I've been binge watching your videos for the last few days. The more I watch, the more I like. I love how you explain what you are doing. Keep up the good work.

[@atkpirate7831]

Love this man. I’d give anything to work like this with my family. May god bless you all and always bring you home safe.

[@EISAlaska]

Appreciate the comment Patty, it really is a great lifestyle, very thankful for it. Take care!

[@longlowdog]

30 years ago I was a prawn and lobster fisherman off the west coast of Scotland. I never remember a bad day at sea when hauling pots. This series took me back to my youth and was very pleasant to watch. Thank you.

[@EISAlaska]

That's great to hear that we've brought back some good memories, longlowdog. Appreciate the comment and thank you for watching!

[@rogerpinette480]

.You all are a happy family fishing at least on your video.My you have some very inclement weather at times.I have to go research on Tanner crab.Look quite different than the dungenes here in Vancouver. I also watched your holiday tonight on the Auke Bay breakwater. Do enjoy your video. Thanks Roger in Vancouver

[@EISAlaska]

Thank you, Roger! Sometimes it can get a bit stormy, we tend to stay tied up to the dock during those times. The trip was really fun!

[@DADDYO3]

Thanks for showing us the different kinds of crab.

[@tobiasgreen8211]

I've been watching your videos while isolating, you have kept me very entertaining, and educated. Your traps are so different than UK creels. But I guess its due to the restrictions. Anyway big thanks again. (and a second vote for a boat tour! How big is she? She got any history? Semi displacement? How much water she will hold in the crab tank, we call them viviers, I'm not a fisherman, I'm a really sick man who watches fishing videos as a way to relax... Your films are medicinal! 😂 Think I've watched most commercial fishing videos in English on KZbin, your's up there at the top. Big love from the UK )

[@EISAlaska]

Thanks for your comment, tobias! Yep we'll do a boat tour real soon. We're glad you enjoy our videos, and hope that you recover quickly! Again, thanks for watching.

[@8anirban]

Yummy seafood. Love from India🇮🇳

[@conjuring2356]

Glad I found your channel awesome videos

[@EISAlaska]

Welcome aboard and thanks for joining us.

[@zeekk109]

To stop rubber seals freezing or sticking put silicone Spray on them, don’t let it get on the deck, very slippery. Like the channel , good luck !

[@aluptown]

Awesome videos guys

[@EISAlaska]

Thanks!

[@josesangineshernandez415]

Estoy todas las noche viendo estos video me gusta soy español de Canarias aquí también se pesca

[@mikewilliams-no9cm]

Real nice crab

[@EISAlaska]

Thanks Mike. Those were jumbos. Had a lot over 3.5 pounds.

[@johnbutton4013]

Love the videos and the see. Would have liked to that as a young man. Keep up the great videos👍👍👍👍👍

[@EISAlaska]

Thanks John!

[@aryasputrawijaya9808]

Im touch like and subscribe, because this video my favorit 😀😀😀👍👍👍

[@redwood9741]

Great video..!

[@EISAlaska]

Thanks for the comment, Brett!

[@stevebonds5157]

Fresh dungenous...yummy. Love fishing for them at my parents house in Florence, OR. Such good videos to work to. What is your favorite fishery?

[@EISAlaska]

Glad you enjoyed them! Hard to say, its nice being able to do a lot of fisheries never get too bored of one. At the moments probably have to say Tanners because it doesn't happen every year.

[@thomasroberts9752]

I thought I heard you find the fleas and then wait like 2 or 3 days then they are gone and the crab move in or something like that?

[@Meidas_Lea]

Odd question ... Who chooses the music for the videos? Awesome!!!

[@EISAlaska]

It’s music from the KZbin library. We just select it when we edit, this time it was Matt.

[@raymondram894]

Good people.

[@josegutierrezb.1154]

Nice catch bro

[@EISAlaska]

Appreciate the comment, Jose. Thanks!

[@quetalpesca4972]

saludos amigos desde Peru, que forma de pescar muy buena, esos cangrejos son gigantes jejjeje like

[@turbomasterful]

Great videos. I live on in Eastern Canada in a huge fishing and lobster community. It's great seeing the different fishing/crabbing industry in other parts of the world. Look forward to seeing more great videos from you folks. P.S are you guys father and son or brothers?

[@EISAlaska]

Thanks Turbo. Father and son. My wife and youngest son also fish with us for salmon and halibut. I also enjoy watching other fishing operations. You guys work hard over there.

[@turbomasterful]

@@EISAlaska Okay right on. I don't do any fishing myself, I work in a lobster processing facility. Lots of work, little slow right now but will pick up here soon.

[@EISAlaska]

Got ya! Well, thats hard work too. A lot of time on your feet in wet, cold conditions. I admire our hard working processors here. Just as important to the industry as the fishermen in my opinion. Without each other , we are nothing!

[@turbomasterful]

@@EISAlaska At the peak of the season we work longer than most fisherman, we've worked 26 hours straight but usually anywhere from 8-15 hour days 7 days a week. Anyways I appreciate everything you guys do, without fishermen I wouldn't have a job so Thank you!

[@EISAlaska]

Yep, that's putting in the hours for sure. Hats off to you guys also.

[@mrblackbeast7172]

2nd bgm is super அருமை அருமை

[@gagepeterson992]

I am a deck boss for dungys down here in washington this looks like a cake walk compared to what how we fish! Awsome job guys, good money in this kind operation?

[@EISAlaska]

Thanks Gage. Yeah, this is really laid back. 20 pot limit per boat, and restricted to running gear between 8 am- 6 pm. It was poor fishing this year, but good in the past.

[@gagepeterson992]

EIS Alaska seems thats how its going for alot of crab fisheries right now low season down here also stay safe out there!! I go to bristol bay here in june cant wait to be back in alaska ketchikan is where i was born!

[@EISAlaska]

Awesome. Hope you have a prosperous season in the Bay. Stay safe out there!

[@jamesallen712]

I'm late to the videos. Watching this it makes me wonder how you make a living through this season. With all the fuel, gear and time spent you cant be breaking even with that. Tough.

[@joshlower1]

If you watch there other videos this is not there main occupation. Plus they make there own gear and that boat likely is pretty easy on fuel.

[@MadMike78]

I wonder how much they made from that catch.

[@wshtb]

How long is the season? Do you keep all the crabs in the tank until the season ends???

[@EISAlaska]

As you'd expect it depends on the catch rate. This year it was an extended season, fishing was really slow so it dragged on for about a month. Last year it was a couple weeks. We try not to keep them on board for too long, if they start dying it could be a domino effect, usually we'll deliver after a week tops.

[@chrisschacht9278]

not sure if anyone has asked but how heavy are those pots empty?

[@EISAlaska]

They weigh around 80-100 lbs. Pretty light and easy to push around, but it also limits our range with them. We can't fish in a big swell or they will "walk" away and get lost! Thanks for your comment.

[@chrisschacht9278]

@@EISAlaska I have used rings in the past in the Columbia and you can watch the float away

[@EISAlaska]

Yeah, that can be a problem for sure in high current areas or big swells. I think we are going to build new pots. Same design, just shorter and a larger, heavier base so they can't tip easily.

[@Tom-np3en]

Do you have any problems with pirating of your pots?

[@EISAlaska]

No, we haven’t had any problems with other vessels pulling our gear. We can only operate gear from 8 am to 6 pm, so no one stays out on the grounds unless they are fishing way offshore.

[@stevebonds5157]

Tanner, Opilio, Baridi - what is the difference?

[@EISAlaska]

Tanners aka Bairdi crab are generally bigger than Opilio crab, they are from the same family of crab.

[@mushroomdj722]

13:14 Popping crab zits lmao

[@muktinicolas4686]

Endinge nimbang...ya atane cair oh yah...????

[@jsliveedgedesignwoodworkin2602]

What part of Alaska do you guys fish?

[@EISAlaska]

Hi, J, we fish in the Gulf of Alaska, our home port is Kodiak.

[@dominikhofheinz3748]

If you guys see this comment, out of curiosity who makes the elastic bands around your bibs/boots

[@EISAlaska]

Hi, the bibs are made by Grundens, and the boots are Xtratuffs.

[@dominikhofheinz3748]

EIS Alaska thank you, are those bands around the bottom of ur bibs where they connect to the boots? Just curious I work on a boat in south East Alaska as well and it would be nice to not have wind blowing up my bibs!

[@EISAlaska]

Hi Dominik. We just use black tape. It holds really well and also helps keep water out. Other guys use heavy rubber bands they sell at marine supply stores, but they always slide down or feel to tight. Good fishing to you this summer and be safe.

[@dominikhofheinz3748]

EIS Alaska thank you guys I appreciate it. Good luck and good weather!

[@LoneWolf-ki5ee]

cheers from n z 10/10 again

[@EISAlaska]

Thank you Wolf, good to see you!

[@gagepeterson992]

Out crab pots are also 130-140 ponds each and we carry them stack em ourselves

[@EISAlaska]

Geez, makes my back hurt thinking about moving those around. Take care of yourself, back injuries last a lifetime.

[@gagepeterson992]

EIS Alaska forsure im the deck boss now so only time i carry them is in the gear yard or unless the other person is complaining about stacking high and ill pick up the slack

[@jurassicsushi]

Are Tanner crabs in the same family as Snow crab / Ophelia crabs?

[@EISAlaska]

They are! The ones we catch in Kodiak are Chionoecetes bairdi . Snow crab (C. opilio) or opies are harvested out west in the Bering Sea. Here is a link from ADFG with more info if you are interested. www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=tannercrab.main

[@stubby8663]

Thanks for the video guy's, very interesting ! I wish you guy's would have had a much larger catch for your pocket book but I guess that's fishing. Good luck next time. What's next ? is there another crab season or what do we see next ?

[@EISAlaska]

Thanks Stubby! Definitely slow, but still had a good time. Actually this area is still open after nearly two months. We probably won't see a local Tanner fishery for a few years. This was the end of a big pulse of crab and they were really nice, heavy crab. Just not enough, lol. Next is some cod jigging and after that we plan on fishing dungeness crab. It opens in May.

[@mikerhodes3563]

My family and i were shrimpers from South Louisiana -prices are low(imports) and fuel is sky high now-just wondering about how much yall get per pound on average and what’s your break even point-our goal was to always pay the expense and what ever you made after that is what paid the bills at home-i would imagine yall do pretty good-

[@reginaldoaparecido4658]

👏👏👏👏👏👊👊

[@lootllama8862]

I would have ate those crab for lunch, MMMM.

[@lpeter5781]

I’ve seen fish caught in deep water have issues with their air sacks, like walleye down deep in warm water. Is that an issue with any of crabs or unintentional catch you throw back? What can I say I’m from the prairies, don’t know nothing about fishing boats!

[@EISAlaska]

Hey Lyall. It's not a problem with crab or flatfish like halibut. Rockfish and cod are definitely affected, especially depths below 30 fathoms.

[@adamrussell6155]

Why no poundage or prices?

[@EISAlaska]

Simple. A lot of people get angry or offended when they hear what a load of fish is worth. What they don't realize is the cost to moor, maintain and insure a vessel and crew. The cost of permits and fishing quota. The personal risk of working the water, and bad seasons. So we prefer to keep it to ourselves, much as one might when asked what he earns a year.

[@johndelacruz1646]

Can you do a boat walk around?

[@EISAlaska]

We’ll do one soon! Thanks for your comment.
