The BB red run peaked on the 5th according to the Port Moller test fishing gurus and their voodoo math.
Processors are plugged, most put their fishermen on 4k limits yesterday for single permit boats 6k for double permits.
Gotta suck for the fishermen, Reds so thick you could walk on them and they have to watch them swim by after they hit 4K. So goes Salmon fishing for a living.....
PMTF Update #27, July 8
Missed stations notwithstanding, it appears the passage rate peaked at Port Moller on July 4th or 5th making it about 5-6 days late at the test fishery. The most likely scenario for the run still remains the bottom right graph (>50M and 5-6 days late) in Figure 2 of the Catch Update.
PMTF Stock Composition Status: The die has been cast, and we probably won’t see any more stock composition estimates for this year. However, we will be sending the inner/outer station results for 7/3 and 7/4 shortly. Many thanks to ADF&G’s gene lab for running these estimates in the middle of a busy season!
Summary of today’s catch indices as follows:
Station Index
Stn2 3
Stn4 22
Stn6 52
Stn8 187
Stn10 80
Stn12 97
Stn14 0
Stn16 Not fished
Daily Index (Stations 2-10) = 69
Cumulative Daily Index (Stations 2-10) = 1,132
All for now,
