Update on fishing in Alaska...

(This was written on July 13, sorry for the late posting)

HI Everyone-

Well surprisingly enough I think the season is winding down… way too early! We never really had what we would call “the big push of fish” up here. On the windy days we had more fish but not a lot more; we never had one of our famous 24,000 pound tides. The most salmon we ever had in one tide this year was 13,000 pounds. It has been a really slow season but we have managed to pull in about 170,000 pounds so far which isn’t that bad. We were really hoping for over 230,000, we are close. Maybe by the end of the season we will have 180,000, we will see. Other than that things have just been going steady. We are harvesting about 2,000 pounds per tide and we still have a week or so to go. I let you know how it goes.
