I miss PWS something fierce. Softball in Cordova, the Jacks bay line up, glacier ice in 'beverages', shrimp pots inside the narrows... and enough cannot be said for the fishing communities. Save for a particular fishing family from Homer, truly a 'gentleman's fishery'. One of these days we'll see you at Gravina!

The pay of a deckhand goes by a percentage. some boats are different than others., so if you get on a good one, you stay. you can look up some figures for purse siening boat's. some pay more than others. a good crew equals decent money for two or three months of fishing. but I can't say you would make 50 or 60 k. in three months. but it is decent pay. become a skiff operator. it's what I did. Kodiak island is a one of a kind place on earth.

What kind of pay is typical for a deckhand? I work in a naval yard right now and make 50k to 60k a year but I have been wanting to try fishing up in Alaska. Also, is walking the docks the best way to get work out there? I'm from Seattle.

Milk Hotdog the whales are certainly not starving out there I can promise you that. They get the fish in the deep water in the middle of their life, we catch salmon by the beaches toward the end of the salmon’s lie cycle when they are getting ready to spawn. The whales get first pick every time

The "Govt" has already put tons of limits on this fishery 011clem raptor. The fishery is "58' limit seiner" (limits the size of the boat). ADF&G fish counters are up the creeks every day, counting fish and making sure that runs up the creeks are sustainable. We do not fish if the creeks don't get their fill. There's your limits 0011clem raptor.

I don’t think you realize that hatcheries add more wild salmon to the population every year and I don’t think you realize how researched regulated and monitored the salmon industry is. The salmon population is healthy and will stay that way because of how the industry has developed itself. Fishermen don’t want to decimate the population, that puts them out of a job. This really is not a problem especially when compared to other environmental concerns

The fishing is so heavily regulated and the wild stock of salmon is supplemented by hatchery fish that the salmon population is really safely sustained, and there is no by-catch except or the occasional flounder. This is how you catch fish ethically

Almost all of this salmon, while it is wild, was actually started by man. These are all regulated hatcheries. These salmon runs are man made. And they continue, but many of these are not natural runs. This is actually the least cruel and most free way of farming any animal. These salmon are released as fry, little babies a little bigger than large tadpoles. They all wander off into the ocean, and live their lives. They come back in 2-3 years, natural spawning instinct, its what they are programmed to do. If humans didnt catch them, many would wind up going back where they were born which is not a natural spawning ground so they would just spawn and die and thats it. These runs are regulated. You also have to remember that 100% of the salmon, either in the net or not, are about to die. Literally they are all weeks away from the end of their life, 100% of them. They have lived in the wild, and are the lucky 10% or so that manage to live long enough to make it home to spawn. Ones that they let through are caught and squeezed out and spawned in big spawning beds (by man, literally squeeze the females and get the eggs out). While this looks like they are just going out and catching wild fish, this is all a man created system of ranching fish in the wild. Fish are happy and in their natural way of life 99% of their life. We feed the oceans with this, most of the fish never come home, they get ate by birds, seals, whales, fish, sharks, all kinds of stuff. Like over 90% get ripped apart by seals and other predators.
