Well, how's the fishing? >> Okay. Yeah. What do you What did you say first there? You said you had a king and a lingod. But >> one lingod. >> Before that, what did you say? Sorry. We first came over here. We've been here maybe two hours. >> Okay. >> Okay. Yeah. Right on. You guys are slopping around out here in it for sure. >> Yeah, it did. >> Maybe get a little tight change going on. So, >> no luck, huh? Well, that's no good. There's been some fish around and but it's been on and off. So, >> okay. >> So, where where has been the fish? >> Well, there's been fish literally just about everywhere people commonly fish, but it's like one day they're there, the next day it's somewhere else. So, yeah. Um, >> where I don't think I know you guys. >> I'm Rob. >> Rob. Yep. >> Um, are any of you guys residents? >> No. >> Okay. Um, all right. Well, unfortunately I'm out here by myself, so but I do need to have a look at You said you have a lingod. >> Yeah. >> So, >> um, yeah, if you could Yeah, that would be great. Who's the lucky ling cod fisherman? Okay. Yeah. So, I think what I'm going to have to have you do is tuck around the corner here. Linkod closed a few days ago. Um Yeah. So, um I don't want to beat your boat up. Um yeah, it closed on the 15th. So, it's well, no, it's not it's not super normal, but uh but we have had midsummer closures pretty often. Uh so, can you guys uh just tuck inside the point here to where I can get up alongside you without breaking down riggers and things? >> Yeah, >> I just driving through over there. I I would I don't know if you've been in Fortuna yet, but uh I would have a look at it if you're looking for King's Salmon. So, might be where you want to be anyway. Yeah, >> I'll follow you over there. [Music] So, this is where they catch the kings in here, huh? >> Uh, yeah. There's sometimes there's there's some pretty good king fishing in here. Seems like sometimes is kind of the story of uh ain't that the truth. >> King fishing around here. There's always a few around, but Oh, that's a decent one. >> Yeah. >> Nice lingering other than the fact >> Yeah. So, are you signed up to get the sport fish emergency orders? You're up here a lot, right? >> Yeah, but I I didn't know I No, I'm not signed up for it. I just sent something email out when I >> You can Yeah, it's it's posted at the harbor, too. Okay. Thank you. >> So is there so I can go on so it doesn't happen again. I mean I come here a lot >> and >> you can go to search uh Alaska Department of Fishing Game Sport sport fish emergency orders and then there's a system you can sign up for and it'll change >> it'll email you can even set it up to text you. Um but uh it's it was a thing that was done early on this year because of sport fish allocation. So, um, we had a few years where we didn't have a closure, but for a long time we had a midsummer closure. You may remember that on on Linkod. So, this one's actually shorter than some of them, but uh I don't I don't do the managing. >> No, I It is. I know. I know. So, >> so I'll just get licenses from all you guys and uh >> my license. Okay. >> Thank you. There's the unlucky one. >> And do you have your ID handy? >> Uh, yeah. >> Is there anything in this hold? >> No. >> You guys just just came out for the evening then? >> Yeah, we just went we just got here. >> Okay. Watch that fish hold open behind you. You guys are probably used to it, but I've watched too many people back into them. or something like that. >> We'll get that taken care of in a minute. We'll get some paperwork out of the way. And there you go. Uh trying to think if there's anything else that would affect you guys. You're you're tracking on the black black bass, right? >> Down to two. >> Got that. >> Um you can have slope rockfish, but no non-pelagics. That's all been split out. Um, so you have a set of that >> changed since last year though, right? >> That's the same as last year. >> We have that covered fishes a little. >> Yeah, it's gotten a little bit complex in the last few years. >> Um, I can't think of anything else that's super weird. And of course, uh, you should be tracking with the king's salmon limit coming down, stepping down July. >> July 1 and July 15. Yep. Exactly. >> So, So, we'll get a citation written here and then get you guys back fishing. So, appreciate you coming over here. Make it a lot >> a lot easier on everybody, I think. >> We're going to come around here. We're going to get a ticket and then we're going to catch a nice before we go in. >> There you go. I believe that could happen right here. By tomorrow, it'll be a 60 pounder, I bet. >> So, I and maybe you were the you were the guy maybe about five years ago. Um, one of my friends up there was tied up just like this out of the cape. >> Mhm. >> Lion hanging on the back, just dangling down with a spoon and caught a 61lb king. Talking to the state troop troopers. That was Were you on the job that day? >> Uh, I think I remember that, but I wasn't on the boat. >> These new engines for you guys? >> Yeah, we've had them. We got them during co. >> Oh, okay. >> We had to do a scramble. They didn't winterize our boat correctly and they um and they left crack. They cracked the block on. >> We almost didn't have any. >> Oh, really? On a >> couldn't get them. >> Oh, we couldn't get them >> on a Yamaha. >> Yeah. Yeah, because I couldn't get them. >> It was a mad dash to get engines. >> All right. So, the way this works is it's set up on a sliding scale based on how bad the violation is. So if you had a bunch of lingod, it would be more expensive. Um so yeah, so this is a $100 fine. It's $50 a lingod and there's a $20 sir charge for the court. So it's 170 bucks. So on the information there is uh info about or on the top there's info about you. Uh in the middle >> Yeah, I'll get to that. >> I'm sure I'm sure they're going to give you directions. >> Um in the middle is the problem. um the regulation that says sling cuts closed and down at the about 2/ird of the way down is the fine amount and then you can pay this online through the mail or in person at the circuit court. Um or contest it um and you need to do one of those things within 30 days. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Yeah, it's a tough that's a tough one to contest right there. >> Uh well, I mean I've seen seen people do weirder things, so All righty. All right. And if you guys are up back and forth a few times a year, make sure that you're putting, you know, you're logging things um on your licenses and anything that goes on one license goes on any other license for that year. >> Does that make sense? >> So, if you have more than one copy, >> Yeah. Yeah. >> You got to log it both places. So, if you got a 3-day now, >> come up, get a 3-day later, everything's got to be on there. So if I get a, you know, one later, do I do I need to write my license? It's illegal. >> Yep. >> Okay. >> How do you buy it in there? >> Bye, fella. >> All right. Well, that'll go to the pioneer home. >> I was saying who gets to eat it. >> Yep. So, they're always happy to see that stuff. So, if that if that helps at all. So, does that mean that you get deduct that as a charitable donation? >> You can you could talk to your uh >> your accountant about that. Maybe tax attorney would be even better. >> Thank you. Have a good day. >> Be safe, guys. >> Be safe. >> Daniel was cited for harvesting a ling cod during close season. The fish measured just under 36 in, making it outside of the non-resident slot limit. The fish was donated to Sitka Pioneer Home, an assisted living facility. If you like this video and want to see more like it, subscribe to Arrest Cam.
