Welcome to my channel as of yet all my videos are just what I recorded through my phone the last few years, just little glimpses into fishing, however in the coming months I’ll be posting dedicated youtube videos that are more in depth, I’d like to show the world our local fisheries and the sustainable practices we use, if you have any input or question shoot me a message,
I'd say you guys do it different in Canada, I'm a Maine lobster fisherman and our traps look much different. I'll definitely keep this system in mind for my next boat.
@Anonymous Anonyme No I was just saying the design of the trap is different, and much more efficient for a little faster of a system. Seasons, sea floor, and restrictions affect your catch, not the speed of your system.
That is not trawling. They are recovering longline tub gear. Should be using a much fresher bait and letting it soak longer to attract the bigger halibut.
@@salmonslayer707 in my opinion drag fishing and line fishing requires no sport nor skill. It's basically toss it out come back reel it in in huge quantities and all kinds of fish are being subjected to it and some of them are at very low population. I guess my points layer is I'm a fisherman and I love sport fishing and I eat what I catch that's good limit but this just seems a bit much you get dolphins hooked on there you get sharks and you know what the Asians do to them it's just not right. The floor is yours I look forward to reading your reply
@@JohnnyLaps @John Pistilli while I must agree that trawl/drag fishing as a deckhand requires little skill, the captain however has many inherent risks to avoid, such as snags, which can at minimum destroy the net and at worst sink the boat and kill the crew. When snags happen it takes great skill to avoid such a catastrophe. Furthermore drag fishing has came a long way from the destructive ways of the past which also help it avoid the catastrophes as I mentioned above. I suggest watching my good friend/owner/captain of Pioneer Seafoods video of his net at work under water ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bCUo6qMUCcA.html Now as for long line fishing. There are the lucky few who have expensive auto-baiters which do require less skill and make them more efficient time wise and then there are folks that can't afford such fancy equipment and fish on much smaller vessels such as myself. Hand baiting those thousands of hooks and having to very meticulously coil them into tubs so when set they go out without tangling. I reference my own video here setting gear on a small 38' Delta 40miles from land fishing in 3000ft of water ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qE7sKLcI7Lw.html I'd like to think that takes some skill. Sure plenty of people can do it but many more can't... Then last but not least...by-catch. Many people think of bycatch as fish being wasted which really isn't so in most cases. By definition bycatch is just anything caught other than the targeted fish. Every caught a Ling Cod, Vermillion, or Halibut while sport trolling for Salmon ? Well that's bycatch. Did you throw is away ? Probably not if it was of legal size. Most bycatch don't have swim bladders so they can easily be released usually unharmed even when caught in a drag net. The only bycatch I've ever caught while long lining Black Cod is sharks easily shaken off a circle hook seconds after its head even breaks the water. I hope you find my statement educational and I'll gladly elaborate more on anything you might have further questions about. Thanks
It’s not over fishing lmao. You must thing that sustainable fishing is the devil huh? Plants are the only thing you should eat? Dude don’t even complain about fishing if you have never done it.
