Another Sunday.... Fishing with Bears

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Bay Realty,Inc Homer Alaska

Bears and Fishing in Alaska... thBears and Fishingis is from a friends trip from Coopers Landing on the Kenai Peninsula about 100 miles from Homer....

they fly you in and then you fish from the boat... her 5 year old son Noah was loving every minute of it... Amazing how the bears and the people get along... We have a lot of bears this year ... big fire took some of their cover and so we are seeing more of them... We lost one of our rental untis to the fire... but no body was hurt and they finally maintained it and put it out...

 

 

 

Noah and the BearsIs he cute or What??? Noah in the plane   He loved the plane ride!

Fishing with Bears can be very dangerous... in fact it isn't something I would recommend ... unless you have a guide...someone who knows the boundaries, the danger zones, how to behave and what to do... much like a Realtor can guide a buyer and seller thru the complicated maize of paperwork and details necessary to complete a successful transactions in purchasing or selling a home... these days the rules and regulations are changing so fast we all need to keep on top of it to make sure everything  is right as " Rain" and the buyer can buy what the seller will sell.

Fish on! and stay safe.....

Debra, Does that bring back great memories. Not only did I see bears while fishing, I caught a 52 pound King Salmon and a 96 pound Halibut. I also fell in love ...but that is another story ... and not a fish story either (lol)

That looks very scarey with the small child so close to the bear. But, I'll bet the bear would rather have salmon than a child...they fight less and taste better. But, what I really liked was the fantastic way you tied it in with employing a Realtor. Good job!

It looks a little scary to have a 5 year old that close.  It is too close for any 5 year I would know.
