Down in the boat harbor on
Tuesday evening Gus Govino was
busy tuning up the engine on his
rig. Gus has been out patrolling
most every day and though he
doesn’t say what he has been doing
(and what fisherman ever does!)
signs aboard indicate his seine has
been in the water recently.

past week.

While down on the Alaska Pack
ers dock we noted a sizable catch
of King Crab being offloaded by
the good ship Sue by her skipper
owner Milton Pagano and his part
ner, Alien Chernoff. Inside the
APA cannery everyone was busy
processing the crab and we under
stand they have received enough
crab in the past several days to
kep them busy for the next week.

Max Therkelsen’s boat Billikln
left last week for Larsen Bay with
Duffy Jackinsky at the helm. Fish
ing with Skipper Jackinsky this
summer is Ron Stanek of Spokane,
Washington, who has been a house
guest o-f Mr. and Mrs. Stan Auster
man the past several weeks, visit
ing with their son Stan (“Sir
John”), who attended Washington
State College with Stanek the past
two years.

Into port last week with radar
troubles was Skipper Dick Sutter
lin’s 74-foot Pacific Pearl which
has been shrimping in near-by wa
ters. Kodiakans might remember
Paul Johnson who was here ear
lier this spring and is now a crew
man aboard the Pacific Pearl along
with Ed Warness and A1 Ciacolino.
Paul said they planned to head to
ward Two-Headed Island area.

The big Richard D came into the
boat harbor the 29th and will be
going back out shortly according
to Skipper Barney Corgatelli.
“We’re in for some minor repairs
. . . fishing has been fair,” he ad
vised. New crew member aboard
is husky young Travis Murphy.

Most recent addition to the
sports-fishing pleasure fleet in the
small boat harbor is the trim little
Dorothy P. Another distinction she
holds is that she is Kodiak-built.
Skipper D. B. Ard, who in partner
ship with Jerry Redick is opening
a new garage at Thorsheim and
Benson Avenue corner, took an
old metal navy lifeboat and com
pletely rebuilt it into the sporty
Dorothy P. Skipper Ard and his
two sons, Larry 16, and Donald 15,
did all the work themselves includ
ing installation of a 4-cylinder
Graymarine 40 hp engine ... all

First landing of halibut to be
held under bond by the local cold
storage for the Prince Rupert Co
operative was made this past week
by the 79-foot Pacific Wave out of
Vancouver, B.C. Skipper Milton
Bush advised that he delivered
105,000 pounds . . . described this
as “fairly good fishing.” While out
on the grounds he said they saw a
few Japanese whalers ... a large
factory ship and several smaller,
but still good-sized harpoon boats.”

In for one day again this year
was the 78-foot St. Michael skip
pered by M. J. Evich who said “Ko
diak’s waterfront looks busier than
ever.” The St. Michael is under a
research charter for the Interna
tional Halibut Commission and has
three marine biologists aboard this
trip. She departed July 5th and
will be covering the area from Ko
diak Island east to Cape Spencer
with her 250-fathom drags. Al
though they keep a record of all
bottom fish taken, only the halibut
are tagged.
Alongside the St. Michael was
the 66-foot halibut boat Pacific
Belle skippered by W. J. Pitre. She
is another Canadian boat out of
Vancouver, B. C., which made a
delivery during the early part of
last week.
.t.
Another research vessel, the 85
foot Ocean Pride, skippered by
amiable Carl Haugland, was
also in over the 4th of July. Under
charter by the University of Wash
ington for salmon research with
her 385-foot seine, she is one of
eight boats engaged in salmon re
search this year—there are four
Canadian boats using long lines
and four American vessels using
seines. Skipper Haugland reported
he was able to closely observe one
of three Russian trawlers fishing in
the gulf. They were “about 280
foot to 300-foot long and taking
aboard ocean perch,” which he de
scribed as being a red colored fish.

Boys down at the cold storage
have been busy glazing fish during
most of this week and preparing
about a quarter of a million pounds
of halibut for shipment out on
Alaska Steamship’s Coastal Mon
arch. They have nearly 700,000
pounds of halibut in the cold rooms
now, according to office Manager
Everett C. LeVan.

Standard Oil was busy early this
week with numerous halibut ves
sels moored down there, according
to George Magnuson who is in
charge during the absence of Mer
rill Coon who is vacationing in the
states with his wife Louise and
son Corky. Refueling were: the big
boat Brisk, skippered by her own
er, Nils Farsted; Skipper-owner
Gordon Gerde’s Atlantic; the Re
covery, skippered by her owner,
E. Hansen; and the Canadian hali
but boat Laredo out of Vancouver,
B.C.( whose skipper and owner is
Anton Brosic). Also tied up down
there on Monday was the Univer
sity of Washington Research Ves
sel Storm.

Also on Wednesday, stopped a
moment to talk with Dave
Hughes, crewman (along with Cle
tus Leverett) abord the APA 9
which Burnie Lindsey is skipper
ing. Dave, busy splicing lines at
the moment, advised that they
planned to pull out that Wednes
day afternoon in pursuit of sal
mon.

Up on the APA grid on Wednes
day afternoon was the APA 10 re
ceiving minor bottom repairs. She
