Life on the Pacific Ocean
I've been away commercial fishing Chinook Salmon(trolling) for the last couple weeks. Here's a few video's from the trip. Beware those with sensitive ears...I'm on the water so there is fowl language from time to time...No forum sensors out there.
We had some great weather and great fishing...of course there was the opposite of this as well but who video's that? Very warm water so there was a lot of sail jellyfish floating around. I haven't seen this many since I was a kid so I guess I thought it was cool. Some Dall's Porpoise also came to visit one day and hung around us for quite some time. Normal sort of occurrences on the west coast I suppose but some may find it interesting. Other people pay big money to see the things that I take for granted at work. http://youtu.be/joU1FWV0M6I http://youtu.be/3T3Fu18738Y http://youtu.be/tuS_E8GZvY0 http://youtu.be/MkO2XIeg9Lk http://youtu.be/h7CsnWUf1S4 http://youtu.be/vCDCqchY384 http://youtu.be/mEf06zz-ixY Reg |

Re: Life on the Pacific Ocean
Welcome back safe and sound Reg.
Judging from those massive swells in the videos, you had your hands full! Thanks for sharing. Any chance you could send just a few of those fish our way. Mario |

Re: Life on the Pacific Ocean
Boy oh Boy, getcha out on the water & the 'talk like sailor' flows out of you... of course there are days on the farm when I abuse the same lingo too.
Do you go for days at a time? And just you & your brother for a crew?

I'll put some fish in the mail for you. It should be there before next season! Thanks Wayne. I had my GoPro with me too but never bothered to set it up anywhere. When the fishing is good you don't have much time for that and when it's bad you don't want video of it. A little would probably help explain what we are doing to catch the fish though... Quote:
It's just my Dad and I on the boat. We were away from home for a little over two weeks this time and did two fishing trips but normally we aren't gone that long. Neither one of us like to be away from home anymore unless we have too Reg |

Re: Life on the Pacific Ocean
Nice videos Reg, I really enjoy watching this stuff!
So is the fishing your job or another hobby? |

Fishing is my job I guess. When I started fulltime with my Dad after graduating high school 21 years ago we worked steadily about 10-11 months out of the year. Now we struggle to work half of that because of cut-backs, increased costs and so on. Thankfully I was able to start RCP's! Even though it doesn't replace the missing income from our shortened fishing season, it has kept the wolf away from our door! It has also kept me from having to get a 9-5 job....an idea that I personally dread! |

Re: Life on the Pacific Ocean
I wish I had a 9-5 job, mines more like 6:30-5:30 Probably like when your fishing.
Were the guys in the video that were down in the hold with fish that appeared gutted and on ice, on your boat? |

Yes that is our boat and the guys down the hold are plant workers. We sometimes have to unload our own catch but not too often. Last edited by RCP57; 08-06-2014 at 12:58 PM. |

Re: Life on the Pacific Ocean
Nice video work Reg. Looks like a good haul, do you go by weight or quantity?

Re: Life on the Pacific Ocean
Thanks Keith! We get paid by the pound but there are four different size categories and prices for the chinook salmon. Most of them have red flesh but a small percentage have white flesh(really pale pink) so they have their own grades too. We get paid the most for the largest red ones and the least for all the white ones.

Re: Life on the Pacific Ocean
I was away commercial fishing again off and on for the last few weeks. The water temp has been really warm this year off the coast of BC so we've seen some things that we don't see all the time. Here's a few videos of some stuff we saw.

Re: Life on the Pacific Ocean
I haven't updated this for quite some time but I have been on the water a bit.
Last week was shark week on Discovery. I guess these sharks knew that I wasn't able to watch at home so they came to me.lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2asWZTbTAQQ Also some Dolphins swimming beside the boat while we were traveling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBqTIyB-_Xk |
