From the Alaska State Troopers:
Location: Sitka
Type: Multiple offenses
On 2/13/16 at 1347 hours, Alaska Wildlife Troopers and Sitka police responded on the P/V Courage to reports of a fishing vessel attempting to ram other boats near Cape Edgecumbe during the Sitka Sound winter salmon troll fishery. Investigation revealed Timothy D. Demmert, 33, of Klawock, was operating the 47-foot power troller F/V Emmanuel and had intentionally run over gear of other fishermen causing loss of the gear and loss of fishing time. Demmert refused a boarding at sea by troopers and was eventually boarded in Sitka harbor at 1824 hours where he was found to be under the influence of alcohol and in possession of a loaded shotgun. Demmert was arrested and remanded to Sitka jail on charges including DUI watercraft, misconduct involving a weapon, refuse boarding, interfere with commercial gear, criminal mischief and reckless endangerment. Bail was set at $10,000 cash performance bond. The investigation is continuing and more charges are likely to be forwarded to the district attorney's office.

I guess alcohol and stupidity don't mix
Fines or jail time? Hell no, give him a Bay permit, he'll fit right in for some line banging!
Stupid trawlers. Oops I mean stupid trollers
2:20 your funny? I think I am coming to the BAY. Sounds like fun. Cowboy up boys?
Why all the jealousy toward bristol bay? I guess its that we make a living in 5 weeks and spend all winter on the ski slopes instead of rolling around on the bering sea-just saying'.
Ha Ha, Making a living in 5 weeks? Your permit has lost $50K in value in the last 6 months, how does that figure in your accounting?
The only thing BB boys are doing on the ski slopes is checking lift tickets!
Plead insanity
I'm not selling a permit so I'm not worried about their value. A 200k gross stock puts 100k in my wallet. Thats the math on 2015. The skiing today was great (again). Life would be good here in colorado even if we didn't win Super Bowl 50.
Wow I didn't realize you were the master of the bay, $200k is 400,000lbs at 50cents a pound. I wouldn't think the god of bristol bay salmon fishing would need to spend his time bragging on a message board.
so you caught 400000 lbs? anyway how did a discussion of a drunk troller degenerate into a BB discussion and who cares how much you made
What ever happened to smoking a little rope?
With this new 12.5 percent tax you will be down to 75k. Pretty soon you will have to pay an income tax and whatever other taxes they are going to come up with. You will have to catch 600000 pounds to make it worth doing. Oh but we are going to save a little bit in fuel.
