Winter is just starting, but Sitka herring is always on the brain. Here’s a great shot of the Julia Kae and some video from last year’s fishery.
Demmert, who captains the Julia Kae, says Fish & Game is aware of his activity, and they know he has residents on board to perform the harvest.
He says if Fish & Game enforces the rule, he’ll “probably be out of the picture,” and that he’s disappointed the Tribe is planning to ask for tougher enforcement.
