I have said it before but it’s nice to watch a fishing show without any yelling and drama. You do it right by explaining what is going on and showing how you work. What a great family working together to get the job done !

As an old fisherman I don't mind hard work, I can sit and watch you work just fine...Good job guyz

I can't believe your Dad looks so young! Most. Commercial fishermen dry their skin out in saltwater but sometimes it is hard to tell you all apart. Low stress factors from working together is probably one of the causes. Something you are all very good at! I continue to enjoy your cooperation as you work together!

It's wonderful to see two guys doing a job without all the contrived bullshit from Discovery Channel et al. Keep up the great work. You are showing how it's really done.

Hi guys I was a meat manger at Fred Meyer in coos bay Oregon and we used to use turkey drums in are little crab pots fishing off the dock the seals wouldn’t touch it and they would just destroy any fish or chicken we used and the crabs loved the stuff.I sold more turkey drums their than any other that I worked in lol

I've heard chicken works good for bait. Interesting they don't tear up the turkey. I know the commercial dungy fleet also uses mink carcasses, really greasy and fishes good. I imagine it gets pretty nasty after awhile tho.

From my folks villa in Spain I used to watch the little boats go out at night only a mile Or so of shore fishing for squid im not sure but I think they used lights to attract them To the surface

@EISAlaska

They do the same off California. They will use small vessels with big racks of lights to attract the squid, and then a big seiner comes along and scops them up. I think a bay full of small boats is much more romantic than the industrialized fishing we see now. Those small boat fisheries provided for many, instead of just a few.

Hi Connie. On our boat we really try to be safe about weather. Knowing your boat's limits and common sense plays a big part. So we don't get scared per say - maybe nervous at times. Glad you are enjoying the videos! We soaked these ones overnight, and then after the morning haul probably 6-8 hours before the afternoon check.

I haven't had halibut for years always had fish on good Friday when We. Used to be a little more religious but halibut is more expensive than steak in UK I LIKE halibut steamed my fav fish along with swordfish and in UK Obviously fish and chips cod in beer 🍺 batter lovely I'm not a big fan of posh nosh When your food arrives it's more like modern art than a meal My folks ran a bad and resteraunt for 35 yrs till last yr in southern Spain just down from malaga And they did quite a lot of fish dinners people just want good grub at right price

Haha. Posh nosh. I had to look that up to make sure I knew what you meant. I would agree with you, much rather have a nice hearty, simple meal. Food art may be satisfying to look at but I bet a lot of people go away hungry. Surprisingly we don't eat halibut that often. We really like cod and love rockfish and also salmon. Your folks must have great food and be wonderful hosts to stay in business for that long. That's a tough business, and a lot of hard work. I hope they enjoy their retirement!

Thanks for the awesome videos, I’m really enjoying them and learning a lot. I notice that you don’t wear PFDs... or perhaps they are under your rain gear? Too bulky and could catch on the gear? I’m not advocating for or against - just curious. Cheers, Steve from Vancouver Island

@@EISAlaska Thanks guys, my Dad had an old wood former professional boat similar size to Fish Tale that he used for recreational fishing. She had a wheelhouse way back at the stern and a catch well open to the sea via vents in the bottom amidships. She only had a slow old air cooled three cylinder Lister/Petter diesel so he used to nurse her along at about three to five knots everywhere. She had a round bottom like a skinny walnut and an auxiliary mast so she rolled something terrible even in mild seas and still did even after he removed the mast. Really enjoying your videos thanks!
