Hi guys it's been a long time since I started watching your channel I am an old fisherman from middle ast and i wanted to tell you truly i have learned alot form your experience you guys are wonderful people easy working and i love your team work At the last please excuse my English coz am Arabic i dont speak and write good English My regards
New to your channel.love the way your videos are put together and I think it is awesome that you follow up on the comments with your replies.dont change a thing.
I started going offshore in the late 90's or so - we were on a 28' Mako, just 3 up to 6 friends on the boat. We did that for years, the last trip was just my friend and myself, 2 people, 30 miles offshore, and I caught on Go-Pro a 60 pound White Marlin (released). We were all out there by ourselves, and I thought after that - no more of this. I'd like to see the catching in real time with the sounds but not that fast stuff with the music. Honestly, the sounds in real time is killer. I went to Whole Foods yesterday and they had HALIBUT same price as you guys - but I'm certain it would not be the quality you offer.
Thanks maddie! We appreciate the comments and insight. We try to get as much real sound and dialog as possible, but sometimes we have to mask other noise with music. The wind is probably our biggest foe when it comes to recording, also copyrighted music in the background will force us to insert music. We try to do our best to produce a balanced presentation.
Great video! Would like to see how it works when the fish get off loaded and processed. Then interested in the business end; how much per pound and how that translates to the end consumer cost. Thanks!
I watched a couple of your long line halibut videos, what size are those hooks 20/0 ? I love the idea you had forthe protective equipment when you are snapping the baited droppers on. What i the biggest halibut you guys ever caught?
Hey Kenny. The hooks are 15/0, and the setting tube we call a shogun. It is really nice to have and takes the worry out of setting gear and someone getting hooked. Biggest halibut on our vessel is about 200 pounds round weight. Thanks for the info on your Dad's operation. I was thinking it might be trotlines. I find it fascinating the fishing methods and how tough guys were back then, when it comes to fishing and hauling gear. We are spoiled nowadays.
@@EISAlaska Amazing to watch you guys work like a well oiled machine. My dad wanted to move to Alaska when they were building the pipeline. I always wished he would have. We have done 2 cruises up there. The next time we are going to fly up and rent a car and fish and enjoy it at ur pace. What do you do in the winter?
@@cutbaitkenny That's cool you have been up here before. It will be great to get a rig and drive around. There are so many awesome places to see and fish. We fish pretty much year round. It's always a little slow with holidays and all in December, but Jan 1 we will be out chasing rockfish and cod.
Wow, great question Allan. Jig permit is good for rockfish and cod and is $75. Salmon is limited entry and permits are running $32,000- $38,000 and renewal fee is $75. Tanner crab is also limited entry and permits cost 22k- 28k and yearly renewal is $75. Halibut permit is $75, but its privatized so you have to buy the rights to fish. That quota sells between $33 and 40 a pound, based on vessel size and a few other factors. Also there are many variants on permits and cost based on area fished, species, vessel size, gear type whether it is open access or limited entry. Hard to say on cost of boat. We have owned her for 20 years now. I suppose the value is around 100k. Fishing times for rockfish, late fall through spring. Salmon June to September. Halibut in the fall after we finish salmon. I could probably write a few pages on this subject, but I hope that gives you a general overview. Thanks for commenting.
Thanks jpicknell. It is amazing clean fishing. We get cod occasionally, but we get 20% bycatch retention for them. As for rockfish, we are required to retain 100%., so we spend a fair amount of time looking for good grade.
@@EISAlaska thats really cool.........ive been a guide for 20yrs here in so cal ,ive fished for 60yrs ,i restored my crestliner fully and am waiting to fish. youre vids show the real fishing that happens all yr round by americans, i really love youre vids and will send you more subs........thank you.......
Appreciate that, and thanks for tuning in! Boat projects are kind of exhausting by the end, but that payoff you get is amazing. We've gone through nearly all of her, bow to stern, just the inside cabin is left, (fish don't care about our accommodations, LOL.) and a couple holds left to insulate.
Hey I could watch your videos all day I love you alls jig fishing great setup you got going on .do you know if someone could order fish the kind you catch order from KENTUCKY eastern would you know
Hi Matt, you catch different kinds of fish. Among them, which one tastes best? I'm guessing it's the halibut. Whenever I watch your videos, I really like to eat crabs or fish but they are expensive here in Korea. I like to taste your crabs in Alaska. Do you export crabs or halibut here in Korea?
Hi Connie, I'd have to say my favorite is yelloweye, it has an excellent flavor and texture. We have halibut sometimes, but its more challenging to cook. We Love crab also. Unfortunately we're unable to ship our seafood internationally.
Hi 31 Dreem! These are sold as bandit or snapper reels. They cost about $1500, but if you look at the ones they sell, it would be fairly easy and inexpensive to build some yourself.
I think town price is around $.50/ lb., but we direct market all our rockfish. Thanks for the feedback on the video and our setup. We are always making improvements to improve quality and efficiency. Thanks for watching!
I’m from Brisbane Australia. Would love to know some specs on your boat and motor. I love your episodes. I am very envious of your lifestyle and where you live.
Hi Russel. The hull is a Roberts 35' length 11' beam at the widest part, the hull tapers back about a foot and a half or so in the stern. The engine is a John Deere 6414 straight 6 turbocharged, aftercooled and marinized by Lugger and is rated 220 horsepower. Glad you enjoy our videos, thanks for commenting!
Nope, different critter.These are shallow water, live on rock piles and hard bottom. Sablefish are deep 100- 750+ fathoms, soft muddy bottom and deep-water corals.
hey if you're ever looking for a good deckhand or someone to run your boat look me up I live in half Moon Bay California salmon Dungeness crab black hard rock-hard halibut octopus longline Rock cod I've done it allI just want out of California if you're ever in need of a good Skipper or deckhand look me up I'm ready to go God bless you
I have lived On Kodiak Island for 40+ Years, This is Not a fisheries I call sustainable, I am Pro commercial fishing, But these Guys are allowed 5,000 lbs a day, The average Black rock fish they are catching is 30 to 40 years old, the bigger ones they catch were swimming when JFK was killed,, These are very slow growing fish, Spots I went to 30 years ago to catch a few are now wiped out. These fish are all but gone around the rock piles I fished just 10 years ago, As R the cod. Our fish managers here on Kodiak R idiots, So sad.. Also the canneries only pay pennies per pound for these wonderful fish, As I stated I am pro commercial fishing living in a fishing town, But truth is truth, This fish is slow growing & cannot keep up with the take rate...Period. kodi
What you say does not seem logical with how strict the limits are in Alaska. That said, the law of the commons does not come into play. Florida and Alaska are the 2 strongest States regulating the fishery.
Matt your Dad's crazy some times and I thank he hated himself ? It made me smile and laugh thank you I needed it.
A beautiful day, good 👍 fishing, and a beautiful place!! Can't beat that!!
I love watching your trips. It would be cool if you would explain...the technic your using..what kind of hook. Bait etc

Can you give me the blueprint of your rock fish jigging machine or recommend if sold where I can purchase?
What are licieces and permits coat for each fishery ? Whay was cost of your toal set up boat and all? What time of year do you fish each ?
Wow, great question Allan. Jig permit is good for rockfish and cod and is $75. Salmon is limited entry and permits are running $32,000- $38,000 and renewal fee is $75.

@@EISAlaska $33 and 40 a pound for halibut permit, so expensive? does that mean you buy it once and have the right to fish lifetime?
I really enjoy how you catch rockfish. Very little bycatch involved. Was wondering do release small rockfish at depth?
Thanks jpicknell. It is amazing clean fishing. We get cod occasionally, but we get 20% bycatch retention for them. As for rockfish, we are required to retain 100%., so we spend a fair amount of time looking for good grade.
Ah that is great to hear that you do. So many floaters are left her in Oregon
@@jpicknell24 That's what is amiss in fisheries resource Management... lack of common sense.
@@maddierosemusic we use descending devices on sport boats to release rockfish at depth. It helps reverse the pressure created in their bodies.
I live watching your videos, Im so jealous seeing all those catch. Just curious is your boat hull allinum or FRP?
Hi NFS Djan. So glad you enjoy the videos and thanks for joining us. The hull is FRP.
I’ve heard of rock bass but what is a rock fish? Andrew are they best cooked?
Rockfish is the common name for many of the rock dwelling fish in Alaska. Black, dusky, yelloweye rockfish.
.i love the mutipule use of youre boat......
Thanks Bob, we've done a lot to her over the years.

Thanks David. We sell direct to families across the US. Check us out at eisalaska.com Thanks!
Permits are expensive if you don’t havea good season

what type of ANODE do you have for the hull ??
Zinc anodes. One located on the rudder, prop nut, keel cooler and rudder strap.
bro how i get machine fishing like that,how much?.from indonesia
Indonesia right now traditional fishing.Plesee tell me brooo.
Hi 31 Dreem! These are sold as bandit or snapper reels. They cost about $1500, but if you look at the ones they sell, it would be fairly easy and inexpensive to build some yourself.
Do ya gut the rock fish?.
We do for the fresh markets we ship to.
Ride on guys
Thanks Erwin.
What do you get paid per lb at the dock? Nice video and boat set up!!
I think town price is around $.50/ lb., but we direct market all our rockfish. Thanks for the feedback on the video and our setup. We are always making improvements to improve quality and efficiency. Thanks for watching!
What was the red fish?
Yelloweye. Also marketed as red snapper.

Now are those black cod, sable fish?
Nope, different critter.These are shallow water, live on rock piles and hard bottom. Sablefish are deep 100- 750+ fathoms, soft muddy bottom and deep-water corals.
EIS Alaska ok thanks I didn’t think so. Sable fish make great fish tacos. Just subbed love your channel thanks for answering
@@bubbleone6526 Thanks for subing Bubble. That black cod sure is delicious.
Next time could you show us how you cut the fish to bleed them
Yeah, we will try to get a shot. Matt just cuts a few of the gill rakers. Bleeds em' out good.
The fast forward just ruins the video unless you like watching an old keystones cop show.
Dam no off load
Hey Leo. Check out "Offloading the Catch". Thanks for watching!
I will keep them coming.

What’s the point of bottom fishing lol, looks so boring
I have lived On Kodiak Island for 40+ Years, This is Not a fisheries I call sustainable, I am Pro commercial fishing, But these Guys are allowed 5,000 lbs a day, The average Black rock fish they are catching is 30 to 40 years old, the bigger ones they catch were swimming when JFK was killed,, These are very slow growing fish, Spots I went to 30 years ago to catch a few are now wiped out. These fish are all but gone around the rock piles I fished just 10 years ago, As R the cod. Our fish managers here on Kodiak R idiots, So sad.. Also the canneries only pay pennies per pound for these wonderful fish, As I stated I am pro commercial fishing living in a fishing town, But truth is truth, This fish is slow growing & cannot keep up with the take rate...Period. kodi
one of my friends work at NOAA told me they do biomass assessment for every commercial species, it seems this fish is well under the catch limit.
What you say does not seem logical with how strict the limits are in Alaska.
That said, the law of the commons does not come into play.
Florida and Alaska are the 2 strongest States regulating the fishery.
