All I can speak of is the Sand Point section of Area M. Base price for Reds is 70 cents. Additional for dock delivery, refrigeration, etc. But 70 cents!!!
Trident has this spineless town over a barrel, and that's a fact!
Due to fuel costs, the large seiners are not traveling the 200 miles to the western capes. Thus, they fish the local capes, heads, and points 24 hours until the opening is closed, and allegedly nothing or little gets through to the setnetters. Fishers at the most productive sites claim to be doing poorly as a result.
Without hanging around in the Harbor House, I couldn't say if the seiners are doing well, but those double-wides better catch a bunch! Gawd-amighty, they must suck diesel.
All in all, it's not impressive out here. If you like, I could wander down and listen to the BS in the Harbor House, but I got tired of that 15 years ago.
But, for you Alaska Girl, I would willingly suffer even that, being so saintly as I am ....
