The boats left for southeast Alaska Wednesday night, and began fishing Sunday at noon. They are fishing the first couple of weeks at Tree Point, and then will be moving farther north into Clarence strait for the remainder of the summer.
I talked to Pete after their first set. Fishing was slow to start which is normal, but they have some fish on board. We will be receiving the weeks catch on Thursday night, and will have limited amounts of fresh available at University and Bellevue Farmers Markets on Saturday, and Broadway, Ballard and West Seattle on Sunday. We will have pink, keta, sockeye and king as well as fresh ikura. I’ll update more when I hear from Pete how fishing is going. Looking forward to it!
