    Come to Alaska, we will show you how to really purse seine and roll 10,000 pound bags of salmon aboard!

    I see the dewatering box for the pump. Why are they brailing?

      Too close to land, they were inside 3 miles.

      Also, that was only an 8" pump, they were brailing just as fast if not faster. Great question 👍

    No fish pump?? OMG.. one set per day at that rate! 🙄

      They do have the pump too but select areas you cannot use it.

      These guys set 5 times a day sometimes!!

      Bunker taste horrible, quit wrecking the oceans food chain by taking all the baitfish out to make fertilizer, assholes

      @@skipman4735 bait fish is used as bait to catch YOUR seafood dinner and everyone else that loves crabs, lobster, and other common seafood.
      Knowledge is power. Stop being rude. They catch small amount for only 4 to 5 months a year. There are so many menhaden is the oceans, they can be a nuisance, just like people commenting on my family business video.
      Go waste your time somewhere else, troll.

    Where is there the 10 inch pump?

    • @saltygenes

      Didn't have it dialed in yet. Brailing hasn't failed yet, but this was 5 yrs ago!!

    2 crews wages plus the running cost of 2 boats and lots of fish falling outside of the net when scooped? How inefficient was that?

    • @saltygenes
      @saltygenes  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's not inefficient at all. The boat holds 160,000 lbs. So if it was almost full then they take what's needed and let the rest go.

    Purse seiners wrecked the herring fishery. That's why there's no canneries left on the east coast. Lobster fisherman are switching over to pig hide. Just came back from maine where I watched a seiner try to catch every bunker in a bay where I was striper fishing. Hopefully the new quotas will shut it down.

      You are wrong they use pogies and we can't haul them north fast enough! People around bath me alot have always used pogies cause I've hauled them. P trawling is big reason for herring .

    • @saltygenes

      There are so many pogies in the altantic, the boys up east may have pushed their fish out of the bay, but there aren't any shortages of striper. This was on of the best summers I've ever seen up there. This is in Cape May NJ, offshore, and not restrained to a bay. The amount of biodiversity and biomass of bait off the coast of NJ is mind-blowing. There are literally billion and million pound schools, cruising around that Noone catches on messes with. .27 cents a pound and they're aren't stopping the buying or catching process for your dumbass stripers.
