May Move Homes To Kodiak
In port this past week for minor repairs and provisioning was the
78-foot D/V Mitkof which, along with three other boats has been
prospecting this summer for Dungeness crab in commercial quan
tities in the Kodiak area. Pictured (left to right) are the Mitkof
skipper, Doug Putansu and his crew, Ken Putansu and Jerry Mc
Donald.
Dungeness Crab Prospectors See
Fall Season Possibilities Here
Dungeness commercial crab fish
ing prospectors in the Kodiak area
remain optimistic in *heir outlook
for establishing a new fishery here
according to Doug Putansu, skip
per of the 78-foot diesel vesssel
Mitkof out of Tokeland, Washing
ton.
“We haven’t run into anything
spectacular so far but we do think
that in the next few weeks we will
find that this area has a late sum
mer and fall fishery for DungeneoS
crab,” Putansu advised.
Besides Putansu’s Mitkof, the
Dungeness fleet consists of threp
other fishing boats and one large
reefer processing mothership. The
fleet came to Kodiak in April and
has prospected all of Kodiak Island
and much of the mainland. The
other three fishing boats are the
65-foot Tyonek, the 50-foot Adven
turess, and the 40-foot Bonne. The
processing boat is the 180-foot
Neleo I.
Although primarily interested in
and equipped for Dungeness, the
Mitkof and her companion boats
have expanded into King Crab.
“We are allowed under the regu
lations to fish 300 dungeness pots,”
Putansu said, “and these are very
small and light compared to the
King Crab pots now used.”
“Our Dungeness pots weigh
about 85 pounds and we use stain
less mesh. They are miniature
round King Crab pots really. It
takes about an average of six hours
to pick the Dungeness pots,” he
said.
Skipper Putansu, 27, has fished
for seven years and this is his first
year in Kodiak waters . . . but from
the way he talks, it certainly won’t
be his last!
LIKES KODIAK
“I’ve traveled about half the
world and I’ve never found any
place I like as much as Kodiak,”
Putansu said enthusiastically, add
ing, “I’m trying to find some good
excuse to move up here. I am

No Finer Food!
The chef at our favorite meeting place, the Elks Club, will
display his magic for you this Friday, August 31, 1962. For Ko
diak’s finest, Elks and Guest members are joining together in
a special salute to Prime Steaks.
You’ll discover the tender, delicious difference which can
be traced to what we call -‘the magic ingredient”—the incom
parable climate.
These steaks are from an exclusive beef of steers watered
on pure glacier-fed streams, nutured to maturity on the rich
grasses of lush mountain meadows; then fattened for market |
by the most scientific methods known today.
The result is waiting for you now at your Elks Lodge, here
in Kodiak, in the form of magically tender Steaks, prepared to f
your liking.
So join in the feast of luscious Steaks. Then relax at the
meeting.
Remember—“The Face on the Bar Room Floor?” When
you leave the Lodge you will remember the “Steak on the Char
coal Broiler.”
The feed time is 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Lodge meeting 8:30 p.m.
Happy Hour 4 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. So my Brothers, call up and
turn your name in.

that she will like it as much as 1
do.” The Putansu’s have three
children, one of whom is in school.
“I’m not only impressed by Ko
dik itself but very pleased with the
people here,” Petansu said. “I was
amazed at the fast repair services
available here.”
Ilis brother, Ken, who with Jerry
McDonald comprise the crew of the
Mitkof, shares his enthusiasm for
Kodiak, and it is not unlikely that

October when they will depart for
