Bill Dou- cett, docked in Juneau today en- route to fishing grounds to the Westward. The men will attempt to trawl bottom fish near Kodiak as traw- lers havg done on the East Coast for many years. Capt. Howard Bron- son who financed the venture and has been trawling for several vears off Cape Flattery for sole and cther bottom fish, is confident the ven- ture will be a success. “When I started in trawling off Flattery, I was the only boat fish- ing that way, but now there are 15," Bronson said. The equipment consists of large conical trawl nets that are dragged on the bottom. The Sitka has 40 tons of salt in the hold to use in putting down cod “We got an offer from the Union Fish Cempany of San Franci for all the codfish we could bring in at five cents a pound and we're going to try to pick up what we can.” The Union Fish Company recenily burned in San Francisco and the codfish market is practically devoid of fish and will be so until next sea- son's catch comes in. The Sitka fishermen will “pros- pect” grounds around Kodiak, the Devidson Banks and perhaps into Bering Sea. If they are successful, it may mean a new industry for the North Pa- cific. The Sitka is owned by I. Gold- stein. Ddn ek g e Juneauites Weather “Rain” Well Maybe straw hats will hit the style chart after all.
