Deep Inlet CR Rap Up 23 August – 8pm
Harvest boats worked into the night and at least one filled up. The estimate for total chum harvest is 920,000 pounds. This puts us within 680,000 pounds in order to finish the job Saturday/Sunday.

With some luck sufficient fish will move into the SHA and we will finish by Sunday August 26. Stay tuned. Next blog update will be Saturday morning.

Several of the boats are continuing to harvest. I will provide another update tonight. Fishing will continue tomorrow until noon. Given the catch is less than we expected primarily due to fewer fish in the area we can harvest, I do not expect we will complete cost recovery operations tomorrow.
