Location: Ugashik fishing district
Type: Search and rescue
On June 28 at 2:54 p.m., the Alaska Wildlife Troopers received a report of an overturned or swamped fishing vessel, the Happy Hooker, in the shallows off the beach in the Ugashik fishing district, outside King Salmon, near Pilot Point, with three commercial fishermen in survival suits stuck on the listing boat. The patrol vessel Audrey Ann was in the district due to the ongoing commercial fishery and responded. Troopers were able to rescue all three, under very challenging wind and surf conditions, from the Audrey Ann's skiff. All three survivors declined medical attention.
