A fisherman's life may not be glamorous, but it is fulfilling and sometimes exciting.
Wow, that drone shot of the harbor shows how diverse the boats are. I don't believe I saw any two boats the same and although functionality must be common amoung many of the boats, the way they go about doing so must be a learning experience in its own.
Luv the family feel
I Love those drone shots of the marina!!
Us too! I'd like to take it out over the water on trips more, but any amount of swell makes for a hard time. We crashed it (on the deck luckily) trying take it off on a 2-3' swell.
Rinse and Repeat. Sounds like you guys do that a lot. Enjoy your videos.
God job

Love watching your videos, what do you use for a drone. Great shots.
Great story, thank you.
Thank you Wayne. Glad you enjoyed it!
Looks like a lot of boats in the harbour, are you all in competition with each other fishing the same areas for the same catch?
How big of freezer do have at home to freeze the bait fish?
I'm sure the when those lovely halibut come over the sternend of the boat outway the messy jobs of chopping bait and making up all those hooks regards Ken
Do you have a dogfish problem? Earlier this year I tried halibut fishing in the Strait of Juan de Fuca (recreational, not commercial) in 200-300ft of water. The dogfishes took every bait as soon as I drop it down. Wasted a dozen herrings in no time at all. Lost a few hooks too.
The dogfish usually move into this area in the fall. It's crazy how one day there isn't many and halibut fishing is good. A few days later it's thick with dogfish and they drive everything else out.
On your circle hooks.. do you like offset or regular straight points ?
Hi Brett. We use regular circle hooks. They have a very slight offset so they are easy to bait, but nothing like a a J-hook or EZ-Baiter hook.
what type of hooks do you use over there for halibut ?
Hi, Helge, we use 15/o Mustad circle hooks.
How big is fish tails?
Shes 35’ long with a 10’ beam.
What pound test is your mainline rope?
Hi Steve. We use 11/32" leaded manline. The tensile strength is 2100 pounds.
@@EISAlaska Leaded!Wow that must be a lot of wt on that spool!
We've had it weighed before, at the time dry it was 1250 lbs. Since then we've added line, so probably closer to 1350 lbs now.

How many hooks do you run ?
On a typical day we run around 1000 hooks, if we do additional sets, 1250-1500.
I heve five years of experience in this job and i want to do this job
Hi guys,
How much does halibut a stone fetch? Regards Ken
