Fishing with Gregg: Pins and Needles

Pins and Needles

We are waiting with great expectations of a lot of salmon coming in soon. I picked up Micheal Perry my third crew member today and the boat should be finished tonight. Subsistence nets have been catching sockeye and beluga have been sighted all over. Even when you get out of the boat you can feel them hit your legs. It will be soon.

Explanation of how it all works.

On the side bar is a few tools that you can use to get an idea of what I'm doing. First the Fish and Game announcement feed tells you when we are open for fishing. Fish and Game opens the bay for fishing or closes it to allow escapement of fish to the spawning grounds. If you fish during a closure or are late to pick up your nets the state troopers will take your gear and fine you at least three thousand dollars. Second the tide table link is useful because we usually fish the tide switches or the floods. You can tell almost exactly if we are on the boat or not. Another link that is good is the Dillingham website, it has a harbor cam that you can watch to see if we are in town for the weekend or at the end of the season.
