Fish Safe is a commercial fishing industry driven safety program. This program and the tools it provides to the BC commercial fishing industry are designed by fishermen for fishermen with the goal of promoting ownership of safety on board fishing vessels. This website is another tool to assist fishermen in their goal to "Come Home Safely".
There have been fishermen in the Rivers of our country that have allowed greed to affect their better judgement. Numerous deaths have occurred when overloading shad netting in those relatively small boats normally used. When a loaded barge or ship passes by it will always bring a wake which will cause a rapid lift and subsequent rapid fall. The need for a big catch clouds judgement and water doesn’t have that cold to cause hypothermia and death.
Thank you for this impressive video! Unfortunately, there are a lot of careless people in the area of water sports - I will now present your video to some of them on my site and in relevant forums. Maybe they'll think about it then. I tested my drysuit in 5° Celsius cold water and was shocked at how quickly I could no longer use my hands properly and how the cold of the water became more and more noticeable despite warm underwear.
I use only бottom nets ...I am russian unlegal fisherman ....4 nets * 60 meters long = 240 meters -24 hours === 150-200 kg flat fish ....deps 20 meters , near russian VLadivostok city .....
is it safe to say the heavier the keel the better the stability on a 22 degree dead rise - 15' beam fishing boat? or how heavy a keel should be? thank you?
