Bristol Bay, AK – sockeye stock is on the rise, last year 2014 – sockeye averaged $1.20 per pound for the season, statewide AK sockeye price averaging $1.37 per pound. SE AK pink salmon production hit 58 million fish according to Fish & Game. Supply and demand will determine this years salmon fate in Alaska. May all fishermen/fisherwomen have a safe, smart, fun season of sinking nets and offloading to tender at a fast pace. God bless our men & women at sea in AK this 2015 summer salmon season! Go-get-em!

USCG has just called off the search on Feb. 13, 2017. Our hearts are heavy this night as we learn the search is off. God Bless the crew and captain of F/V Destination and all their family and loved ones. Salty Dog Sea Chick has taken all these pics over time with much love and appreciation for every life that goes to sea and is taken by the sea. Photo’s by yours truly, Salty Dog Boating News Bristol Bay Fishing Girl – who loves life on the dirt road villages and laying dock for each pre season, while dodging the bears while they wake up when we do hit land! God Bless our commercial fishing industry and community PNW to AK.

Golden Alaska just pulled off the dock at sunset, of course the Captain isn’t even off the dock a few minutes when he see’s what looks like 2 little paddle boats with some floats right in the middle of ship canal channel. This big guy ‘Golden Alaska’ is 410 ft. and currently loaded with 300 tons of cargo for Alaska – little boats in the canal get the heck out of the way!
