Long Line Fishing in the Bay of Fundy, Nova Scotia Canada

Part 1. Fishing with Capt Vance Dixon & Crew Robbie Prime, August 9th 1988. Note: This was the Stella Jean, not the Fundy Gypsy. Thanks Dan for the heads up!

I did this 45 years ago. This was longlining for many small operations. The really good old guys would haul, wind and hang the hook on the side of the bucket as fast as it came in. The main line was high quality tarred cotton. The stick is for when the boat is slow. It flings in a zig zag, keeping more line on good grounds. Netters do that too.

I was hake fishing on the Long Island shore about the time this was filmed. We would run 5 tubs of close gear,hooks about 28 inches apart, and let it set no more than a half hour before we started hauling it back. Most of the sets were for 4 to 5 thousand lbs. of hake and cod. We didnt run by hand tho we used a sluce.

[@LeonAllanDavis]

Wrong...it was 30 years ago...

[@zcr19]

that's how it was done back then bud a lot of the small shore boats set like that because ya didn't lose any bait.

[@SuperOlds88]

looks like a good way to end up being fishbait

I bet we can fish Fundy there

[@kennethgrimes5494]

This is how we shot long lines back in the day when i first started fishing .dangerous way to do it but it worked just watch out for flying hooks. And sometimes the line tangeled and jerked the whole tub overboard.oh yeah sometimes you would catch a seagull or albatross. Sometimes alot of them and when that happens you catch sharks.lol vicious cycle.

[@theodorethynes5537]

thee worst operation ive ever seen. and super dangerous i could swore i saw the guy reach down it the the gear and grab and un- snarl some hooks. Terrifying

[@1432bird]

[@jasonmiller1796]

Watching this is painful why ever do they feel the need to shoot with a stick just fabricate a stainless h bar over the stern and let them run over the stern I'm very surprise this guy hasn't any fingers missing

[@samkom33]

hehe i grew up using the stick metod to get the longline out.. hehe butwhen i was 15 i buildt my first wooden curved frame coverd with thin steel plate, it worked perfekt

[@colbtron]

A lobster boat I fish in Westport which is right beside tiverton

[@THEDUDE912]

umm...exciting?

[@flamedrag18]

so? I don't think the date makes any difference, the guys in the film are idiots, all you need is a piece of sewer pipe, two 3-4 foot pipes(PVC or steel) and some zip ties and you have a chute. I see no reason why you wouldn't have something other than a stick to set your gear.....
