- catalog abstract "Collects a dozen true stories, originally published between 1980 and 1992 (some in slightly different versions) in "National Fisherman", the "Alaska Fisherman's Journal, Audobon", and "Oceans". The stories are arranged in chronological order as the author wrote them and cover the major fisheries on the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska. From the super-heated decade when fishing fleets turned king crab into fortunes, to the annual circus of Bristol Bay's monster salmon runs, to the bucolic life of the open, ocean trawler, the true stories in Fishing Up North carry the flavor of the modern fisherman's life and fortunes in the waters off Alaska. In Fishing Up North, you'll Find firsthand accounts of frightening weather, good fishing, terrible fishing, great days, and sweet living from the decks of crabbers, trawlers, longliners, trollers, and gill netters. Commercial fishing's home ports, Dutch Harbor, Kodiak, Naknek, Cordova, Petersburg, Sitka, and Seattle, are classic fishing towns, where docks, bars, and even quiet living merge in colorful portraits about life on the last frontier.".
