The pace can be fast and merciless. After nets are set they must be worked constantly. We deliver our harvested salmon to offshore tenders or onshore buyers. Fish are weighed in bulk in brailer bags. A chum salmon is rare in our area.
Every family member is important to the effort.
In addition, we are joined by crew who help out with the effort. Fishing at our site includes setting and pulling gear as well as harvesting fish. A great deal of seaweed moves with the tide near shore in this area of Cook Inlet. It is a constant chore to remove this moss and kelp from our nets. If this is not done, fish see the nets and do not get caught.
