July 6, Homer to Soldotna

Left after breakfast to return to Soldotna for our fishing charter tomorrow. I got Sandi a cinnamon roll at the coffee shop/bakery just down the street. She’s always happiest when she has her cinnamon roll. Soldotna is only about 90 miles up the peninsula but is away from the bay and is usually warmer. We have had mid-50’s and overcast days in Homer but sunny and mid-60’s today in Soldotna. Checked into the Kenai River Fishing and RV Park instead of Swiftwater Park so we would have electric, water and sewer. It’s also on the Kenai River (the other side) so we tried our hand at fishing again. Same results, (it doesn’t seem to matter which side I’m on). Nothing, not even a nibble, but at least no one is catching anything. They all say the same thing, “maybe next week they will start running”. Well, next week we won’t be here and tomorrow is our fishing day so they better start running TONIGHT! Tomorrow is 07-07-07 so that ought to be our day to catch fish don’t you think? We’ll see just how good this guide is!
