July 12th…We are now fishing 24 hours per day. The biologists have met their escapement numbers and would like us to catch the rest of the salmon in this district. In the last 20 hours alone, we have managed to catch 27,000 lbs of salmon! During our career in the bay we have not seen anything like this. The fish are blowing in (in crazy numbers), along with winds of 30-40 mph. Steve, Cabot, Ricky, and I are working as fast as we possibly can. Pick half the net, lay it back out in the water. Go to the other end, pick the other half, lay it back out. You get the net wet and it’s full of fish! We have off loaded the salmon from the boat 3 times. Blood, sweat, and tears…of joy of course!
