Went and threw a net out with the grandkids this morning pulled it right back in with 23 reds good enough for what we wanted then took the grands up the river to see the drifters fishing in the Wood River special harvest area they were pretty amazed when I told them those big nets are double the length when they fish out in the bay they enjoyed the show for a bit then we headed home

Yes 23 reds will keep you busy and not turn in to a major project I personally like to also stop at about 25
Steady out here now on the slow side .nice weather clear and 60-70 degree range with a light breeze
But that's still a decent paycheck.home stretch now.lets hope it stays steady on the back end.

We did another 50 Yesterday to ship off to the kids that couldn’t come out this year and get there own shipping them off this morning was more work then I wanted but the 9 yr old grandson was driving the skiff while I set net and did a great job his little sister helped pick the net and split fish I imagine one day they will both be on Dads boat fishing with him

Great to have them helping you fish
Well wish I had good news but one of our fisherman is hanging it up for the season
Just passed on to me Trident and ice cycle posted .60$ #
Nothing heard from Peter Pan yet
Just finished a book Eskimos of the nushagak river.good history of area in it.
Now I know why you call it scandavania Beach.
The other fascinating book I also read and was just crazy is called the Firecracker Boys
It about the atomic energy commission trying to create a deep water harbor up by point hope in 1960
Never mind that it's frozen a heck of a lot and the fallout.They Almost pulled it off.
Thank God people Asked questions.

Thanks for the pictures. Brings back memories! When I fished up there we always listened to "Radio Reader" on Public Radio. It was great - part of a book was read each night - usually historical books of the region. Do they still do that?

Trident and icicle at 60 cents means Peter Pan will be there or a tad less sure does suck for the fishermen all A guy can hope for with those prices is a huge season poundage wise to make up for it a bit but it is still right at half of last yrs price🤬
