Commercial Fishing Video Of The Day | Salmon Confidential
Salmon Confidential is a new film on the government cover up of what is killing BC’s wild salmon. When biologist Alexandra Morton discovers BC’s wild salmon are testing positive for dangerous European salmon viruses associated with salmon farming worldwide, a chain of events is set off by government to suppress the findings. Tracking viruses, Morton moves from courtrooms, into British Columbia’s most remote rivers, Vancouver grocery stores and sushi restaurants. The film documents Morton’s journey as she attempts to overcome government and industry roadblocks thrown in her path and works to bring critical information to the public in time to save BC’s wild salmon.

Commercial Fishing Video Of The Day | Salty Southeast

Commercial Fishing Photo Of The Day | F/V Coral Sea Returns
I'm super stoked to sea the Coral Sea in southeast Alaska again this summer. This was the first boat I worked on, way back in 1998! With the advent of all the super seiners, I really hope this boat just comes out and slays the salmon this summer. I know the boat is fishy. The last time I fished on the boat, we easily caught over 1 million pounds. At today's market prices for pink salmon, that would be a great season. Good luck, to my friend Jay Smerka on running the boat this summer. Slay'em, Jay! I know the boat can do it and I know you can too. Good luck!

Fish Tech | Wireless Wheelhouse
Are you tired of huge monitors and wires blocking the view in your tophouse? Marine navigation hardware and software continues to evolve in our fast paced tech world. These days, it’s no longer necessary to have a super expensive computer in the wheelhouse just to run navigation software.

The cheapest solution is from Bad-Elf.com, which offers the GPS 2200 for 170 bucks. This device has the ability to connect wirelessly viaBluetooth to your tablet of choice. Luckliy, there’s an app for that! Navigation software is available for both Apple and Android devices. Some popular apps are Navionics, Garmin Bluecharts, and iNavX. Bad-Elf.com has a great breakdown on all the best apps here. This may not be a solution for the larger trawling and crabbing vessels, but this set up is perfect for a smaller vessels crusing thru southeast Alaska. Add in a LIfeProof iPad case and you have a perfect solution to all conditions weatherproofing. Overall, this is the cheapest solution I have seen for mobile marine navigation. Your shopping list:

The Salmon Are Here | Fishing On The Copper River Starts Today
That’s Right! It’s salmon time in Alaska! Local fishermen will head out in early this morning for a 7 A.M. opener, which marks the start of the 2013 salmon season. The webcam is a view is from the top of My Eyak, overlooking Cordova’s beautiful harbor. Unfortunately, the weather forecast is a bit nasty. Alaska doesn’t want to break free of winter’s icy grip this spring. The local airport reported record lows this morning, too. Regardless of the conditions wild caught salmon will be hitting dinner tables soon. Copper River Reds will be wisked from the tiny port of Cordova and travel across the world within just a few days. Fresh Alaskan salmon will hit stores by Friday. Ever wonder how “Copper River Reds” got so popular? Check out this recent article:
It’s been 30 years since Jon Rowley first persuaded a few salmon fishermen on Alaska’s Copper River that they might be able to do something with their superb fish other than sell it to the cannery. But even he never guessed things would get this crazy.
Today, Copper River salmon is a smash hit. And at the root of this success are a couple of big ideas, one that seems obvious today — getting the best fish and handling them carefully — and one that is still a bit wacky — a race to see which restaurant could serve the first Copper River king salmon of the season
As the Copper River season begins Wednesday, these fish will be one of the few name-dropped on menus. And the first fresh Copper River salmon of the season could fetch as much as $50 a pound.
But 30 years ago, almost none of the fish was even sold fresh. When food marketing guru Jon Rowley offered the fishermen $3.50 a pound, they were overjoyed.

Commercial Fishing Photo Of The Day | Bristol Bay 2004 | F/V Ironic
It's hard to believe it's been nearly a decade since I've been to Bristol Bay! In 2004, the price was a only .46 cents for big “panhandle” sockeye salmon. It was a amazing to see “walls” salmon slam into the nets, as we skipped over other gilnets in pursuit a few precious moments at the front of the pack. The season ripped by and I headed south to catch up on southeast Alaska salmon seining gig! I would enjoy the chance to get some updated photos of the fishery. I might have to make a 10 year anniversary return to the wicked waters of the Bristol Bay salmon run.

Dave Clark
Commercial fishing in Alaska has defined my life for the past 16 years. When I'm not fishing, I take to the interwebs and try to keep up with all tech things that move so much faster than me.
