A Fun Job for Alvin
Sr.
This summer Alvin Owletuck Sr.
enjoyed tendering fish from fisherman to the processors. Sometimes he
and his crew member, Herman George, worked over 12 hours during the
fish openings. The boat they ran was the Kimberly Ann. Alvin likes
operating bigger boats. Both he and Herman needed helper's licenses
to fish collect, so the Marshall Fish Plant provided the money to get
the license. The manager at the plant was Lloyd Stiensky. He was also
the manager of Mas. Inc. Nick Duny was the assistant
manager.
Whenever there was an opening the two
boats, Kimberly Ann and Kathleen, loaded up with ice and totes, then
waited for fishing boats to come around. During the little runs
sometimes the two boats waited for hours until they were able to buy
fish from fishermen. But when there were big runs they were filled up
fast. Some boats even had to deliver their fish
themselves.
After the MFP bought all the fish
they could, the fisherman had to deliver their fish to Boreal Fish
Processors, located near Pitka's Point. Both the Kathleen and
Kimberly Ann, and also a smaller collecting boat called the Agnes 0.,
brought the fish down for delivery. It took them six hours. While at
Boreal they had to wait for at least an hour to unload their fish.
After unloading they were invited into the office for snacks of pop
or coffee. Then they bought gas for their return which they charged
to MFP. When the drivers were done pumping gas they loaded up the
totes then headed back upriver to Marshall. On their way up Alvin and
Herman took turns driving the boat. After traveling for five hours
they went straight home and took a rest.
Alvin says this is a good paying job
and provides the income he needs. He was even able to buy an outboard
motor he needed. "Being a fish buyer was one of the things I liked
doing best this summer,"said Alvin.
