Hello all our fishermen friends. Just wanted to post a thread to let folks know that the Eyak will be out buying fish this spring in lower Chatham Staits. We will start two trips per week May 1st, though we are buying now as well with the Silver Arrow while we do some spring maintenance projects. We are stopping only in Port Alexander, until May 1st, unless arrangements are made. (Willing to discuss coming across to Cape Decision for a few fish with the Silver Arrow if interest is shown.) Usually on Saturday and Wednesday we pick up fish, and we ONLY bring ice that is ordered, (until after May 1st) so call SPC if you need ice so I know…
After May 1st (weather permitting of course) we plan to run down the outside, and up the inside with stops in PA, Pt. Ellis, Washington Bay, Kingsmill, Hidden Falls, and Traders Islands. Last year we stayed more on the Southern end, but this year we are going to run the inside on a regular basis in the spring, so service will be predictable for everybody. We will be buying cash for SPC and SSS during the Spring King Fishery, and will be full of fuel/ice when the Eyak leaves town. Orders may be placed with SPC ice house for bait, ice, and other supplies. The Eyak crew will shop orders for boats that deliver to us during this Spring opener.
Orders may be sent to the M/V Eyak email address (below), or be given to Elizabeth directly when fish are sold.
Your support selling us fish during the times when there is competition helps keep the Eyak in operation. So sell us all your fish, please, and we will continue to provide you with the best early spring service possible.
We buy fish because we love it!
