Baker Inlet Lay Day

Baker Inlet served up another quiet night, and we woke to low clouds and drizzle—classic North Coast weather. Undeterred, we headed out to check the prawn pot. Jackpot! The first haul brought up 27 jumbo spot prawns. With a quick reset, four hours later we pulled another 72—smaller, but still plenty. A tip from friends had us try a second location, so we set the pot again and let it soak while we tackled boat chores and updated the blog.

The afternoon reward? Another 25 prawns—enough to hit our daily limit. With dinner plans already decided (butter, garlic, prawns!), we dropped the pot one last time for an overnight soak. Tomorrow morning’s slack tide exit would give us time for a final pull.

We scanned the shoreline for bears but struck out again. Not another boat in sight either—Baker gifted us a second night of complete solitude. Rain or not, it was glorious.
