Crab Fishing Won’t Stop Bill Cuthbert
From Going To The World’s Fair
By Karl Armstrong
‘I'm going to the Seattle
Worlds Fair!”
With those words Skipper-own
er Bill Cuthbert of the 46-foot,
deisei-powered boat Mist let it oe
known that he is one King Crab
fisherman who isn’t going to Fish
“year-round” even though it is
possible... at least he isn't this
year anyway:
"And I'm putting her up for
sale.' he said, nodding at the trim
ship Mist which has a 12' 4" beam
and can carry 1.000 king crabs in
her tanks.
“Nope, I'm not quitting the fish
ing game. Far from it! I'm ex
panding. I guess you could, say
'cause I’m on the lookout for a
bigger boat," Skipper Cuthbert
emphasized.
Bom in Barron. Wisconsin In
1907. 55-year old Bill Cuthbert
originally came to Alaska as a
gold miner. He worked for some
years for the "A-J' (Alaska-Jun
eau gold mine near Juneau and
it was during that time that ne
began fishing.
"I used to fish salmon on my
days off at the mine. S pose that’s
how I got started fishing in the
first place_that was back in
1939," he stated.
"I fished halibut for a few
years," he replied in answer to a
question, adding. “By gollies. I
see the price on halibut is up pret
ty good right now.”
And Skipper Cuthbert has also
fished shrimp in Southeastern
waters as well as trolled for salm
on there.
"There's shrimp galore here in
these waters." he nodded know
ingly out towards the sea. adding.
Could be a big thing for Kodiak."
In an even more enthusiatic
vein. Skipper Cuthbert speaks
about the future of King Crab fisn
ing here.
“While it might be that the in
shore fishing of King Crab has
about reached it's capacity, there
is. for the future, an unlimited
off-shore fishing capacity of King
Crab.*’ he said.
Although he lived in Juneau for
a number of years and has been
fishins King Crab since 1954. and
lives here the greater part of the
year. Skipper Cuthbert won’t find
housing any problem when he does
go to the World Fair as he also
owns a home in Seattle. His son,
Jim. see story) is also a skipper
owner and lives here in Kodiak.
Currently without a crew and
waiting out the soft-shell season,
Skipper Cuthbert would fish the
Mist all alone, “excepting for one
thing.”
* I would fish by myself except
for one thing- I promised my
wife that I would never fish
alone ” he concluded.
