Alaska's Salmon fishermen
Exploring the harsh working environments endured by Alaska's fishermen. A crew finds itself fishing out of the legal boundaries.
This documentary takes you to the harsh working environments endured by Alaska's fishermen during the wild salmon season.
Get an eye-opening insight into life on board and in the processing facilities. Examine how the purse seine net fishery and the
long line fishery operate all year round whilst battling the brutal Alaskan elements and witness the fiercely competitive annual
sock-eye salmon fishing frenzy worth 60 million dollars.
Veteran skippers Wes and Dan, along with the young but eager Gavin are feeling optimistic towards this year's salmon
season, predicted to be one of the biggest in decades. The early optimism quickly turns to frustration as one of our veteran
skippers gets caught fishing out of bounds by the Wildlife Troopers. Meanwhile, our green horn skipper Gavin is on the fish and
pulls in a huge haul to end day one on top. Day two brings some of the worst weather to hit the inlet in years. With bills to pay
and salmon to slay our skippers boldly brave the weather and high seas in hopes to bring home boats full of sockeye salmon.
Thigibh air turas s貌nraichte a' sealltainn an obair chruaidh, chunnartach a th' aig balaich Alasga gach bliadhna, tron t-s猫asan
iasgaich a' lorg bradain fiadhaich. Chithear beatha air b貌rd nam b脿taichean agus cuideachd aig na goireasan l脿imhseachaidh air t矛r. Chithear na d貌ighean iasgaich eadar-dhealaichte fad na bliadhna, a dh' aindeoin s矛de gharbh Alasga. Le 60 millean dolair air a dh猫anamh gach bliadhna, tha na h-iasgairean a' sabaid an aghaidh a ch猫ile airson grunnd iasgaich a ghabhail thairis.
Tha na sgiobairean againn Wes agus Dan cuide ri Gavin, an sgiobair as 霉ire, l脿n d貌chais gu bheil an t-seusan iasgaich seo gu
bhith soirbheachail agus nas fhe脿rr na tha e air a bhith ann am bliadhnaichean.
Ach, tha c霉isean a' dol ce脿rr gu math luath, le aon de na h-iasgairean a' cur l矛on taobh a-muigh nan cr矛ochan laghail. Tha c霉isean a' dol nas fhe脿rr dha Gavin is e a' l矛onadh a' bh脿ta le bradain. An ath l脿, chan eil cuisean cho math le droch sh矛de a' cur bacadh air na b脿taichean ach le cunntasan ri ph脿igheadh tha gach sgioba a' feuchainn ri na l矛n aca a l矛onadh a dh' aindeoin na h-aimsire.
