Fishing Tales - Alaskan Life Portraits (CD)
Title: Fishing Tales: Seven Alaskans Tell Stories of the Sea Author: Alaskan Life Portraits Genre: Short Stories / Nature / Travel Format: 1 CD, 1.2 Hrs (Unabridged) Synopsis: Fishing Tales features seven Alaskans who reveal what fishing in Alaska waters is really like. Fishing in Alaska is a life altering experience-a way of life. There are so many dangers, so many things that can go wrong, that one wonders why anyone would set foot off shore. Imagine being on a boat in constant motion, working with sharp knives and hooks sturdy enough to bring up a 300 pound fish! You eat, sleep, go to the bathroom, live for extended periods of time on a tiny floating island. Your whole world and everything you need to survive is on the boat. If something breaks, you have to fix it with what you have on board or radio someone and wait for assistance to arrive. If someone gets sick or injured you have to deal with it until help arrives which could take several hours or even days depending on the weather. If a storm hits you have to endure whatever it brings your way until it's over. When the fish are running, you work day and night until you get your limit. The act of fishing has always been the same since man first discovered he catch and eat fish but, the methods of catching fish have changed-dramaticly. Centuries ago native Alaskans depended on fishing for their survival. Over the centuries they have orally passed down their accumulated knowledge and wisdom. Not only how to catch and process the fish but, to ensure that the fish stock stays healthy so they would return year after year. Review: No Review Available.
