Thanks for the schedule. Those of us who love Salmon are grateful to know when they are running. It also clarifies how long various crab seasons last.

I just took a look at Marine Traffic. The Wizard and Cornelia Marie are already in Dutch Harbor...Summer Bay in Homer, Time Bandit is off the coast of Alaska, looking to be headed towards Dutch Harbor. Others still in Seattle. Hard to believe they're about to go out again already.

Have not added to this thread for a while.. On Saturday Mike Wilson and crew flew in to pick up the Kiska Sea that has been tied up here in King Cove since opie season. They departed the same day. Just got off the phone with Jake Anderson. He was calling to say that he should be leaving tomorrow sometime. If you are in Seattle, you might catch him going through the locks some time mid day

Thanks for the info. It would be really neat to see him going through the locks.

Cornelia Marie arrived yesterday. Spoke to Casey for a minute, did not ask if Josh was on board. Kodiak arrived last night, and I was able to talk to Murray for a little while today. Just checked AIS to see where Saga is at, and he is in the middle of the Gulf of Alaska about 2 1/2 days from King Cove

Saga arrived a couple days ago,and I saw Jake briefly. He is still at the dock assembling a new salmon sorting system. Cornelia Marie tendered for one day and is now headed for Bristol Bay.

Well...Jake's been working out of King Cove for close to a month now. I can confirm that he is a screamer. I could hear him yelling at one of his crew members while tied to the dock,and I was close to 50 feet away. He loves being tied up to the dock as much as possible. We call these guys "docksuckers" as they take up valuable dock space when others need to get to the dock to take care of business. It's a pain to try to get these guys top move when needed. He's gaining a reputation for not being very bright, and is pretty needy at times.
But,the boat still looks nice and pretty. I've been talking to two other guys that run boats that are owned by Lenny Herzog. They are pissed because Saga has been in the yard every year for paint, while these other two boats are need yard work very badly.
The Saga is becoming a bit of a joke

Not surprising to hear that about the Saga. When Jake had the bow painted in similarly to the Northwestern it made me cringe. So obvious that he was trying to emulate and then outdo his mentor. Before putting in the years of hard work.

Jake is gone for the remainder of the season, Bob Perkey is back on there for the rest of the season. Nothing dramatic, I think this was scheduled to get Jake some time off.
Incentive went by King Cove last night. I was able to speak briefly with the current skipper on the VHF radio

Cornelia Marie was here for a day or so. Brought us a few salmon from Bristol Bay. Now they are headed for Prince William Sound. I had a chance to visit with Casey for a while, and got his thoughts on a few things. He is thoroughly disgusted with Edgar, and says he will not ever have anything more to do with him. He says that from all the guys he has dealings with from the show, Jake is his favorite. He is certain that Jake does not use drugs any more, but Red Bull affects him almost like amphetamines. Casey is tired of doing the show, but likes the money. He said he really missed the money when they were not on the show for a season. He is tired of the Josh storyline. He really enjoys tendering with no cameras and no Josh on board

TY, King for the info. I can understand Casey's feelings about Edgar. I like Casey and have always felt bad for him having to deal with Josh and his crap. Josh still only wants to be there when the cameras are there. As long as some people continue to buy into the crap Josh is spewing about this being his "legacy", he will continue to be a thorn in Casey's side and DC will be there to stoke the ego of Josh. I admit, I was never ever a fan of Josh and I really liked Jake. I am so ready for DC to move on from Josh. It is time for them to allow Phil to rest in peace.
King, do you know if the picture of Phil is in the wheelhouse when Josh or cameras aren't on board?

What money?? I thought DC didn't pay the crew. I think it was that way in the beginning, but they started paying in more recent years. One of the owners of the Kodiak told me a few years ago that they were paid "a little bit" Jake Anderson told me last year that he got paid something but has signed a non disclosure agreement . Casey did not mention any dollar amounts, just that he missed the money.

A few years ago, there was a local (Alaska) story about this. Some in the crab fleet were upset that Discovery Channel was influencing the entire quota system. The gist was, Discovery gives the boats money for expenses, such as fuel and food, as a way of 'pitching in' since the producers were going along for a ride on the boat. This way Discovery can still claim they don't 'pay' people to be on the show. The gripe was that this money can be quite large, and boats that are on the show can use this money and afford to lease quota for more money than their peers...this makes a lot of sense, because Discovery needs the boats on the show to have a sizable quota. I also suspect that people get paid for the 'Legend of' specials, and even to be on "The Bait'.

i dug into what Casey means about Josh in public records, searched on Cornelia Maria, the only permit holder last few years, is Casey, Josh never had a permit and what i can tell, even with the goodbye from Time Bandit back then, it was Casey name on the permits so for me, Josh lost a little creditability here from me, he keeps talking pride and so on, if he was serious about it, he would gotten a permit. then i tried to see if Josh at all did obtain any permits at all, short answer no, tried Josh Harris, nope, Joshua Harris(Phil called him that on the show) nope and the a regular J Harris nope, all for Alaska permits and i have no clue if had any permits outside of Alaska

Kodiak arrived back in King Cove yesterday after tendering in Prince William Sound. Murray at the helm, getting ready to go cod fishing in the Bering Sea.

I'm hoping to find out today who is running the Kodiak this year for tendering. I stepped out my back door this morning and saw the Kodiak at the dock nearest my house. Found out the guy running the Kodiak now is new to the area, and doesn't know his way around here too well, but he does have an experienced engineer on board that does know the area. So,nobody we know is on board. Thank you again Kingcove, for your firsthand accounts. I still cant imagine what it must be like to walk out the backdoor to a view of the harbor. Sounds so wonderful.

Just guessing, but maybe they made up the fight between Keith and Monte after they learned that Bill would miss autumn season? Then they can put Monte on the SB, and make a 'brother vs brother' storyline.

I was at an industry luncheon in Seattle on Nov 19 sponsored by the company I work for. I was wandering around greeting people,and sat for a few minutes with the owners of the Kodiak. While I was there,others joined the table. After a few minutes I realized I was sitting with Scott Campbell Sr,and Scott Campbell Jr was at the next table. I was sitting near to a woman I believe was Scott Jr's wife,and she was smokin'hot!

Not a sighting, but some news on a former DC boat. I just learned that a good friend of mine has just taken the captain job on the Rollo. He has been crabbing for many years on a boat called the Zone Five and it was time for a change. Sounds like he is only tendering on the Rollo. Zone Five was once ran by Bill Wichrowski many years ago.
