Town of Petersburg Alaska
Просмотров 11 тыс.6 лет назад
Alaska's Little Norway - a town that earns it living from the sea through commercial fishing. The friendliest little town in the Southeast. Come see the beauty of Southeast, glaciers, whales, the Tongass National Forest. Come for sport fishing or hunting - Stay a lifetime.
It’s so interesting to me how many places are named after St.Petersburg
You guys have any land that would prefer payments in gold?
I'm trying to move to Petersburg soon!
Bring a rain jacket
Having commercial fished SEAlaska I remembered my cousin stating that the amount of fish caught was down and he thought it was to control price. I remember fishing humpy or pink in Wrangell which was said to be two years old. I dont know why but I started to wonder why the pinks were fished after just two years and came upon a thought, what if that wasnt sslmon but instead lynn cod or halibut. We had a freighter go thru our net out of glacier bay and I wondered if it could be fishing the salmon because the halibut was gone from the bering sea. Perhaps a russian freighter unloading in petersburg znd making the loop again . The freighter brought us a great white and an orca.
Since 1974 when I gill netted with my cousin in S.E. Ak. fish numbers have never been as great as when my cousin started fishing. No one seems to know ehy the numbers are low and canada is blaming America as americans blame Canadians. It would appear as if maybe Russia is the culprit. Halibut have also declined in the Bering Sea and I believe I know why. Seems tgat pink ir humoy salmon caught out of wrangell are actually young halibut. The russians are poaching the inland waters of SE AK. to offset the stealing of their halibut.
To the russian freighter that moves up from the queen charlotte straights thru the lynn canal and back around . I can recall fishing for humpy or pink salmon out of wrangell. Ak. The pink are said to be a two year old salmon but I believe they are Halibut or lynn cod which are found im the artic sea. Seems there has been a mistake.
