The survey of Deep Inlet was not encouraging yesterday. There was no major build up of chum at the head end or even in Aleutkina Bay as had been observed by a fisherman the previous day.
Eggtakes at Medvejie continue at a moderate pace with 1.5 million taken yesterday for a total of 9 million eggs. I expect after the big rain event predicted for today that the fish will begin pushing hard Saturday.
Aerial observations of Silver Bay yesterday revealed slightly lower numbers of chum than reported the day before. It could be the fish were down deep or perhaps moved. Nevertheless, schools of chum were seen throughout the bay, including the ‘cave’ and Sugarloaf. The Silver Bay estimate is between 50,000 and 60,000.
The plan is to continue observations and have the F/V Kalliste take a look at Deep Inlet on Saturday.
