DIPNETTING
We took some peeps out this year to get their family's limit for dipnetting.... Adam and I were down in Soldotna for 3 days and took different people out on the boat each day for some fun and fish in the freezer! One day, Tundra got to play with his buddy Sarge while we were fishing!

We hit it just right again and got the fish we all wanted (Day 2 was slow, but still successful!)
