I haven’t bumped into you yet and seasons almost done the boys say it hos getting pretty slow out there then they bumped another 10,000 pounds yesterday or the day before
Subsistence nets did really well for us this year we actually got to freeze some kings 😁 I just don’t care much for reds have been freezing them and silvers the last few years so we will eat good this winter

Sorry to hear your season didn’t go well whoever said tendering was a sure thing definitely didn’t know what they were talking about
If you make it back to DLG next season let me know was a crazy summer for us with grandkids and fish and the family boats kept me running now trying to get all the honey dos done
My son finally made it up this morning taking a day off then may head back out to late fish kinda taking a wait and see attitude I know his ticket back up to the Yukon river is on the 27th so he doesn’t have much time left one way or the other

^^^^^
We still don't really know. I just called my fish company to get a pre settlement advace. They told me that they are a paying 80 cents base.
Hopefully we will get a quick retro, hoping for 20 cents added to base, but won't be surprised if it's only a nickle or so.
I think the overall bay harvest might be a little short of expectations, if so, that may help boost the base a little.

I just checked the preseason harvest forecast.

ADFG were predicting a harvest range from 25 million to 53 million (that's a pretty wide range imo).
The University of Washington was predicting almost 31 million.

I just checked, and to date the total harvest is almost 31 million.

The only district that is still fishing to any degree is Ugashik, they averaged 436 fish per delivery yesterday. I think they are about done there, so the harvest will be 31 million this year.
