The "Russian" are old Russian Orthodox they are very close knit bunch & most come from the Homer area and nothing wrong with them, for the most part they are pretty nice people that simply have different beliefs nothing wrong with that. They don't fish Saturday and Sunday and with the no rafting rule in the harbor this year when a bunch come in they just anchor out around the harbor turns it into a cluster is all I am saying

Talked to the boy two days ago. They had to make a quick trip to town to send one of the hands to Anchorage for an abscess on the back of his throat that needed to be drained and then watched as it healed up. He is done for the season and they are down to three guys now. I guess they also saw a boat go up in flames. Crazy times. Said fishing was slow but picking up each day with more and more fish.

If you believe the port Mollar numbers and they tend to be pretty accurate the peak is still a week away everything is running late so tell em all to hang in there the fish are coming they all just doing a quarantine before pushing into the rivers🤣

Speaking of quarantine, they had two school district construction workers they let into the village test positive for the Wu flu.

The buyer promptly quit buying fish in our Y-2 district so we don't get to fish the summer season here.

Hoping we get to fall fish now.

Otter Im sure from the sounds of it you are busy as heck was wondering if the average weight came up at all on the fish? I hear the Ekuk set Netters plugged Ekuk cannery this morning and lots of boat loads last night drifters are just getting started again hope they are all loading up

Yup the fish showed with a vengeance my wife's cousin set nets over at Nushagak point and he had a record set yesterday saw a video of the set looked like every two or three pains in the net had a fish in it that’s some pretty insane fishing

Listening in on shedule is good way to get a feel of what's happening
Since we are doing more texts even harder for me to know what the other tenders are holding
The run is on, bought #32,109 Monday and 35,109# Tues and last night
Sleep is very long gone distance thought it
Waiting to unload now, backing up plant all the fish ,
But they are on it

No update from the boy, but from the sounds of things, the fish have arrived and the fishing is good. I hope the price holds and they fill up.

My son came up day before yesterday had a minor issue to work on while buying was suspended they took time for a steam and had a few stories to tell fishing the last four days at that point had been absolutely insane he has been fishing since high school and is now a drift permit owner when he says this I know he is happy and the bills are paid and the boat has been loaded multiple times. I could tell more but am sworn to secrecy but the words sunk nets came out of him multiple times smile He was wishing it was a normal year no covid crap he wanted his 9 yr old on the boat to pitch fish

Talked to the boy yesterday and fishing has been about average for them. They did a transfer and are picking up the deckhand that had to head to Anchorage. Hopefully the fish are still running when they head out.
