I would love to hear a 6-71 under the strain of 36k#. Nice pictures.

Peter pan seafoods has just posted prices
.70cent base reds with .15 iced then if premium (floating in ice slush) another nickel for 90 cent total
Our fisherman all go that extra step for that nickel
Well we are done here folks.
Final load today for #5,227 for season total of#229,365.
Not the greatest of years but with this environment we are dealing with not bad. Bills will be paid
Boats cleaned and ready to be be pulled into dry dock tomorrow at day break.
They are going to do it differently this time with air bags and roll me up into yard. Will definitely want a picture
Yes hillbilly this 6/71 is awesome .it's jumps when I hit the start key unbelievable
I cannot even count to one and she is going
Not a fast boat and with a load the momentum will carry you farther than you think.
This is our 37 th day straight on the water.59 x15 feet, I need to go for walk .

Glad you paid the bills. Praying for all the fishermen, I know times are hard, 3 fishermen attend the church I pastor.

Getting pulled out this morning
Interesting way they use these air bags and are rolling me in
So for Bristol Bay salmon run now stands at 53.5 million with a harvest of 35.8 million
Naknek was the hot spot

My first time back on Land-. Fireweed

One of the authors of the Fire Cracker boys was William O. Pruitt. Jr. The Univ of Manitoba library has his whole collection of material online. He went on there to teach and tried to set up a Taiga Research station but his past experiences in Alaska he would not let any other researchers to work out of there.

Very nice journal of the fishing activity that you have posted. Thank you

Is that a leaf of Giant ragweed in the above picture ?

That plant with the big leaves is pushki.(spelling?) And it can be nasty.itching blistering etc

Cow parsnip or puski the blistering can be nasty, you got that right.

This was actually a pretty typical set for us at Ugashik this year. We dont always round-haul, but the water was dropping fast on us, we fish in just inches of water at times.
Very good year for set netters as very few drift boats showed up in the district. Too bad the price was about half of last year though, had fun though (except for a brief medivac visit to Naknek).
Sorry a out the video quality.

W That's beautiful,nice set.thats called recovering the net then we will pick.great stuff..
The owner of this boat run his tender in ugashik for setnetters it's the Whitney

^^^^^^
The "Whilitny", a blue sort of schooner style boat?
I have delivered to that boat a few times for E&E Seafood.

Yes that be it blue . and wood
Dillingham Ak harbor

Those airbags are a neat setup. Looks like they work well for the flatter bottom boats.

Otter3006 It was nice to finally meet face to face it was a nice visit see you next year

Yes nice to meet you also. Dillingham is a nice place to visit and work.Still working my way home and have been busy in anchorage looking for a truck.Not what I really wanted to do but nothing last forever but did get 20 hard years on the last one.So pulled the trigger and taking the tusty ferry back.Hope to be back next year also
No

Otter, I was wondering if you ran across my buddy's son, Yote Robertson, while working Bristol Bay. I've known his father and family for the past 30+ years. Yote is the only man I know of to have taken (4) Dall Sheep with a longbow. He has a reputation as an extraordinary brown bear guide, also.

Sorry haven't heard that name before .must be an interesting person .will keep my eyes open
