Fishing on the
Kuskokwim
During the summer of 1997 my summer
went by too fast. Not long after school got out I went over to the
Kuskokwim River. I flew from Marshall to Akiachak by plane. At Bethel
I saw my cousins, Tobby Jackson and Shawn George at Swansons. They
came in from Akiachak in a little boat. I asked Tobby if he had room
for one more passenger. He told me that he had only one person who
rode with him from Akiachak. So he brought my baggage down to his
boat and went out shopping with his friends at the bigger and better
stores. About an hour later he told me that he was going down to the
boat to head up to Akiachak. A short forty-five minute ride and there
we were at Akiachak. The first place I stopped was my uncle's house.
He wasn't home but his kids were. They made me feel at home by
letting me have my own room with my own bed. After unpacking I went
over to Mark Kassayuli's house and asked him a few questions about
where the old hang-outs were. Then I went to the pool hall where I
saw my old buddies.
The next day Mark and I went over to
his fish camp and got his nets ready for the first commercial fishing
opening. We had to mend the nets and take out all the sticks he got
caught in the net. We also had to paint his license number on the
side of his boat and write it on all his fishing equipment. Then we
went out on the river and made a short drift. While we were pulling
in the net we hit a snag. For a while I thought that it wouldn't be
too bad, but when we hit the snag we had a really hard time taking
out the net. We were stuck on the snag for about a half-hour. After
we finally got the net out we brought it back to his fish camp where
we had to mend it all over again.
When we finally went out commercial
fishing we didn't catch much fish. We only made about $150 profit.
Altogether we made about $350. I thought that the fish buyers would
buy for a better price but they bought kings for only .40 a pound and
chums for .20 a pound. They bought reds for $1.00 per pound. I only
fished a few other times and then told Mark that I was going home to
fish with my dad. He said it was O.K. because he had someone to help
him. So the next day I came home to Marshall and fished with my
dad.
