Dory Fishing: A Family Legacy

There is hidden world in the waters of Pacific City, Oregon. Oh, you can see the dory boats as they come and go, gathering fish and entertaining travelers. But the real life of these modern day fishermen is something you don't know much about unless you ask. We did just that.

Doing this is on my bucket list, for the historical connection to a passing commercial fishery, and to catch fish.

...doing this is on my bucket list, even though I own my own seagoing boat, up in Washington State.

That beach landing looks so much fun.

Looks like fun family time. One of my daughter's favorite thing was salmon fishing And crabbing out of Newport.

How can you winch it onto the trailer with no water under the boat?

[@thomassmestead9905]

The trailers articulate.

I love the dory boats but not a fan of some of the skippers who think they own the beach and the access to drive on and off the beach. I've seen fights break out because the fishermen hauling their boats off the beach would make cars driving onto the beach back up to give them right of way. Not sure what the etiquette is supposed to be. I dont see signs and very confusing. I'm sir some kid will get killed by a dory coming in hot the whole show will be shut down.
