For as Long as I can remember I have always dreamed of going to Alaska. So when an opportunity presented it self I jumped.  Thanks to the wonderful folks at the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute who made this trip of a lifetime possible.www.alaskaseafood.org

On our second day at sea aboard the Sikumi http://www.sikumi.com/ the group I was with got to board Scott McAllister’s Purse Seiner boat to see how they catch salmon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seine_fishing  Scott and his crew had been out for a while already when we  caught up to them near Chatham Straits. Fishing these waters for more than forty years Scott knows a great spot when he see it.

Thanks to Scott,Jake & Mike McAllister, Owen Kelly And Dave McCasland for letting us see how they Catch 20 Tons of Salmon. Video From Scott McAllisters Salmon Catch
