<----- fan of the show too.

Not only does Sig's crew seem to bring home the most cash, they just seem like cool guys too, lol.
Absolutely :aok

I recall a thread a while back where we theorized about what Sig, Edgar, @ crew would do if challenged by those PETA morons. The possibilities are endless. :D

Heh..well...they're definitely entertainers. It's an amusing show.  :D
The boat I'm hoping to get on has about twice the quota share of the Northwestern.  But if they step out of the camera spotlight one morning in port, this deck monkey would probably pay for the round of coffees...  :aok

I'm talking next season.  :aok

I'd be doing halibut in the fall and then Browns/Kings in sept/oct/possibly part of Nov.
Opillio's (snow crab) are done in January but I'd come back down here for our season.
I'm in Oregon. We do dungeness, some halibut, blackcod, Albacore, and Humboldt Squid!


Hey!  Our Squid Steaks our Humboldts! 
We slice them, dredge 'em in butter milk and tempura flour and fry 'em...
Good stuff...  How do you catch 'em?  Jigging?
The stuff we have comes from Mexico which are all caught on jigs..

Thats Casco Cove which is another fuel stop along the way before Kamchatka.  It can be a tricky approach along the north ridge if you arent ready for it. :aok'

You got coords on the 38?

Not positive how far out he was.  The pilot, John Geddes, got pulled out by a Kingfisher crew.  There is another one that ditched 300 feet off "Rat" Island, trying to rtb to Kiska after strafing North Head.  "Spider" Livesay got out of the plane but died trying to reach shore.

That's very cool Scotch :aok Must be tremendously hard work and much fun to think about once each trip is finished. :)

Hey Scotch, if you do make it up there, take some pictures for us.

And Stay Dry Man. :aok

If you aren't referring to alcohol, that's probably impossible. :D Even if you are, probably pretty close to impossible.

Let me clarify.. out on the Bering Sea, there's damp and then there's dead. Stay damp Scotch. :aok

Yeah jig fishing. They're kind of creepy. Aggressive and big! They taste good though  :devil
But ours all go to the bait market.


I'll hopefully know in the next couple months what my chances are to get on that crew. It's still pretty early. But I'm definitely looking for a waterproof way to take some pictures of the fishing we do out here at least. Some of the sights we get to see are pretty amazing!  :aok
