Seiners turn in early after weak pink harvest in Southeast

The pink salmon season in Southeast is supposed to be peaking right now.
Instead, the run is actually slowing, harvests have been poor, and many fishermen are wrapping up the season early.
“We’re done,” said Jesse Agner, a crewmember on the boat. Out of the 12 years he’s been seining he said this is one of the worst he’s ever seen.
“We put the skiff away yesterday and we’re going to get rid of everything else in short order,” Agner said.
