have done 15 days before but due to cut back in days from the govt. we do shorter trips now, try to fish good weather windows as they come
It's not deadliest catch but a lot of hard work for-sure! When there was a sudden amount of great whites off the MA coast did you get to see any?
Unfortunately I haven't, have seen floating seal carcasses before with rather large bites in them.
Id love to see this

Nice to see another boat guy on here :thumb: I used to commercial fish squid and now run tug boats in CA
Seems to be less and less of these windows the last couple of years. Damm weather, I too used to commercial fish but the ever changing bottom complex regulations stoped most small grouper fisherman here and the mackerels are not schooling like they used too...
Looks like all had a killer haul that trip, pretty work...
I'm running a towboat for a tow/salvage company in the Bay Area right now but yes I have run boats in Pedro. You work down there?
Yep every single scallop, thats why we try to work on the big stuff(less cutting & better price) figure 18,000lbs, 15scallops to a pound avg. 270,000 scallops that have to be shucked in 7 days
avg. day is 18hrs working
one of the guys I work with was going to San Diego to do the lightboat/seine squid fishing this past winter
this month I have gotten in one day trip & 3 days on the big boat thats itSeems to be less and less of these windows the last couple of years. Damm weather, I too used to commercial fish but the ever changing bottom complex regulations stoped most small grouper fisherman here and the mackerels are not schooling like they used too...

the regulations get worse every year, probably 3/4 of the guys I knew that fished 10 years ago are out of the industry now
that trip that was videoed last fall was a good trip but not as good as it would be in the spring, the scallop meats are 50% smaller in the fall after they spawn out
I lived in san pedro all my life up until 2 months ago when my girlfriend and i got our own house in Harbor City, right by narbone high school.
I would kill to have the regulations from 10 yrs ago, but alas it's just gonna get worse...
Oh cool. I lived on 20th and Alma, ran boats out of fish harbor. I'll be back down there when i finish up up here. Where's your diesel shop and napa auto parts?
