Cod Season Begins

Cod season started September 1st and after the normal price negotiations our boats are out on the grounds and making cod deliveries. The photo is of one of our boats, F/V Arctic Mariner, after it had loaded up it's pots prior to leaving. All of the boats that fish cod for us fish crab as well, and the gear is very similar. This is exactly what the Arctic Mariner will look like when it heads out for crabbing in October. We are a little short handed at work with cod processing in addition to pollock.
