Alaskan DUers, how long is the commercial salmon season? |
|
I have a feeling it's only a month long and no one *just* fishes salmon; they fish salmon during salmon season and do something else the other 11 months of the year.

5. Why shouldn't we "figure"? |
|
There's nothing wrong with being an laborer, and if it wasn't for the fact they're trying to dissociate themselves from the petroleum industry we'd all hear about how heroic it is to work in the conditions around an Alaskan oil rig.

They don't even mention that the guy works for BP. They spin this outdoorsy man of a man but fail to say that he works in the oil industry..

he "plays"...
he's a good looking guy who hooked up with an amibitous & ruthless woman..
he "snowmachines"..
he "fishes"
he "works the slope"..part-time for 100-120K a year..when he's not fishing or snowmachining, or homeschoolin' the kids, or fixing up the Guv's mansion, or campaigning or going to her office with her..
He's her arm-candy....an accountrement to give her Mommy-wife cred..

3. Depends on the year... it varies... in general though, it runs from May through August |
|
although not unbroken. There are openings that last a few days through that period.

4. Thanks; this is the kind of information I was looking for |
|
The Repukes are running around like Todd Palin's a full-time commercial salmon fisherman; I didn't think there was such a thing.

8. One can fish for King salmon year round |
|
Salmon runs are normally in the summer and they usually l;ast about five months from mid may (dogs, kings) through mid October (dogs kings coho, pinks,& sockeye) there are many different commercial fisheries. Purse seining, drift net gilnet, set net gilnet, trolling, and they all have different times they are open. Trolling is usually open year round with the exception of a few days closure here and there.

9. Just a few months from june to aug |
|
my cousins best friend owns a operation up there but has house in seattle to. They said this year was bad not as many fish so it didn't last as long. I don't know specifics but it starts in June and goes until sometime in Aug.
