Commercial Fishing for Wild Alaskan Salmon
Sea Otter
Tom *loves* taking pictures of wildlife. Here’s an older pic of a sea otter, probably taken while he was sport fishing in Resurrection Bay. The otter are quite common there and are easily visible from shore and sometimes from the docks right in the boat harbor as well.
Woody and the F/V Lancer
Rest in Peace Woody. May your nets be full and your seas smooth as glass.
Waiting to Deliver
The boat usually shows up in the tiny hours of the morning and ties up to the delivery dock until 5 or 6 am. At about 7 the crane operator will lower a steel bucket down to deck level and the crew hand-pitches the semi-frozen fish into the bucket for weighing and deliver to the processing lines.
Fueling Up
Take a look at how high she sits in the water when she’s empty.
