Fisherman Q&A
Q: Where do you fish?
A: I fish in Southeast Alaska
Q: Which products do you sell to Sea to Shore Seafood?
A: I sell Alaskan Salmon to Sea to Shore Seafood.
Q: How did you get started in fishing? How long have you been commercially fishing? Any family history in commercial fishing?
A: I am a 4th generation fisherman in the Conn family, in Petersburg Alaska. I have been commercial fishing for 31 years.
Q: What sustainable fishing practices/gear types do you use? What is your crew size for these fisheries?
A: My crew has always been my family. We started this business intending to be closer as a family and work alongside our children. To date, I have had my two sons, one daughter, and niece as my crew as well as my wife. I usually have one to two people on the boat beside myself in the summer. I own a Southeast Drift Salmon and Southeast Dungeness Permit; these fisheries take place in the summer seasons which has made it easier for my family to join me as crew.
