She's a tough ole gal.
It takes a while to get used to foot throttle and foot trim as well as the personality of the boat.
It's like getting to carnegie hall.
Practice man...practice....

Both, my wife and I enjoy being on the water. It's just the two of us on a 32 ft boat. Between the weather, rough seas, and trying to keep whale, sea lions, and seal from going thru your net, it can really get the blood flowing. One needs a limited entry permit to sell the salmon. Currently, a permit for our area is selling for $240k.
Nice boats. Agreed one can't have too many as they all have strengths and weaknesses.
Im guessing that license doesn't apply to native americans, and that you are likely quite limited to what you can haul in as an individual.
In Alaska in the 90's it was something like 5 a day and without a license vs "natives" 50 a day plus I could not use a net and they could

You have some great boats too! That Lavey looks way over the top, literally and figuratively.
In our area, the Alaska natives are allowed to fish for special village celebrations, several times during the season. Alaskan residents can subsistence fish via drift gilnet (usually like 30 fish per a family of two) but many natives hold limited entry permits, many grandfathered in years ago. They are some of the best fisherman as they have been fishing all of their lives.

There is the opportunity to make a lot of money. One native fisherman we know did 100k in the first month this year. We did half of that in the same time. If you're targeting sockeye salmon, the season is 6 to 8 weeks in our area. A lot of young guys getting into our fishery because of the opportunity, which is keeping the price of permits up. We kind of shudder at what are these guys going to do if the fish don't show up. How are they going to make the payments on their permit and boat?

Thanks Dave. She'll do for now but when the kids get older, we're going back to the hot rod.
Not much but here is mine.
