Happy Fathers day.
I ran a tender for 8 years here during the King boom days. I used to eat breakfast,lunch and dinner and mug ups with Governor Jay Hammond. Working for NELBRO years ago in Naknek doing frozen Herring, lightering to the Jap Trampers out in the Bay. Also set netted out on the cut bank
Sitting here on the Yukon watching fish swim by and they have us closed for everything. This season is going to suck. that is crazy! i was out last night on the big susitna and i seen hundreds of kings. i dont understand why the season is down. why can the japs and com guys have a free for all the salmon. but us guys that just to fill our freezers for our faimlys are S.O.L.....

My son is down there as well fishing with his Uncle and Cousin. They better do well because he quit a good job here with no guarantee of getting back on when he gets back. Kids..... -TJ
Some people are like slinkies - not really good for anything, but they bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs.

Its political. Between the Canadian and the Tanana cry babies trying to shut us down, I am not sure which one is worse.

Otter welcome back to the Nushagak definitely a strange year with no kings hoping to see a push on the morning tide so we can get the smoke house full first time we ever had more reds than kings on June 21The harbor is a mess with the no rafting to the ramps and come in for one tide and leave
We get out of life only as much as we really want and work hard enough to achieve

23kings in the subsistence net this morning darn near all jacks though really strange year very few big females bring caught and the jacks are all males out of 23 only 1 over 20 pounds and 5 more 15-20 pounds the rest were under 10 pounds. Problem is those jacks all go by the sonar and get counted as reds due to their size. Big push of reds into Wood River this mornings tide we tried a set pulled and ran up the Nush to get away from them finally seeing the big early run dogs as well

My picture window looks out over the river. I watch jumpers all day. They opened us up for a 18 hr subsistence period today using dip nets only, we can’t even use the 6” webbing in our dip nets and all kings need to be released alive!
