We were mid-way through the 2008 salmon season. The fleet was lined up for sets somewhere in Prince William Sound. Barwell, the tender boat, was offloading. Rather than drop the anchor between sets, most boats preferred to tie up alongside another anchored vessel. Clustered seiners formed mechanical islands on the calm water.

Warmer ocean temperatures increase risk of salmon bycatch in Pacific hake fishery

Rates of Chinook salmon bycatch in the Pacific hake fishery rise during years when ocean temperatures are warmer, a signal that climate change and increased frequency of marine heatwaves could lead to higher bycatch rates, new research indicates.

Got up early to go fishing on the Willamette. The sun was about to rise behind Mt. St. Helens. Beautiful day!

California seeks federal help for salmon fishers facing ban

California officials say they want federal disaster relief for the state’s salmon fishing industry after the 2023 fishing season for fall-run chinook or king salmon was closed for much of the West Coast. The efforts announced Friday come a day after the Pacific Fishery Management Council unanimously approved the closure of the 2023 season for all commercial and most recreational fishing of the fish along the coast from Cape Falcon in northern Oregon to the California-Mexico border. Biologists say the chinook salmon population has declined dramatically after years of drought. Some hope unusually wet weather will bring relief with rivers rising, but too much could wash away salmon eggs.

The Babe frequented Nova Scotia where his oldet brother Matthias lived in Cape Breton. Matthias was the one who taught and coached Babe baseball until he signed professionally with the Orioles. A little known fact is that the Babe almost drowned in St. Mary's River during one of his salmon fishing trip. Thank God he didn't!
