Mr. Alexies Go Commercial Fishing

The boys did their first commercial fishing opener in August. They fished for ~ 4 hours and brought the fish upriver to Bethel to the buyer. This video shows them arriving in Bethel and unloading the fish they caught. Their crew share on this delivery was 2 dollars from the skipper - Big Nels. They got preferential treatment and lots of goodies in the wheelhouse as their auntie Berrina was overseeing the delivery payments.

Nuq and Mian Manaq'ing

Boys travel about 20 miles with a snow-machine to where the Johnson River flows into the main channel of the Kuskokwim. Trails are hard snow pack, temperature ~20dF ambient and the sun is shining.

Holes are drilled in the ice and gigging lures with blackfish parts as additional bait attract Pike to the boys lines...lots of fun is assurred! Good eating too!
