This Week & The ‘Money Bag’

POSTED BY IN Brett Veerhusen, Bristol Bay, Chignik, Photographs, Sierra Anderson @ October 25, 2010 - 10:29 am

This has been an exciting couple of weeks for us here at The Real Alaska. Brett debuted his Trailer about the 2010 Bristol Bay Season and Sierra pummeled the competition with her incredible Trailer in HD about the Chignik salmon fishery.

This week, get ready for TRA’s newest contributor to make his mark. Even though our comments section isn’t working, we want to hear from you! Yes, we see that we have visitors from the Phillippines, Australia and the UK… email us and tell us what you think and what you hope to see more of. Oh, and we’re very pleased that you fine folks in Alaska are our #1 traffic source!!

Enjoy some photos of different catches from the Chignik season. The very end of the net that holds the fish is what we call the ‘money bag’. Most were taken of the F/V Memry Anne. Included in this album are also the F/V Dorothy M, F/V Desperado, and the F/V Captain Jay.
