I have been fishing for salmon in Alaska since 1988. This year marked our fourth year with our own boat, a Bristol Bay gillnetter. It's a family operation with my brother JP taking time off from lobstering in Maine to come north for the season, and my son Wolf on the crew. It's also a family tradition and an extension of our saltwater upbringing on Vinalhaven, an island in Maine where Wolf's grand
father is still lobstering and loving life at 84. Bristol Bay is legendary for the abundance of its salmon run, and for the way fishermen, scientists, and managers work together to sustainably harvest that incredible abundance. Every Bristol Bay permit holder is the owner/ operator of a small family business, and we are all in it to keep this fishery going for a long time to come. We are proud to bring this wild and healthy fish home to Maine tables, and to support the efforts of the Downeast Salmon Federation to restore river habitat and the runs of our native Atlantic salmon. Make sure to like us on Facebook and we'll keep you informed about upcoming delivery and pick-up dates, and you can follow us during our fishing season in Alaska next summer.
