Thanks, Tbone! Definitely one of our slower hauls, but its still great to be on the water.

[@karldahl4113]

Not only is Matt a first class mate, a hellaver great director also! Wonder video as always.

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

So good to see your Mom, & Triston! This was interesting how you used 1800' of rope(?). I like how you wove the colors into the line to mark your 25' & 50'. That made sense, either end in would be 25' in. It was sad to see you go to all that trouble to put in new lines that you ended up with a starfish, 2 stingrays, & 2 Halibut while the seagulls enjoyed pollock scraps. I liked how your Dad separated the braids to put the chain link (?) on then wove the threads back into the rope with his tool, then burned the ends to prevent further fraying. It holds up so strongly. I watched this video several times. I loved seeing what you pull up out of the water. I love seeing everything you see. The scenery, the sea, is so beautiful around you. I really like all these different angles you show. It's nice to get a glimpse into the lives of other people to see how they live. It's sure not an easy life. Thank you. Have a good week.

Seasickness isn't fun. Shame there's no cure all, but different platforms may have different effect as well. Bigger boats typically have a slower roll than small skiffs, different smells of the boat as well. Thanks for commenting, Thomas!

[@wesleymonske8103]

Sharpen those hooks. Dremell tool has a portable Dremel that takes battery's. Get a diamond wheel and buff them up. PS why not catch your own bait. You have down time. Break out herring jigs and catch some bait on fishing poles . Go claiming and use horse clams. They stay on the hooks and halibut favorite foods. Try it. Your welcome in advance.

hi fellas , greetings from sunny Queensland Australia , good video this one , cheers

[@stevenhunt7113]

Love this video

[@wranther]

At least the water was not so bad out on your first halibut line this season. Seems the skate were as attracted to the line as were the couple halibut early on. Noticing though that the dump ducks were not snapping up the spent back when tossed overboard. Something not right with the bait this run? Better success on the next lines! -Bob...

[@EISAlaska]

They've been kinda chill for once, Bob! The gulls haven't been being obnoxious like usual, lol. It was a slow day for sure.

[@VITING363]

hello, it would be very interesting if at the end of the video you told how much money you spent on bait, on fuel and how much money you eventually earned upon arrival at the port. It is possible to show in the form of a table. I really like your videos, I'm looking forward to new videos. Good luck to you!!!))

[@sherwinmendozaanago4174]

👍🤗😍💚❤️🥰👏 watching from Philippines 🇵🇭

[@popquizzz]

Question: Being a commercial Fishery, are you required to buy bait rather than fish for bait? I guess free bait and pollock at sixty five cents a pound saves the money on the fuel to catch bait.

[@EISAlaska]

We are allowed to catch some bait, but the majority of our bait the last couple year we've had to buy due to time constraints.

[@ricklarouche4105]

Just curious if you guys ever tied into something large and unexpected while fishing? Shark, or whatever?

[@paulcarlson368]

If you split your coil of rope you won’t get any twist’s in it at all when you run it out. Works with any size rope, 3 ply to 8 ply. DSR rope is the best to get 😊. If you don’t know how to split your coil of rope, flip me a message and I will gladly help you 👍

[@ralphmckay6380]

Could you please explain what the bird line consists of and the way it deflect the birds attention from the main fishing line. Thank you. Love your video. I never miss any.

[@TheCaptainbeefylog]

The bird line is a rope with a float at the far end from the boat. There are a number of other pieces of rope attached to the main line. They hang down like vertical blinds and the birds won't fly through it for fear of hitting a wing on the vertical lines. It's done so the birds don't try to grab a bait with a hook in it, which will drown them. This is a mandated device for the safety of wildlife.

[@ralphmckay6380]

Alaskan’s doing Alaska ! Simple!

[@martygrove3986]

The longer leaders look harder to deal with tanglewise. Is this an experiment to see if they are more effective at fish catching or a new regulation?

[@EISAlaska]

No regs as to length or size of gangion material or hooks. This was some gear a freind had baited up. He finished his quota sooner than expected and let us fish his gear rather than strippping the bait and wasting it. We also used longer gangions in the past, but adopted shorter ones quite some time agao. They are a lot easier for us to handle.

[@Tony7534]

Interesting video I have one question how is the hook line kept in place

[@oldmanriver1057]

What, you don't do a tapered splice, then doing a back splice or two?

[@william6526]

The longer leaders seem to messed up your routine. It just looked like the set out and retrieve were more disorganized then I'm used to seeing.

[@EISAlaska]

William you are correct. We used to have long gangions like the ones we used on this trip. Honestly don't miss them one bit. It was hard to get into the groove setting and hauling.

[@NorthwestN8V]

just curious, how long does your guys halibut season go for? and does it get split up by the seasons? down here in the sound commercially we get to fish during the spring and maybe into the summer depends if theres quota still left. but i know alaska has one of it not the biggest quota for halibut

[@EISAlaska]

The commercial season in Alaska runs 9-10 months. The start/ end dates move around a bit, but it usually opens the first week of March and closes early November. This year the close date is Dec 7th. I think it was extended the last few years due to Covid.

[@NorthwestN8V]

@@EISAlaska ya our season got extended too it ended september 30th. the straits of juan de fuca is where i fish. and the last couple years has really been great but theres a few fish out there

[@thecableguy1128]

Can you do a video with your braiding of the rope? Then explain how you figure out which one of the 3 strands to start with. I mess it up about 80% of the time and have to start over. Thanks

[@EISAlaska]

We'll do that next time, Neil! I (Matt) still have a hard time getting it going sometimes. It would be cool to have a tutorial video.

[@EISAlaska]

Here is another video Niel. Maybe it will help. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKnVaHuEmZl_qcU It really doesn't matter which strand you start with, as long as you go in order after the fist one.

50:13 leuke opname's buiten boord

[@salmonhunter7414]

I know i am just thinking lazy but do they sell precut bait.

[@TheCaptainbeefylog]

If they do, it'll be a lot more expensive. For small commercial boats, it's all about saving on expenditures that aren't vital to the ongoing operation of the boat. Much like any small business. Bigger boats are usually part of a fleet and have a lot more leeway in income/outgoing for a number of reasons. It's like a corner store versus Costco.

[@Jsu0234m]

Are you backing down on it, or just letting it pull the boat backward as it comes up?

[@EISAlaska]

Usually we haul with the current, so by hauling the longline in, the boat will follow. Sometimes we need to reverse on it when the wind or current is pushing us against the line, this keeps it from stretching out and lifting the line off the bottom.

[@salmonhunter7414]

Is the cost different for each type of bait fish?

[@TheCaptainbeefylog]

Yes. Squid, pollock, herring and other baits can have very different prices to each other as well as go up and down in price, depending on scarcity/abundance of them, seasonality, costs (fuel, pay etc) and demand.

[@EISAlaska]

Keep at it Terry, it will come. A few tips that may help. If the line is really soft and floppy, tape the ends of the strands to keep them from unravelling. Before you make the first tuck, tape around the diameter of the line on one side and start with tucking those strands first. After the first tuck on both sides, draw the stands tight by pulling lightly on each one, several times. The goal is to draw it up good and tight, but evenly. If you tug hard on the strands it will draw up unevenly and be lumpy and misshapen. Here is another video, I think shows the process a little better kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKnVaHuEmZl_qcU Good luck!
