I also wanted to say that the Bazooka system is a great idea! The scene of Sully being pulled overboard after getting a hook through his hand on the movie "The Perfect Storm" horrified many people and solidified a real need for built in safety measures during the process of deploying longlines. I like the other myriad "custom" systems that you guys have instituted in your operation and on your boat as well. Great videos and information, keep it up Guys!

Big hello from down under Adelaide Australia. Enjoying the content especially the fishing 😊

Man I love wathcing y'all work! My OCD goes into meltdown when I see working decks cluttered with gear that should be stowed. I've seen boats that look like a burned down gypsy camp, with gear stacked randomly (and worse - dangerously!) all up and down the deck. Been told I'm a Martinet a few times but I've never had a bad incident aboard due to gear being out on deck. Seen too many lads hauled over the side, or up a boom arm, or into a drum because they weren't keeping the gear cleared. There's danger enough at sea without adding to it. I once spoke to some old sailors from the Russian North Sea fishing fleet. They used to say "I have 2 wives. One is a ruthless, cold-hearted bitch that will kill me some day, but she owns my soul. The other lives in Murmansk."

The wisdom is passed down from a thousand generations. The ways of the sea and the fish they seek are but a small part of their job. Each time they go out their families worry if they will return.

The season is open about nine months of the year, from mid-March to early November. The minimum length requirement (32"), insures halibut reach maturity and can spawn before they attain market size. This keeps the fishery healthy and sustainable.

Just curious. Do you check for loose scales on the tip of the hook when baiting? Those pesky scales have cost me several hookups!

@EISAlaska

Hi Daniel. We do get snagged up, some time on the bottom other times on lost crab pots or other lost gear. Most of the time the line will come free, occasionally you get it wedged really bad. You can try to motor around on it and get it pulled out, and if that fails just pull until it breaks off. Then head to the other end of the string and start pulling. As long as you don't hang up and break off again it will pull free and you will get it all back.

Hi roskildefestival. They are called longline snaps. You can get them from most marine fishing supply stores. Here is a link for an example www.miamifishingsupply.com/5mo120losnwi1.html A few things to note: Get stainless ones as they will last forever and won't turn into a pile of rust. Swivels are nice and will help prevent the gangion from twisting up and make them last longer. The snaps come in different sizes, so get the one that is the same size as your line diameter. Shop around. The prices vary a lot from store to store, so take a little time to shop for a good price. Best of luck and good fishing.

Enjoy your fishing trip.. The bottom line still remains the same. If the only way halibut can be legally caught and sold is by longlining, the millions of pounds of halibut that are caught as by product from ledaly harvested other fish species will still be killed and dumped back into the oceans as food for other fish and the birds.. So nothing will change and halibut will still cost $30 plus /lb. I agree with you that he fishing regulations are extremely complex. But it seems pretty obvious that someone is making a lot of money at the expense of this fish and it's not the fisherman.

io0 They forgot to tell you Halibut costs $30+/lb because the only people allowed to sell halibut commercially are long liners and there are only 17 of them. The commercial fishing boats have to throw are of their halibut back in the ocean. Unfortunately they all die in the hull of the ships and thousands of tons of halibut die every year so this handful of fisherman can be protected. Government mentality at its finest.

I guess the National Geographic documentary on Halibut fishing that I watched was a lie. Maybe you can tell me why commercial fishing trawlers aren't allowed to harvest halibut and have to throw all they catch back Seems like a terrible waste of a diminishing resource, especially when the process of hauling them into the ship kills 95% of them.

@EISAlaska

3 жыл бұрын

I can't comment on the Nat. Geographic documentary as I have not seen it. However the commercial halibut fishery in Alaska spans nearly a century and a half, with the fist landing occurring in the 1880. The fishery has always be prosecuted with longline gear, never trawl. Trawlers have a bycatch allocation attached to their fisheries, but sadly, it has remained static and does not fluctuate with the TAC as it should. They have lobbied and gamed the system for decades and are responsible for massive amounts of waste across many fisheries such as cod, sablefish, crab and halibut. To award them fishing rights to halibut would undermine and destroy a fishery that has exited for far longer than trawl gear. Bear in mind many of the current halibut fishermen purchased the right s to harvest their quota, us included. If you allow the trawl sector harvest rights to halibut based on bycatch of a target species, they will just find another fishery to develop such as arrow tooth. Arrow tooth was never retained until a decade or so ago. A completely worthless fish commercially as it decomposes rapidly, but the 20% cod and skate bycatch that went with made it very profitable and turned it into a developed fishery.

So it is your opinion that the trawlers should kill the millions of pounds of halibut they catch as a by product and lot be allowed to sell it for a profit so the long liners can maintain their monopoly on this species of fish. I know self preservation is the human way but this practice is a disgusting display of waste and greed.

@EISAlaska

3 жыл бұрын

It is my opinion trawlers should not be fishing at all until the can get their bycatch problems solved. They are also responsible for extremely high levels of crab and king salmon bycatch. Is it your opinion they should also be allowed to retain and sell those species? I think you should try doing some research into the commercial halibut fishery, the trawl fisheries and management of Alaska's fisheries. You will discover that it is extremely complex, with management at the state, federal and international level (IPHC). Trawlers in Alaska have a history of excessive bycatch, dirty fishing, gaming the system by underreporting bycatch, intimating and harassing observers and generally not caring about the resources they rely on or making an honest effort to reduce bycatch levels and their impact on the environment. There is no "monopoly" on the halibut resource. Anyone that has fished commercially can apply for a TEC and buy into the halibut fishery, even trawlers. In fact many trawl vessel owners own halibut IFQ and harvest it on their vessels, only it must be done with longline or pot gear. That being said, I will leave you to your opinion. You can chose to educate yourself about our fisheries or not. As for me....It's time to go fishing!

@@EISAlaska When you or anyone else can tell the fish to swim away when they see the net coming so only one species gets caught you will solve the problem. Until then, let the trawlers sell what they catch or stop trawling altogether. With either solution there will be no commercial fishing industry. Then the long liners will be able to charge $1000 a pound for halibut since it will be the only fish available. Like I said, there is no solution for human greed.
