Halibut Fishing - West Side of the Island
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 ก.ย. 2024
- In this video, we tried something different. We traveled to the west side of the island where the weather would be better for fishing. The fishing was super slow over in Viekoda Bay, not sure if it was because of sand fleas eating or bait or if the area was recently fished. So we traveled north to Marmot Bay, it wasn't crazy fishing but we were pleased with the outcome.
Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much for the boat ride. I am a 74 year old in Australia who have always loved deep sea fishing. Now unfortunately confined to home due to ill health and restrictions imposed by Covid-19 I watch every one of your shows and reminiscence on what could have been if I could be a crew member of your vessel. May you always enjoy pleasant weather. You are the most beautiful family. God bless

Another adventure with this incredible family! Love the reality of life they display! May the Lord bless you all abundantly and keep you safe!
The sound was very good in back of the boat. Great Job
Good to know, thanks!
It's a pleasure to watch how well you guys work together, would love to fly down and spend a day with you guys
It's amazing what you do matt you are a leader in the fleet your dad must be so proud of you as I see what you do you are a Legrand
Family EIS Alaska I would like to say thank you. Your channel is one of the most wholesome channels I watch here. "Independence' "Hardwork" "Family" "Harvest" and
"Peaceful existence." I grew up in the swamps of Louisiana; and grand parents, parents worked fishing, crabbing and hunting gators. I live in the city now; Who would think I would miss the water so much that I would sit here watching you fish for hours on end. That's why I say I honestly appreciate you sharing your lives with people like me.
Friday late night on the east coast is the perfect time to watch this video ! Thanks
I am from Malaysia. Respect the you fishing. You take only the good size fish and the fish allowed. We fish everything and take home consumption. Salute2👍👍
hei guys iv been a seeman many yrs in norway and its good to see u working so good together
Dog day afternoon. HA HA Bark Bark ahoooo. Gotta love the dogfish. At least its better than RATfish. Looks like a breeze in that calm weather. Coodoughs , good work.
Thanks a lot for your videos guys. Always look forward to the next one. I've done a lot of sailing in my day but always wanted to come up there and try the fishing .Too late now.. LOL Take care guys.
Hopefully someday, Bill! Thanks for tuning in!
Very cool how the waves break over the bow
your family team work is just kind of mind blowing . Thank you for feeding america :)
Love watching you guys. Good luck
Respect the fact you guys have the courage to show the good/bad days of fishing. Hey, it called fishing not catching. Nevertheless, still enjoyed your video & look forward to next, where hopefully you'll do a "hammer job" on those fish. God Bless!
Thanks, Louie!
Enjoy this very much.! Very cool.!👊🏻💪🏻
Your Coming Thru Loud & Clear
Thanks for another great video guys I'm sorry the catch wasn't better for you. I really appreciate the scenery it's just gorgeous... The weather and your ride out reminds me of growing up on the coast when the storms were coming in . I loved going down to the beach and feeling energized by the power it creates... We had horses and they would get really amped up before a storm hit. Pretty much a guarantee you were in for a frisky ride! Stay safe!!!!
ITS a Great View
Very interesting video, fishing sure is hard work and requires special kind of people to do it. I am amazed at how you find your lines even with electronics! Thanks for sharing!
Hey guys glad to see you back fishing
Hit it again tomorrow and knock em dead. The picture seemed better than usual and the sound was fine. Better luck with the flat fish on your next sets. I gotta say, that sure looks like a fine way to earn a living (when they're biting).
Hey thanks, Straw! Gotta take the good days with the bad. Could have been worse, that's what I always say.
Another great episode! Thanks for sharing! Started out rough but smoothed out later on.. Stay safe EIS crew!
I always look forward to your videos and find them very enjoyable to watch be it either fishing or boat maintenance/repair. Would it be possible sometime for you to show us on a map where you usually fish and where you went this time, perhaps showing your route as you headed out west? Also what makes a good fishing ground? Is it down to depth, sea bed topography? Thanks as always for sharing with us.
I know it’s been a year but I’m rewatching your videos waiting on the emerald videos
Good job Boys! Man I just smoked me a spliff and watched this and 2 things came to mind! #1 I really think that scenery is straight up gorgeous and then #2 was that I bet that damn Halibut tastes like heaven! Great work fellas!
look at all those seagulls wanting a hand out... Mine, mine mine :) hehe Caught on the fly!! that was a pretty good catch by that gull!!
HI I Just wanted TO Say I Love this Camera Angle WE Can See it all Clearly Thank s
Looks like your boats wheel has seen better days
🐟nice to see you fishing greetings from The Netherlands
I think the picture and sound on your equipment did just fine. My main concern is for you to be safe while making a decent living. Always a good day when you drop a new video, and especially a fishing video. I saw a video the other day where someone from Florida was catching sand fleas. I didn't watch it, so I don't know what she was going to do with them. There are just way to many Florida fishing videos to choose from so I skip quite a few. I do like watching The Galeforce Twins, and my other saltwater fishing favorite is from Cornwall GB, The Fishlocker. I don't miss any videos that you 3, and then a farmer/cattleman in South Dakota and a farmer/sheep operation in Ontario. I really look forward to new videos and feel like I really understand your values and ethics. Other than that I mostly search for cooking videos or how to videos. And documentaries!!
Thanks for the comment, Barbara! I love your range of video theme, we watching quite a variety of stuff on TH-cam as well. Surprisingly not many fishing videos, but farming, boat projects, some homesteaders, lots of how-to and tutorials. Definitely a great place to learn.
I now have a must-see off grid family in Arizona "Tiny Shiny Home" an off grid couple in Alaska, "Simple Living Alaska" I think with Eric and Ariel Illia. And a vegetable farm "Veggie Boys" in Pennsylvania, and "Smash Fishing" on the island of Guernsey in the English Channel. Sometimes it's hard to keep up with all of the new videos when I'm in the hospital. But I catch up when they bring me my tablet.
Really enjoy y’alls video’s.
Where your fishing must be a shark nursery area until they grow bigger and move out into deeper waters. Wish there was some kind of sandflea repellant out there . thanks for the office chair adventure guys.
My Dad Nick Nelson family was from around your area, Eyak and he also has a canoe in the museum there in Kodiak... so I do have some ties from family in your area... Tide n time wait for no one n fish like gink just like us lingit's Blessings
Dope video I want to try this job one day! Looks fun! 🤩
On my first and only fishing trip on the ocean for yellow tail tuna we got skunked also. On the way into the harbor I was also have throwing bait to seagulls and pelicans, pissed my husband off but I had so much fun.
I enjoyed the longer format, I may not have watched all of it but rather used in as wallpaper as I did something else but I did enjoy it thanks guys. Yeah thats fishing EH! Do you eat fish while you are out there I personally in your position would have a good feed of bycatch when ever I could :)
Lol Matt your a one man army putting the line out
Haha! The old reel - before we rebuilt it was like a strongman truck pull. The pillow blocks would "seize" mid set and grind to a halt. It was pretty sketchy.
I have this song my grandson sings, stuck in my head, thanks to this video. It’s called Baby Shark😳
Haha! Sorry about that...thankfully, I've never heard it.
@@EISAlaska there’s no toddlers around or you’d know the song. It’s one of those that gets stuck in your head for days 😳
Great shot at 24:35 of how good the bird line works. The birds were tempted but they didn't dive at the bait 😊
If those sharks were worth anything that trip would have made millions lol
Do you'll ever do crabbing,,?
I think y'all doing just fine and hopefully one day soon here I'll be able to purchase some of y'all fresh-caught halibut and cod my two favorite fish just hope you can get it to the Southeast Virginia without the fish thawing out
Hi James. Thank you. No problem getting fish to you in perfect shape. We ship all over the US, overnight and everything shows up frozen if delivered in 40 hours or less.
Good Job
Nice to see you fishing stay safe
This doesn't look like the new boat. Is it still under construction? Never worry about people hearing, you are working, we are sitting on our butts watching. But appreciate the thoughts.
Thanks, Kathleen! We are still working on the Emerald Isle, she won't be fishing this year like we were hoping. But we are pushing hard on projects to get her ready for next season.
New Camera? Great picture!
Great video! Thanks!
Too bad you don't have a use for all those sharks you caught. Keep up good work. Look forward to your next video.
Awesome
Would LOVE to share the gunnel with you gentleman sometime. I'm in FL. Let me know.
At least the sea gulls won!!
I know almost nothing of fishing really. But a question did arise. Why are you not aloud to set your lines out over night? I got why you don't haul in dark you don't have the lighting for it. Light flashing beacon's with GPS could assist in finding your strings. If you had the lighting could you fish at night?
We can soak overnight, but we prefer not to. The sand fleas are voracious and would gobble anything up in a "hot" zone; an area with increased flea activity. Hauling in the dark isn't bad but our lighting isn't the best - could use a couple more deck lights.
Good video!! I think I heard you say 12 gal for 7 hours of running. If so, that is great. Is that a Detroit Engine? How much Fuel does the Fishtale carry? Do the sharks have any predators or are they top of the food chain? Are they any good to eat?
Thanks türkey aieyküm selam :))
Do you have designated area to fish? So you do tangle with other fisherman's lines.
Thx for video!
You guys need bouncy trucker seats for a less crappy ride.
Heck we only could go 7 tops u of course we sually we went 5.8 or 6 on the Elisabeth a 36 food double ender lol by the time we got to port or a ankering all the others we just drifted alot we we were 40 to 60 out
👍👍👍👍👍
Is there a right way to drive into the waves? In other words, straight into the wave or approach them on an angle, etc?
Should the taff - rail be a little bit higher for your safety?
When did Matt start fishing?? At 2 yrs old!!!!
Could you guys describe in detail in a video; how you layer... from xtratuf boot liners, underwear, base layer mid layer outer layer, gloves pretty much every single thing you were wearing and what material and for what reason... I am trying to do some research on commercial fishing in Alaska.
I notice a lot of commercial fishermen wear cotton poly hoodies I thought cotton was a big no-no you know cotton kills or is it okay in this situation?
I also noticed a lot of grundens have a cotton canvassy material on the inside and I'm wondering how that feels...
Thx
Do you guys eat your catch when your out for a couple of days or more or just bring all your food with you.
We bring food, sometimes we'll eat a cod or rockfish for dinner.
Good job guys I wanna work with you
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Wonders if Matt is married my grand daughter is thinking about moving to Alaska after finishing college. She got lots of job offers there. LOL I bet Matt's wife or girl friend has a spy cam on him.
This is a weird comment
@@deanfulford69 No actually its not. Matt's got him a fan base (Male or Female) and if he's in a relationship; That special person should keep an eye on him. I've been on the net sin 1985. I had fan base and I didn't even know it until I had "Unexpected visitors. Than God they were friendly. I am a traditionalist; Matt's seems to be a family man. There are many many person's looking for traditional family male role models to be in relationships with. That's all I was jokingly saying. No offense to Matt. It was a joking compliment. I hope I didn't offend him. And to be honest my grand kids and great grand kids are really curious about Tristan because he's young he lives in Alaska and he works on the boat with his dad. I consider this whole family a role model of what has been lost. God Bless everyone.
Lol, no offence taken. I know you were joking. (hence the "LOL") Appreciate the comment and support as always!
Where is T 🤷🏻♂️
Have you ever eaten any of the fish you caught on the boat during a trip?
Usually most captains and crewmembers bring their own food on board the vessel but on the rare occasion they'll harvest their catch.
Yep we'll eat a cod or rockfish sometimes.
Matt and Len Good Try. What’s a bird line used for?
It stops the birds being able to swoop in and grab baited hooks as they go over the rail. The main part has shorter lines hanging from it forming a kind of curtain.
@@TheCaptainbeefylog Thanks for that explanation
Fish don't like wind
Why no bird line?
Bird line @22:59. We trailed the buoy and hooked the anchor on the rail, then deployed the bird line while we got in position.
Are there windshield wipers on the front windows?
Nope, no wipers. We just look past the water droplets. At an angle will ease the "buck" a bit.
Stoopid birds were bad mojo
Nervously watched this video, due to how low the starboard side of your boat is. Please be careful.
We had a slight STBD list, nothing to be too concerned about. It happens as we set gear, anchors, hooks, and bait leave the deck. Usually we'll offset it by swinging the boom or icing the catch with the offending side's ice.
Who’s driving the boat
How much fuel does your type of ship use per hour on the average ?
Ours a is John Deer 6414, we run in the range of 1.8-2 GPH at 1450 rpm and 7-7.5kt cruising.
I guess that’s pretty good for such a large ship. Enjoy watching your videos from Florida. Thanks
What’s the deal about sand fleas?
How much do you draw on that boat- FISH TALE
We draw around 3 feet. She's a pretty shallow boat.
Hey guys what do y’all do with the yellow eyes
We can hear
👍🤝🤝🤝👍
Hi my people. I want to going. Will you
Weirdo
I highly doubt your seaworthy at all because I can't imagine the likes of you lasting on a boat for a day 🤣
Hey guys what do sand fleas do to the fish
way cant you sell the yellow eye ?
Arktis fish is Best in the 🌎🌏🌍
Not fleas ...CRABS
Definitely sand fleas. The few pieces of bait that did come back were covered with them.
Tel my. Sometimes
Can you ship fish to Canada
Hi captain, not at the moment. But feel free to email us, sales@eisalaska.com and we'll add you to our list in the chance we get something set up.
IS Matt a Partner OR a 20% er
I like your fishing and you do a great job but I Cant stand the mess in the whell house the garbage can needs to be clean and make the bed. Iwill be ordering fish from you . please don't take what i said wrong. Captain Tim.
No worries! We were in a rush to beat the tide at Whale Pass, didn’t have time to tidy up. A short time later it was rocking and rolling, I did clean up after we were in calm waters. Thanks Captain Tim!
Are those dogfish you guys are catching mostly
You can eat doggies.
so far no fish
😊
