Mary Peltola won her election by campaigning on a platform to save the state’s prized fisheries. A powerful fishing lobby is standing in her way.

On a tiny Southeast Alaska island, wolves are eating sea otters like popcorn

Sea otters might look cute, but they aren’t small or defenseless. The otter populations around Gustavus is huge. I’ve seen rafts of otters numbering 20 or more. They have decimated the shell fish in the area.
Thanks for sharing an interesting article! 👍
Those biologists will sure figure those things out. Give ‘em millions of dollars and enough time and they will let entire populations get destroyed. Totally wiped out the deer herd there. We used to have lots of big deer throughout the western United States and very few biologists. Now we have lots of biologists and very few big deer. The problem is pretty obvious for anyone with critical thinking skills.
Good !! More salmon !
You’ve heard me point out the comparatively insignificant share of fish taken by Alaska sport fishermen. The graph below proofs my point. The Yukon is historically one of the great King fisheries in Alaska and the world. Sadly it’s doomed. It’s a shame the trawler harvest, which is largely responsible is not accounted for…
Aaargh…. The King is dead…. #captainlarry
Remember the “good old days” when we sport fishermen in Wild Alaska could keep Yelloweye?
“Learned from a longliner friend that the draggers hit the quota on yelloweye last season. Longliners couldn’t sell the yelloweye bycatch and had to give it away. DON’T ORDER ROCKFISH IN RESTAURANTS. It comes from trawler bycatch!” #captainlarry
The sports fishing community in Alaska causes all the problems…

The good ol days for sure, 2017, One of our favorite pictures from Wild Alaska
We lose a little bit more year after year. Sport fishing is not the problem. If you want to pay for fish book a trip and you’ll have a better quality fish and memories with friends and family.
Saw ADFG News Release about two weeks ago! A SAD situation for sure...
one of my favorite catches
Sure do.
Why call it “science” when it’s really “politics”?
Aaargh….can’t make this shit up ….

Another example of politics at work…. 🥴

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted. Thanks for helping keep an eye out for the political injustices out there Captain!
To say the clowns that manage our fishery are Tone Deaf is like saying dead fish stink! Hmmmmm they both stink….
Aaaargh…..status quo….kill’em all trawlers…
