So It Says
...Here...
The bear-cattle troubles on
Kodiak Island have been partial
ly solved by the introduction of
hunting of bears by aircraft, ac
cording to the Sept. 6 edition of
the Anchorage Democrat.
The article says that formerly
dogs and traps were used to
•atch the bears but this method
proved to be ineffective, as the
bears taken were not always
those which had been causing
the trouble.
Now, the State Division of
Game has Ok’d using planes and
it is possible to hunt down and
kill only the bears which have
been killing the cattle and the
ranchers are pleased with the
results, the publication said.

Bittersweet Kept
Active On Seas
The U.S. Coast Guard Cutter
“Bittersweet” was called into ac
tion twice recently to aid fishing
vessels.
The “Western Clipper” which
lost a rudder in Kuprianof Straits
and was towed into Kodiak by the
Coast Guard cutter has since been
towed to Juneau for repairs by the
power barge “Shuyak.”
On Aug. 26, the Wakefield proc
essing vessel “Deep Sea” had a
main engine failure off Foggy
Cape, Sutwick Island with the
“Bittersweet” again coming to the
rescue and towing the disabled ves
sel to Port Wakefield. The engine
was repaired and the vessel got un
der way again for the Westward
on Tuesday, Sept. 4.

Sig Digree sends us up a news
paper clipping with a story suffi
ciently fishy for this column: Ac
cording to the article a fellow
named Peter Baronas claims that
while he was swimming on
crowded Locarno Beach a 7%
pound salmon attacked him . . .
“the little devil actually charged
me, like a torpedo,” he insists.
This happened in water about four
feet deep. And what’s more, ne
says he dived on it twice but was
unable to hold it but finally caught
it by scooping the fish into the
air and clutching it to his chest.
“It slithered around a little and
tried to bite me, but I managed to
wrestle the thing to the beach.”
Being somewhat curious we asked
ADF&G biologist Robert S. Roys
about this . . . and ... by gollies
it just could happen all right! “I’ve
head about a girl in Southeastern
Alaska who happened to step into
a spawning area of a streambed
and was bitten by a coho,” Roys
advised, adding further that, “sal
mon that have already spawned
out are very weak generally and
their sight might be impaired by
fungus growth and they might bolt
and run into a person in the wa
ter.”

The 73-foot shrimper Fortress,
now moored in the boat harbor,
shows scars of tangling with a
Shelikov Straits storm. Skipper
Ted Moseley ran into a doozey
about 2 hours north of Mermot
Island enroute to Seward about 2
a.m. last Saturday. Heavy seas
smashed in her windows and
drenched every piece of her elec
tronic gear. After delivering to
Seward, Mosley had to return to
Kodiak to get repairs. Deveau Elec
tronics is handling repairs to her
water damaged electronic gear.
Crewman Jack Johnson was among
the casualties, suffering from fly
ing glass splinters.

expirs next June. Should they ter
minate the present arrangement it
would undoubtedly mean they in
tend to fish salmon with their
mile long nets in the Gulf of
Alaska and offshore from Kodiak
Island. We have seen what such
a high seas fishery has done to
the once abundant Bristol Bay sal
mon fishery. Testimony made by
state department officials indi
cates that our diplomats believe
good relations with Japan are more
important than salmon. “We do
not own the Pacific Ocean,” one
testified. All segments of our fish
ing should cooperate to see to it
that our point of view is adequate
ly presented. Otherwise we might
as well resign ourselves to signing
up to fish on foreign fishing ves
sels just to be able to fish close to
home.
