sorry about my 'rotten' comment, I had your boat mixed up with another Hornby Island boat - Greybeards 37 foot whal. It was better looking than my uncles boat - but my uncle said it was rotten.. ;) however I did drink black heart rum on your boat, I think..
It’s only about a kilometre up from the river mouth… Right now the salmon are running in full force so it’s a good time to jump in with your mask and snorkel and make sure to bring waterproof camera with you… You’ll see thousands of fish
Man I never seen so many Keepers everybody else is all the other videos I watch everybody's throwing back over 3/4 Lobster in the keys these guys are keeping everything
Margarito Gomez that video was taken off the southern tip of Nova Scotia.. off Yarmouth.. i live on the west coast of Canada .. if you want to buy a boat and run it to Texas I’m sure you could easily.. www.kijiji.ca/b-boat-watercraft/yarmouth/boats/k0c29l1700259
Great job looking after the stocks , seems like they are plentiful enough . I am an Australian so i have no clue about closed seasons ect .I did however live in Toronto for years i really want to head back to the NS PEI or NB Newfoundland provinces and spend some time there eh .
The new deck hand in the yellow slicker suit got the "hand-me-down" rain suit with dirt and grime on it. I would be yelling at him to work faster. Move it kid ! Cheers !
Why does it always seems to me that all fisherman throw back the undersized catch as if it is garbage ? Instead of placing the catch back into the water they toss it back high and careless ? It’s probably just me ! And how it seems to me!
Michael Tarasenkoop they were not only undersized… They were also female lobsters which we were are not allowed to keep… We don’t have the time to gently placed them back in the water when we have pot after pot coming up… Believe it or not… Lobsters are extremely tough… The reason why I was throwing them high was so that I wouldn’t hit either one of the other deckhands in the face in the process of releasing them… You would be surprised Just how overwhelming it can be when they start coming in fast and furious
Nice video, and wonder if it is Ok to use this video for advertising NS lobster in China? Could i contact with you? Or call 1902-873-8808 and looking for Xi. Thanks a lot!
PALIN SMITH this was my first time fishing the Atlantic.. I was a west coast fisherman for about 30 years .. had a chance to come and try my hand at Banding .. although I was slow to start ..I loved it..
BrightBlue FierceFlame normally? No… But I am a commercial fisherman on the West Coast… I only traveled to the East Coast to put bands on lobster claws for the first three weeks of one season because I was invited out by a friend of mine who was running the boat at that time. It was a great experience and I would love to do again and if I ever get the chance, I will go again
ViCiOuS66 sounds cool! what seafood do you sell? . can you refer your friend who run a boat to me? or do you know where i can get lobster fisher directories?
How do I go about getting a job on a fishing boat in Canada? Tons of sport experience but looking to get into commercial. Seem to be mostly family run. Willing to travel, any help would be appreciated, thanks!!
Matt Eaton first of all, you will need to get a Canadian work visa and secondly line up a fishing vessel that is willing to hire you and sponsor you as a deckhand for your stay while in Canada…The hardest part being finding a captain and crew that's willing to take on a green deckhand… Now this applies to both coasts, and many years ago when I started commercial fishing, it took me about three years of pestering skippers to finally give me a chance .. but as I said, you'll have to get a Canadian work visa first. Best of luck to you
Shoulda been more specific. I'm currently a Canadian resident living in New Brunswick. Gonna hit up the docks and take a chance. Might just head down to Alaska for the Salmon season if I can't land anything here. Thanks for the help!
Matt Eaton I've been pestering and bothering captains, deckhands, and people I know about getting on for about 8 months, as long as you bug a captain or whoever enough I believe you can get on, get your MED course which will deff help you get ahead no doubt, if you can bother them enough and convince people you want to work hard enough you'll get on brother, that's all it took for me
Thanks for the reply! Got my MED A1 booked, is there anything else I need? How do commercial fishing licences work if you don't mind me asking. Got my foot into a processing plant and hoping that will help.
wow people are just ignorant and believe that all commercial fishermen get off on harming the sea.it is actually in the best interest of fishermen to take care of the ocean and not kill what is not needed and that practice is common place in north America, at least with the fishermen I know. nice video
erik shurtleff I shot that video about six years ago, and yes commercial fisherman do get a bad rap quite often and it's usually by people who don't know what the fucking talking about or hippy tree huggers that think everything has a right to survive. Those six Gill sharks were incidental by catch which is why they were all released, plus they are protected species in our waters whereas one time they were nearly wiped out… Now the numbers are increasing and there seems to be a lot more of them .that's a good thing…
erik shurtleff there's no real market for them, they're more of a nuisance than anything but as a matter of fact, yes we did take some nice fillets off of it, I brought it home and ate some of it… It wasn't that bad but I wouldn't do it again as for the jaws? Yes, I did cut the jaws out , In fact they're still in my freezer because I have yet to deal with them properly LOL
That bander was me.. My first time fishing lobster . Maybe come out to my coast and see how many salmon you can dress in one minute and we can see who's in slow motion :)
+jermo31 actually it does surprise me. I didn't think there was a salmon fishery left on the east coast unless you came out west to do it . As for my speed , after about a week i picked up pretty good , took a bit to get the feel for it but for a 48 year old guy trying a completely new fishery I thought I did pretty good and so did my skipper and crew mates :)
+vicious6667 it was a open sea fish farmer i worked for but have done lobstering for the last 12 years or so and i enjoy it more and has less enviromental distruction
+jermo31 out here we have three different gear types to catch 5 species of salmon . Gill net , seine and troll ( hook and line ) all three are very efficient with a bit of incidental bicatch and hardly any environmental impact . Pretty clean fisheries actually . It's big business out here in BC but in all honesty , I'd love to continue fishing lobster . I had a lot of fun and it was fairly easy in comparison to most fisheries i have taken part in over the last 25 years. It was a blast ! Hoping to come back again next year
+vicious6667 0:46 Their ventral areas are completely white from the snout to the tail. This is a characteristic of the Southern species. However I think I saw another one at 0:56 that had the coloration of the Northern species. How strange.
What I see here is a pod of northern right whale dolphins, in which one of the individuals probably has a color mutation that turned his flippers white. Notice that none of them have a white rostrum which is characteristic of the southern right whale dolphins. But as you mentioned, the underside is mostly white... So it could also be a hybrid; who knows? As far as we know their ranges don't overlap.
Since it’s beak tip isn’t white, I would say it’s a northern. And you can find a northern’s photo here who got white pied on its fins..maybe a common mutation? www.alamy.com/stock-photo/northern-right-whale-dolphins.html
Hello! We've enjoyed watching your videos. We're making a brand new lobster bait that is doing very well in Maine. A few months ago we gave a lot of bait to the Paturel Company (East Coast Seafood) in Canada to hand out samples to many lobstermen. Just this week we sent some bait up to Nova Scotia for some lobstermen who are willing to try it out and film it for us. It costs quite a bit of money for us to ship the bait up there but if you'd be willing to give it a good try and film it the experience we'd gladly send you some bait! Le me know what you think. Stacy :)
