Posted by on Aug 26, 2014 in news | 0 comments

Total eggtake is 5.5 million through yesterday. Broodstock numbers have not changed much at Medvejie. Most of the fish are in large schools but not pushing the fish ladder. There are many chum scattered in Bear Cove and out into Silver Bay. Estimate in the area is still about 40,000.

Scott and crew are headed out to Deep Inlet this morning with purse seiner Carlos on F/V Kalliste. If sufficient chum are present they will capture and roll into pens.

Reports continue to come in that there are large schools of chum around in Sitka Sound.
