Welcome to the Alaskan Fisherman Blog!

I will be writing about commercial fisheries news in Alaska on this blog. Postings will focus mainly on the fisheries I actively participate in:

• Bristol Bay Salmon
• Halibut IFQ's

Initial postings will cover some basic information about the fisheries, answering questions that I receive often, current news including the following issues:

• Pebble Mine
• Alaska's Governor Race
• North Pacific Fisheries Management Council decisions
• The Bristol Bay RSDA
• News affecting commercial halibut fishing

If you have ideas on other subjects, please feel free to make suggestions.

As a side note, prices for halibut in Homer reached $5.05 per pound yesterday!
