commercial fishing in alaska

commercial fishng in alaska at my dads set net sight. This is how the salmon gets from the ocean to your dinner plate, and remember always eat wild salmon.

If you know your salmon these are mainly pinks with a few reds or sockeyes.

@dracco44 This is in Viekoda bay, up the island from Uyak. We are a smaller fishery than the Fields with only 2 permits and 3 nets. Our skiff operation allows for maximum load of salmon to be put into these boats because in August we will routinely fill these boats with pinks.

2002 was a hard year also because we plugged the canneries and had to tie up the nets. Glad to see the prices are back but now it seems like they wont let us fish anymore...

Your an idiot sports fishing doesn't supply anyone with fish except the person catching it. When I fish in Bristol Bay we can deliver hundreds of thousands of pounds every summer just on one boat..... there's 1000 boats and it's all natural and the fishery has been around since they fished out of sail boats, it's self sustaining. Farmed salmon are disgusting and pumped full of crap. Do some research bone head.

I'm gonna play the devil's advocate here:

Why don't we start focusing more exclusively on the sport fishing side, and reduce the commercial?

Sportfishing brings in way more money as per the amount of fish taken.

We should farm salmon in inland ponds/lakes, not in the ocean.

Get your facts right littlegoobie, I fish in alaska commercially and trust me I don't get to fish if the Weirs haven't met there standards to keep the run strong. Karluk a river, over escaped too many fish and now the wild run is not so good. We help manage the runs by catching the fish and watching the numbers. Just saying don't talk shit unless your lively hood depends on it like some of us. Fishing is life.

Weak sauce I Set net in Kodiak and there stepping on the fish and leaving them in the sun. We have bins and ice much easier and efficient set up I'll put my videos on
