Re: Deckhand available
First fish hit the deck a week or so ago. Waiting for this system to move through and we're heading to the outside for the last couple weeks of winter kings before some grid time. Feels good to be fishing again. Might post some pictures at some point.

Re: Northern Tuna
Yellowfin are different then Albacore, but fresh caught albacore is definitely one of my favorites. And tuna trolling is just plain fun fishing. I think as ocean conditions and temperatures change you northern guys will probably see more of them, along with humboldt squid. Both being big open access...

Re: The lessons I learned
When I crabbed out of Charleston I found most of the guys to be real nice and helpful. I'll assume you bought the F/V Lassie that was in the Giddings shipyard? I have an old picture of it from a couple years ago when it was on the hard. Great to hear it's fishing again. (If it is your boat)

Re: Deckhand available
Yea that's true. Have you fished for pollock before ? What was it like? Nice size boat and did you stay out long ? Just wondering, glad your back home enjoying the rest of the summer ! No I hadn't. It was on a 340' dragger in the Bering Sea fishing off St George Island. We had decent weather and qu...

Re: Deckhand available
For sure. I can't say I was too keen on participating in the great pollock machine, but sometimes a job's a job.

Re: Deckhand available
Thank you for the private messages and encouragement! Someone even generously offered me a ride from BHam to Sitka on their boat to look for work. I ended up going back on deck on the Arctic Star and then working on the F/T Ocean Rover for some B-Season pollock. Home now enjoying the rest of summer....

Re: Another option
I've seen a handful of sailboats successfully converted into salmon/tuna trollers. Work hard and make do with what you can. The biggest thing is spending the time on the water. I say go for it!

Re: Oh hell
Yep. Bring on the sensationalized headlines.
I liked the one article that said there's more radiation found in a banana though.

Sounds like things might be working out for both of us. Great to hear Tom. I wish you the best and look forward to a drink with you at the end of the season.

Re: Questions about Alaska?
This thread is interesting to me. I've dungy crabbed and done a little tuna trolling out of Oregon. I wanted to come up north so I'm currently pitching snow crab on the P/V Arctic Star for Icicle out of Dutch Harbor. I get the most contact with outside boats of anyone on board, and it's still limite...
