While things are still being negotiated in the lower 48, Alaska is already making their plans for the summer. This quote came off one of the troller sites. I haven't seen the official announcement from ADFG.

"Abundance index for 2016 of 2.06 for a summer troll quota of some 260,000. 2015 AI was 1.45, it was 2.47 back in 2014.

Last year's announcement didn't come until June 26."


Most of these fish are headed south, especially on the outside waters. They'll catch this quota in <10 days in early July.

I'm surprised with all the turmoil here that they chose this year to make an early announcement.
