutes at a time. Cheers!

@wickedalaska awesome, thanks dude 🤙🏽

@@mr.d9922 you bet! Let me know when you get some footage up with it. I'll check it out!

The duck has a lot of fans. It's my favorite for sure.

Ahah! Too perfect!

The dino is great, especially if snow conditions are perfect.

@wickedalaska I'm in las vegas nv

@DonnaGleason-x2z do you guys ever get snow there? Maybe in the mountains?

@@wickedalaska yes Mt Charleston 45 minutes from house 🏠

🦖

I hope you have a good holiday season.

You are the first snowman I've heard. Finally some love for the snowman!

Hah. The snowball business may not be for you after all.

It's just the right amount of detail to make it work perfectly. I agree!

My favorite is the duck as well. Love when it comes out crisp and neat!

The Dino is mine but I’ve only seen ducks

Would that be at 1 minute 47 seconds? I don't think they are bear. I think it's fox.

@@wickedalaska nope 1:07 in the snow right a couple seconds after you pick up that moose leg

@@peteabdu9179 I see it. Not sure what that is. It does look like bear, but I haven't seen any other tracks around. Maybe!

I'll definitely share more about that location with you soon! It's an awesome place we've just now found trails to access. Thanks for the support!

Hah! How that video got more than a dozen views is beyond me. Who could've known!?

Thanks! This is the first time I've worked with carpet beyond removal. It was a fast way to success! We're happy with the outcome.

Welcome aboard! Our cabin work has been super rewarding. We can now move some furniture in! Woo!

They are also great to shape rice with! Stick a duck shaped rice on a plate! Ta dah! It’s Magic 🪄 I live in a hot part of Australia so no snow.

@Burnttoastwithvegemite that's a great idea!

Fun idea! I've seen those frozen balloons before. They are pretty cool.

Every year we get to see this happen. What a life!

You bet!

It's really cool to watch them grow up in the neighborhood.

Thanks! It was a fun day. Glad I could share it with you.

You bet!

The experience of eating what you catch/hunt is a very rewarding one. I think it would do many a very good service to experience the process of harvesting from the land/sea.

My personal favorite for fish tacos.

It is! How do you know him or the boat?

It was a great meal after a long week of hunting!

@@Arctic_Adjuster it was his first halibut. He was pretty stoked.

@@Arctic_Adjuster Okay! That baby halibut is a big baby.

@@Arctic_Adjuster it wasn't a huge one, but by regulation standards, it counted as his large one for the day as it was well over 28". It definitely wasn't a baby, but it also wasn't large.

Thanks. It made the upstairs look really good really fast.

It was an awesome trip. Glad I took my camera along.

I'm in my "try everything and learn" phase. So much more cabin build videos to come! Promise!

Hey, Antonio! It was such a great adventure. Your brief was detailed and simple to follow along. It started us off on a good foot. Thanks for the whole experience!

@wickedalaska 🙂

For a cabin application this is a great product. For someone's fancy living room, I need experience in another install before I could say it's an adequate substitute for a professional carpet job. I'm guessing that if I was critical of each piece I used and I followed the pyramid pattern that the product of the install would have been better. I didn't half ass this though, so it might have limitations. The real catch is how dang easy this was!

I have installed many types of flooring before, but never these. It was SUPER easy. Next time I use these I'm going to do the pyramid pattern. The pattern I used is totally great for my current application, but I think the pyramid design might be a better end product.

Correct! Super cool looking fish!

That a really cool project and memory. Thanks for sharing.

It took us 3-4 days of working super long days to get to putting the tarps over the rafters. After that I did the roofing on non raining days. The floor seemed to dry out very quickly. I checked by popping a board underneath to inspect. Interior Alaska has a pretty dry climate, so things bounce back fast once you keep them out of the rain.

The thing I like most about this is how much smaller it is compared to the other options. One mod that I'll want to make is elevating it. I'll probably build a table of some sort to lift it up near my wood pile so I can work ergonomically.

I've never been this close to a wild duck before. They were super cool. Lots of fun little noises as well.

Quack quack!
