The commercial Set Net season started July 11th and ended the 7th of August for the area I was working in. During the season there are only certain days that are allocated to be open for fishermen to commercial fish. The larger the red salmon run is the more days we get to fish. There are a lot of politics that go into the fishing season and can effect the when you are able to fish. The crew I worked on had a good season and worked hard. Every morning that fishing was open I was in a boat with Cullen, who drove the boat, and the minute the fishing period opened we tried to set out our nets as fast as possible to start catching fish. Then on each low and high tide until the fishing period ended we would go out and pull down each net and pick the salmon that were ini the nets. Before the fishing period ended we then had to pull our nets back into the boat and either get ready for the next day get the nets ready to be pulled out of the boats so they could be mended. Enjoy the pictures.
