Fishing Changes Over Past 50 Years
Related To Rotary By Howard Wakefield
Changes in Alaskan fishing in
the past half-century were vividly
described to Rotary Club members,
Tuesday, by Howard Wakefield,
manager of the Alaska Ice and
Storage and a member of the il
lustrious Wakefield fishing family
in Alaska.
Wakefield told of fishing in Alas
ka at the turn of the century be
fore vacuum packing and where
perch and herring were being
sought in Alaskan waters. He said
that the salt herring from Kodiak
area waters was the finest in the
world but that cheaper labor con
ditions elsewhere drove it off the
market. At one time about 25,000
barrels of herring were taken from
these waters, but no longer are
the waters fished for herring.
KING CRAB STUDIES
The Kodiak manager described
his early interest in the King Crab
industry while residing at Port
Wakefield and Port Bailey, at the
latter community he caught what
he described as “the largest King
Crab I have ever seen. It weighed
26 pounds and had a 76 inch
spread.” This was in 1938 and
1939.
Wakefield also described board
ing a Japanese fishing vessel in
1953 at which time they were ta«
ing from 12,000 to 18,000 King Crab
from Alaskan waters. Though the
Russians denied they were inter
ested in the crab industry, he said,
they were a little loose with the
truth.
Wakefield commented that the
Kodiak area was Alaska’s best
