A commercial purse seine vessel cannot exceed a 50 keel in Alaska. With the use of a power skiff, the seine is held in a set long enough for the salmon to swim into it. Timing is important for if a set is held too long the salmon could dive under or move out of the set. Once the skiff man brings the end of the seine back to the main boat, it is hauled in through a power block hung from the boom. The deck crew begin pursing up the purse line, stacking the corks, piling seine and lead line, as the skiff man side tows the vessel to keep if off the beach. The seine closes up like a purse and the last of it to come aboard is the bag where all the fish have been pouched. This is called The Money Bag. This 8 1/2 x 11 print was produced using a process known as Gicle'e by an Alaskan Native artist, KASHUDOHA (Wanda Culp). Prices include insurance on your purchase.
