Fascinating. Looks like cold, hard and a little bit dangerous work.
Always love seeing videos of the different elements of the commercial game. As a kid growing up in NZ I worked on boats (all hand pulled gill netting fisheries) from when I was about 12 until literally the day before I came to the US aged 24. Every weekend and on every school break and occasionally when I just decided to bunk school. When I was at uni and the very long Christmas holidays rolled around and all of my mates were getting ready to dole bludge and head to the beaches for the summer I was fishing. It wasn't just the money it was the sense of achievement and the enactment of a plan. Brutal hours, tough weather and intermittent bouts of real danger.....greatest time of my life!
Excellent education for us out west! Thanks much for making this video for all of us. Cheers from Arizona!
Thanks for watching in Arizona!
I worked a couple seasons on a similar fishing boat out of Killarney Ontario, it was an amazing experience
Fished on a gill net boat in Northern Lake Michigan in 1972, ate fresh smelt all through the winter. It was my favorite job I ever had, but for money I spent 37 years in a papermill.
I wish more people would learn to appreciate smelt for eating.
Thats also a popular ritual around these parts.
@@Ibuywithpridellc I've seen those boats before. Who manufactures them and what type of boat are they?
Yaddahay smarmalite I love Smelt.
@@bobheinrich5034 I wish I had an answer for you Bob.
Keep catchin them and I'll keep eating! Glad to support a local fishery and see populations are stable. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching tercelfish. Check out the Bayfield Maritime Museum if you are ever in Wisconsin.
Awesome video!
There will always be a massive demand for fish as a resource... A good thing, I believe
First job was sardine factory. Then trucking the waste and eventually my own truck hauling herring in from 900 mile area where boats work
Double thumbs up. Nice job, much respect guys
I'm 13 years old and I want to do this. I'm always biking to our harbor to look at these boats and I'm obsessed. I really hope I can do this when I'm older
I've fished whitefish with trap nets and I got to say this looks a lot easier on your back. It's a killer leaning over the side and netting them out of the pocket. Ya I'm old.
Excellent video........ be well.
Thanks MegaBait
@@jonasheinzerlingoxygenimag295 , thank you....
I loved those diesels their sound was unique. You could move the magneto lever back and cause the engine to fire backwards amazing simple. But reliable engine. Michigan
You only hear about sport fishing not the commercial fishing. Didn't even know it existed till now and I lived in the great lakes area all my life. Just turned 55.
No kidding I live on Lake Erie and know lot's of commercial fisherman and boat owners even did some back when I was a teen I'm 41 years old now
I love pickled herring. Yummy
Big Herring = Big Lake Trout. 👍
I saw some funny looking boats moored up in Sheboygan Wisconsin. I bet this is what they were.
I've always wanted to do commercial fishing. I'm 14 by the way and I want to buy my own turtle back and go fishing in Michigan
My dad was on a fish tug out of south haven Lake Michigan storm of “29” I think his crew all drown, he would of too but had to take care of personal business that day. Michigan
That’s some pretty nasty water in November isn’t it ?
Season of the Nor'easters. "Lake" is not an adequate adjective to describe the vastness and weather that come with Superior.
"Wind in the wires made a tattle-tail sound"...."Twas the Witch of November come Stealin".. Gordon Lightfoot,
Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. ;]
mmmmm I can just taste those suckers all pickled and served in sour cream. That is my favorite!!! No one cares for it.
I'm not a fan, sorry to say, but I do appreciate the acquired taste. I fell in love with the taste of fresh herring after this project but am still trying to convince my family.
We used to have the herring here (ERIE), but I think they're all gone...still some in Ontario.
D Wetick plenty
Earing your pay everyday. Your on them
I see a market for folks that to some serious fishing and freezer stuffing and aren't afraid of getting wet.
LOL, I've been trying to figure out what was in those funny looking boats. I have no idea what they do on the Pacific Ocean where I live, but the boats look nothing like these.
Pitch and roll! Pitch and roll! Lol!
Great video. Thank you
Glad you liked it!
Man I love pickled herring!!
jeb stuart my refrigerator is never without a jar of it in there
Are these what we typically see packaged as pickled herring? I'm in South Central Wisconsin, about 70mi. from L. Michigan, and near 300mi. from L. Superior. MSN area. Just curious. BTW, If so they are yummo, and some of the best durn snackin' in this neck of the woods! Thanks for the yummies, boys! Can I buy fillets or whole (gutted) fish too? Only too glad to throw some fish bux at you v. Mrs. Paul. Ick.
Most of the herring is used locally and sent to Europe. They also ship the roe all over the world. I know Bodin's is working to supply the pickled herring industry but I'm not sure how much is. Thanks for watching William.
I was born in 1949. I can remember fishing boats on Lake Erie seining for perch. For as far out as I could see, I could see bottom. Sounds strange today to say that.
Do you ship any herring to laporte indiana area? And if not , how do I buy you're product?
Robert Forrester I’m not sure if they ship to the Hoosier land but you can contact Bodin’s www.bodinfisheries.com/contact-us.html or Bay Fisheries facebook.com/Bay-Fisheries-LLC-1617312855204510/
If you're of Port of Bayfield, you might even find folks who would pay to work on your boat. I would, but maybe a new greenhorn on deck every day wouldn't be productive.
That's possible but these good folks seem receptive.
Just curious if anyone knows why all the working areas on these boats are enclosed. Atypical of most fishing boats I have seen. Thanks
The "Turtle Back" design was adopted so that fisherman could fish all year around. The sturdy hull allows them to plow through pack ice. www.greatlakesfisheriestrail.org/collection.asp?ait=jv&jid=10
@@Ibuywithpridellc Thanks for the feedback. I've never seen this design before watching these videos.
What r the mercury levels like in these fish ?
mercury levels are very low, herring and forage fish are on the low end of the food web.
Not as bad as the left would like you to think and its going down every year. .5 PPM is considered a danger but most fish in Lake Erie for example, fall in the .18 -.19 range of PPM. Hardly a headline the left wants. I am no scientists or Doctor but these stats are out there.
We were cruising around Madeline island this past Labor Day weekend (2023)cruising at cocktail speed when this boat came around us. The number of sea gulls following it was unbelievable.
great video thank you
Thanks for watching Greg.
Are Ciscoes also called Chubs as in smoked Chubs ?
I'm not a fish expert Stan but I believe that Chubs can be Ciscoes but the term can be applied to several species of fish, depending on the region.
Nice work!
Thanks Andy.
Can you make videos on tug fishing boat
Would love to...if I could find the funding.
Looks like the Dyker Lass
A standard and successful model for these Great Lakes fishing boats.
I thought herring is a ocean fish.
The are both fresh and salt water fish.
How many trout and salmon do you get in these nets
Is this species different from the traditional "smoked chubs"?
yeah ther. Dem smoked chubs are a tad bit smaller eh
@@Ibuywithpridellc LOL!!
You like those smoked Chubs do ya
Thanks for sharing that and, eat less threatened species of fish and more of the local and healthy stocks people.
I’se the b’y who builds the boat
I’se the b’y that sails her
I’se the b’y that catches the fish
And brings them home to Lizer
between these guys and the indians.....
cold spring if you are referring to the commercial fisherman and the natives destroying the fishery don’t forget about the federal ammunition facility that dumped all those barrels up out of Duluth! Do you thing the fisherman and natives had anything to do with that you ignorant fuck head?! How bout all the creosote ponds in the chequamegon Bay Area, oh and don’t forget about DuPont in barksdale, as the rivers that ran off that property used to have a red tint to them. Sounds like the natives are really hard on the lake.
