Weekends Back and Forth by Emil Kiunya:Weekends Back and Forth "This summer when the days got longer, at the end of May and early June, after the ice broke up at Kipnuk, I took a break from my job in Bethel and went to Kipnuk to get ready for commercial herring fishing. It usually takes me one to two days to get everything ready for the fish opening in the Kuskokwim Bay. While I wait for the opening, I take my time and enjoy the warm, long days, and go out with friends and reminesce about my younger days. Either that, or I go hunting bird eggs. After herring fishing was over, I cleaned the boat before I went back to Bethel to work at Yute Air. After a week or two, I headed back to Kipnuk on a weekend to try my luck fishing for halibut. I usually go back and forth from work in Bethel to Kipnuk to enjoy the short weekends fishing and hunting there. Depending on the weather, we have to travel 10-15 miles out on the bay to look for a hot spot. This summer I caught a total of three halibut." By: Emil Kiunya | |
