Em Urbaniak, Derby Hostess

Floatplanes arrive and depart with guests on them just about everyday. We call it a “turnover” day, and dockhands stand ready to help with the luggage and fish boxes. Once the arriving guests are all checked-in, it’s time to go fishing!!

Upon returning to the dock at the end of each fishing day, the guests’ totes are unloaded. Everyone checks out each other’s totes (a very friendly competition) and then the totes are dragged to the scale to be weighed and strung for pictures. After the totes are examined, they are taken to the cutting house. Monster-size catch, like Halibut, usually are cut outside on the dock. Guests remain dockside to watch the cutters and to take those up-close “action” shots! Then it’s time for the guests to be off to the Dining Room for dinner and King of the Day Awards! Not to mention the “action” in the Lagoon Saloon afterward!
