I mended nets for years, and I never tied a bowline when I was mending nets. And I learned from Shelly Egle. :-o

[@MaxKobuk]

Funny how there’s lots of ways to accomplish the same thing :)

Nice sets and great scenery! How long has Kodiak had a sac roe fishery? Don't recall it ever being a thing back when I was around in the 70's - 90's. Tendered a few times in PWS and Norton Sound and some of that got pretty crazy.

[@MaxKobuk]

Thanks! I’m not sure how long it’s been a thing on Kodiak. I bet that was pretty wild!

[@rolandwheeler4842]

Nice video Max. So the boat is basically a hybrid that you outfit based on what you are targeting? Do you work year round?

[@MaxKobuk]

Thanks Roland! Yes, the boat works year round for a number of different fisheries, but I do not.

[@alexsharypov6700]

Very cool

[@kevinbradley6768]

I've seined in Kodiak for salmon for 4 years on the west side. What part of Kodiak is that?

[@MaxKobuk]

This was a little bit all over

[@macreato911]

Wow los of views!

[@Sean-fb7cy]

Would it not be better to mend the net properly

[@MaxKobuk]

It probably would, but when a section of net is already getting pretty worn, it’s not really worth it to reweb it. We’ll just swap out the section after the season.

Herring fishing is a waste of time these days. No money in it.
