Location: Whale Bay, Sitka
Type: Commercial fish closed season

Troopers observed signs of fishing on deck. Investigation revealed that owner and permit holder Jeffrey D. Angelo, 49, of Samoa, Calif., and crewman Alec J. Hurst, 29, of Fort Bragg, Calif., had knowingly engaged in commercial trolling on 6/29/14, more than 24 hours prior to the July 1 season opening, and retained 12 king salmon.
