Free: Contests & Raffles.
^^^^^From what I've heard the set netting on Kodiak is a long, hard grind, whereas in Bristol Bay the fish come all at once, and it's over about as fast as it starts.I like my creature comforts; I have electricity and hot water (shower) and oil heat at my cabin.A lot of set net operators try to keep their crew occupied with busy work such as mending nets, I just replace my nets when they get torn up, web is cheap. I eat fish occasionally, but I eat better there at fish camp than I do at home; rib-eyes at least once a week, etc.. Safety is my utmost concern; PFD's worn at ALL times while on the skiff, locator beacon on skiff as well as two VHF radios and cell phone.I have personally known four people (three of them friends) who have drowned in the past year and a half, (not all in Alaska). EVERY ONE OF THEM would be alive today and laughing about the incident if they had been wearing a PFD.
Mark, I have a 19 year old nephew who has a strong back and is looking for a summer job. I mentioned this to him and he would like to talk to you about it. can I give him your number?adam
