Sonar for trawling! The new Simrad SN90 is a forward looking multibeam sonar for trawlers. The SN90 transducer is fixed to the hull or bulb like a regular echosounderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transducer, only pointing forward. No hoist unit is needed making it a space saving installation. The sonar beams are pointing forward only in a 120 degree swath, taking the propeller noise out of the equation. A full vertical slice as well as three inspection split beams can be individually trained alongside the swath. The SN90 is a chirp broadband sonar transmitting and receiving between 70-110 kHz.

Shake, rattle and roll

t’s time to shake loose the lines, knock out the engine rattles until she’s set on a steady hum and roll out of the Lower 48. It may even feel past time, as summer came early to the West Coast and Alaska. Of course, some of us summer down south, but it’s still fun to imagine ourselves on the beach of a setnet camp or plucking blackcod of the line or even leisurely gunkholing in Southeast, occasionally calling out for the nearest tender. Yes, even with two little kids at home, I fnd myself daydreaming about life at sea, a little work, a little play. Isn’t that what we all want? But then I snap back to reality and remember JESSICA HATHAWAY that summer fshing doesn’t leave much time Editor in chief for play. The reality is, you have to get it while the gettin’s good, and you never know when the peak run will come or go. You just have to be there, on it, waiting. That’s what makes fshing so primal, so basic, so self-defning. You are there to kill fsh. The end. You can wax poetic about it, and I hope that you do. (Please feel free to send me the results.) But the siren song of the fshing life is in the basics. Modern gear, yes, perhaps. But when it comes right down to it, this is what we’ve been doing for millennia, and that’s why it feels so good. It’s in your DNA. Don’t fght it. Just get out there and kill it. Whether you’re making your way from Seattle to Seldovia or steaming out from home this summer, I wish you safe passage and full holds.

recent study by Oregon State University and NMFS’s Northwest Fisheries Science Center reveals areas of low-oxygen conditions spreading closer to shore of Washington and California. The oxygen depletion could redistribute fsh in ways that would afect commercial harvesters. The lower the oxygen levels, the more efort fshing boats will have to make to fnd fsh, the report notes. According to the paper’s lead author, science center biologist Aimee Keller, fsh species sensitive to oxygen levels may be pushed into less desirable habitat, where they would grow more slowly. The report, published in the journal Fisheries Oceanography, studied how varying degrees of oxygen afect four species — spotted ratfsh, petrale sole, greenstriped rockfsh and Dover sole. Spotted ratfsh and petrale sole were the most sensitive to changing oxygen levels; the lower the level, the more their presence decreased sharply.

Trident’s new Naknek plant cuts down fsh waste, odor

rident Seafoods’ new $15 million Naknek, Alaska, fshmeal plant is designed to be environmentally friendly and odor free. Trident agreed to build the plant as part of a 2011 settlement with the Environmental Protection Agency over alleged Clean Water Act violations involving unauthorized discharge of fsh waste. The design incorporates a quartermile length of tubing that transports all fsh waste leftover from flleting or canning from Trident’s processing plant to the fshmeal facility. The Naknek plant also features a new air-fltration system designed to reduce the smell of drying fsh waste. A threestory metal tube with ducting that winds throughout the facility sucks in air from below to capture those odors. The air is pushed through thousands of scrubbers that resemble whife balls; water is sprayed down as the air rises and the odor molecules stick to the water, eliminating most of the smell before it can leave the plant.

TOGIAK ‘A New Page in Herring History’

By BOB KING

ishermen will probably remember the 1988 Togiak herring fshery as it appeared in a letter found in a bottle that washed up on Oosik Spit a few days after the season was over. Inside the Seagram’s bottle, retrieved by ADF&G biologists, was a water- and whiskey-stained note that read, “Dean Anderson, F/V Susan Gale, 1988, One set — 800 tons plus.” The number 800 was scratched out to read “850 tons plus.” It was the big set every fsherman has dreamed about. It was so big that rumors

abounded that the set had to be illegal, but Protection ofcers hovering above Tongue Point in a helicopter watched every minute as the net was pursed up. One ofcer later said it appeared that Anderson’s crew had some difculty in closing the seine, but instead of emptying out, the herring continued to fll the net. It took several companies several days to pump Anderson’s huge set. The fnal tally came to 660 tons, not quite up to the rumor mill’s expectations, but still well above the previous record single set of 427 tons. Not everybody was so lucky. With

just one brief opening, one half hour for seiners and four hours for gillnetters, some fshermen delivered a load of bait fsh. Others went home from Togiak empty-handed. Overall, the 239 seiners that took part in this year’s Togiak herring fshery landed 10,209 tons of herring with an average roe recovery of 11 percent. The 300 gillnetters fnished up with 3,416 tons of fsh averaging 8.3 percent. Prices averaged $1,000 per ton for

alaskacargo.com 10-percent fsh. The total harvest of 13,625 tons was not a record, but it was the fastest pace ever for the Togiak fshery. The catch rate of 2.56 tons per hour for the gillnet feet was well above the previous best of 1.7 tons per hour. For the seiners, the catch rate was 90 tons per hour, also a record. It was a pace that sank at least one gillnet skif, plugged the processing capacity and, ironically, left thousands of tons of herring unharvested. The herring started moving into the Togiak grounds during the second week of May and started to build rapidly. Fish and Game estimates that the peak biomass, on May 16, was 132,260 tons of herring. Given the Togiak management plan allowing for a 20-percent exploitation rate, that could have allowed a catch of about 23,000 tons. The biomass, however, was two and a half times what was predicted — much more than processors had geared up for. “We [the processing industry] came into the season thinking we’d take 8,900 tons [combined],” Trident Seafoods’ Chuck Bundurant said. “We took that in the frst 30-minute opening.” It turned out to be the only opening. Following that frantic period, processors choppered to Fish and Game’s Summit Island Camp asking that the fshery not be reopened until their processing lines could catch up. By the time signifcant processing capacity was again available, most of the herring had spawned and left. There were some tenders available shortly after the opening, however, and some processors were angry that Fish and Game didn’t give them some fsh with another brief opening. At the time, biologists were more concerned about the frepower of the feet. According to fshery manager Jef Skrade, there was less than 1,500 tons of tendering capacity on the grounds on May 18. Biologists were afraid of massive waste if the seiners soaked up another 10,000 tons. “How do you manage a fshery with that kind of feet and with that kind of processing capacity on the table?” Skrade wondered.

FEATURES / FROM Fish and Game, meanwhile, is still trying to explain why so many herring returned this year. The run was composed mostly of older fsh, just as predicted, but there were more than twice as many of them as expected. Fish and Game’s Wes Bucher, who will assume management of the fshery next season, suspects the herring have always been there but just haven’t been seen. “What you see is relative to how much you fy,” Bucher said. Fish and Game’s helicopter was stationed on the grounds this year and was able to fy more surveys and respond to more reports of sightings than in past years. That’s especially important, Bucher added, because the herring aren’t always visible for very long. The bulk of this year’s biomass was in one massive school of herring that stretched from Togiak Bay to Cape Newenham. The school, spotted on the evening of the 16th, was visible in its entirety on just one tide. That school of fsh continues to puzzle biologists. Those thousands of tons

of herring were obviously Togiak fsh of the same age composition, but they were headed west. Tens of thousands of tons were headed around Cape Newenham but never showed up at Security Cove or anywhere else along the coast. Jef Skrade suspects a good part of the Togiak run is composed of subtidal spawners that haven’t been documented in years. He suspects that they could have been headed to a large shallow bank of Security Cove and Goodnews Bay. Wherever they were going, it couldn’t have been far. The fsh were so ripe, Skrade estimates they probably could have spawned within 24 hours. The surprisingly large biomass is a mixed blessing. There was enough herring to calm fears that there might not be a fshery next year. Still, there aren’t any young fsh returning. Likewise, biologists don’t know how they can manage stocks of fsh that may be visible only in some years. As Bucher put it, “The noise that throws into your management plan is horrendous.” Skrade agreed, adding: “The lack of pressure [on these stocks] is a built-in safety factor protecting the resource. If you’re real bullish and go out and over-exploit these herring, you’re going to have a few banner years and then nothing.” The thousands of tons of fsh that weren’t exploited this year remain a sore spot with some fshermen and processors. They blame Fish and Game’s incorrect return projections for the lack of processing capacity. Biologists, however, say that’s just a problem inherent in forecasting. Before the season, they said publicly that they felt the estimate was conservative, even noting that their

Source: ADF&G

projection was a “minimal estimate — use with extreme caution.” The continued strength of the older fsh is giving biologists a better understanding of the herring’s life cycle. In the past, Fish and Game has admitted that they knew little about the mortality rate of older herring. It was believed that after age 10 the herring started to die of rapidly. This year, however, there were signifcant returns of fsh aged 11 and older. As Fish and Game’s Ken Florey put it, “We’re turning over a new page in herring history.”

‘Response’ catches fre off Kodiak ‘Our feet were burnt to the deck’ By JOHN VAN AMERONGEN

t was around noon. We were heading in from doing Pacifc cod in the Bering Sea, headed for Kodiak to pick up parts and some other things we had fown in there.” Skipper Kelly Marriot was at the helm of the 130-foot factory longliner Response May 13, when an alarm went of, signaling a problem in the engine room. Fortunately, the crew of 14 was up and busy, many of them working on deck. Others were in the galley tying gangions. According to Marriot, “when a deckhand opened up the door to check it, he saw fames and fre in the engine room.” The blaze was already so intense, Marriot said, that the crewman was unable to determine exactly what was burning. “I’d just done a walkthrough 45 minutes prior to the fre breaking out, and I didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary. “I ran down [to the deck],” Marriot said, “and by that time there were fames billowing out the fddley [the open trunk housing the engine smokestacks].” He scrambled back to the pilothouse to call a mayday. The fre was already spreading. “It was amazing. I don’t know what caused it, but I’m glad I didn’t delay getting the mayday of,” Marriot recalled. “I didn’t take time to try to assess the damage. As soon as I saw the

fre, I ran upstairs, and I was on the radio right away. “I was trying to stay in contact with the Coast Guard and direct the guys. They went to their stations and started rolling out fre hose. About that time we lost steering; then we lost all power.” With the pumps inoperable and no fxed fre extinguishing system in the engine room, the crew was forced to

do what they could with handheld extinguishers — some Halon — but mostly dry chemical and CO2. In no time, Marriot recalled, the fre burned through the solid wood door to the engineer’s stateroom and entered the living quarters. “It was already all full of smoke and the fre was spreading and growing fast. The fre extinguishers would extinguish the fames, but then they would

reignite immediately. “We did everything we could to fght the dang thing, but without any power and without a fre hose, you can’t do anything,” he said. A nine-year veteran of the Alaska fsheries, Marriot had taken several safety and survival training courses, including the one-day fre-fghting school ofered by North Pacifc Fishing Vessel Owners’ Association. While the short course gave him an appreciation for what a handheld extinguisher could do to a pool of burning oil, Marriot noted that a full-blown boat fre with so much heat behind it is a diferent animal. “Those training courses are good, and I recommend that everybody take them,” Marriot said. “They stress the problems of heat and smoke, but you don’t get the real grasp of it until you’re in it. I couldn’t see my hand in front of my face when I was talking to the Coast Guard. I couldn’t even see out of the window. It was so hot and smoky I fnally had to tell ’em I was getting out of there. I was gagging and coughing as it was.” At the training session, he noted, “you can walk the fames right back and take control immediately.” “This fre was so hot you’d open up the engine room door and it burns your beard. It was really hot. I kept thinking I was going to catch on fre when I went back [into the pilothouse], trying to do the things I needed to do, getting the safety equipment out. But I was just doing that by memory and feel, and the fames were already coming through the stateroom. It broke the window out and started attacking you like in the movie ‘Backdraft.’ It was wild, the speed with which it was able to spread is a frightening thing — something you don’t really think about.” Fueled by the vessel’s foam insulation, wooden interior and fber packing material, the fre belched thick black smoke that could be seen for miles. The Coast Guard helicopters had no trouble fnding the vessel, but aboard the Response, the toxic smoke presented other dangers to the crew. “It takes all the air right out of you,” Marriot said of the fumes from the burning urethane insulation. “You

can be hostile. Hazards abound. Disaster and risk of injury are never far away.

By that time, “The boat was really hot,” Marriot recalled. “Flames had begun to move forward on the gear deck, back through the staterooms and gear locker, and up through the wheelhouse. We couldn’t breathe, and we had everyone put their suits on. I fg-

But then we got a break in the smoke, and I didn’t want anyone to jump. If at all possible I wanted to keep them on the boat. I didn’t want any broken legs, so I was trying to keep them on the bow as long as I could.” As the crew took refuge on the bow,

“We couldn’t fnd any air to breathe so we launched the survival raft…” the small choppers took turns hoisting them out of the blinding smoke that frequently obscured the vessel and aircraft altogether. Normally used for fsheries patrol, the smaller H-65s could take only three survivors at a time. Fortunately, the burning vessel was just ofshore of Chiniak, and the helos had a only short trip to ferry the 14 crewmen to the beach. The last three aboard were Marriot, his deck boss and the ship’s engineer. Together they managed to set the vessel’s anchor manually, preventing the ship from drifting onto the rocks. Forty-fve minutes after the frst chopper arrived, the fnal three crewmen were hoisted to safety. “At the time, it didn’t seem that bad,” Marriot said of the emotional scene aboard the vessel. “Overall, it was real cool. My frst mate would try to get direction from me, and he’d go and keep the crew busy carrying out all the fre fghting stuf. We’d practiced and they did the job real well. Some guys got caught in the smoke, but they were able to get out and keep together.” The real weight of the drama didn’t begin to hit Marriot until he was in the rescue basket. “When they lifted me up, I looked back at the boat and I couldn’t believe I was still on that thing. Our feet were burnt to the deck, but it didn’t really set in until I was in Anchorage when I read it in the newspaper the next day.” Marriot’s advice to the feet: ‘’Take safety meetings seriously. They do a lot more good than people realize. Make sure everybody knows where the fre fghting equipment is and how to operate it. Try on the breathing apparatus, pull the fre hose out and turn it on, know where the fre axes are and how to turn the pumps on. And keep your life raft up to date.” Despite the power loss aboard the Response, Marriot said the drills aboard the vessel paid of and everyone knew

where to go for an extinguisher. “Just keep running those drills,” he said. “I’m an avid believer in running them day and night. When they’re sleeping, when I’m running, I believe in springing drills on ’em. “You never know,” he cautioned. “For us it was broad daylight, the middle of the afternoon and we were real close to Kodiak. But we were really fortunate. Last week we were 500 miles away and it was blowing 40. You never know. You can’t prepare too much. The more knowledgeable each crewman is, the safer everybody is.” After choking on smoke in the pilothouse, trying to keep in touch with the rescue choppers, one thing Marriot won’t leave home again is his personal handheld VHF. “I was uncomfortable the minute I stepped on the boat without it,” Marriot said. “I usually have one with me or with my suit. I think they should have to have them.” Three crewmen were treated in Kodiak for burns and smoke inhalation. The fre was eventually extinguished

by crews from the Coast Guard cutter Firebush. The F/V Response, owned by Alaska Shore Fisheries Inc., of Olympia, Wash., was declared a total loss, towed ofshore and scuttled. Others rescued from the burning vessel in-

cluded John Bristor, Ben Nelson, Scott Ryals, Norman Saquibal, Darin Hansen, Rod Hamm, Dennis Matzur, John Durbin, Michael Davis, Stan Allison, Ricky Joe Blinson, John Cunningham, and James Stedman.

A Grandmother

Saves THE DAY by LONNIE HAUGHTON

H. Marks IllustratIon

ou can’t judge a book by its cover. The same principle applies to people. I once had a young strapping hulk of a deckhand who started whining on day two of a do-nothing troll trip. Conversely, I later had a lovely feminine mate who got tougher as the seas built higher during a halibut derby. (I married her.) This is a similar story of bravery and strength from an unexpected source in the aftermath of a huge storm. Late August, four or fve years ago, Maribeth and I had anchored China Cove with several other trollers waiting behind Icy Point to restart fshing after a 10-day closure. With the majestic Fairweather range looming above us, we enjoyed the windless beautiful “wild strawberry” weather that is locally common that time of the year. Only the abundance of brown bears kept us from the tempting berry patches near the beach. It was one of those perfect days that make fshermen realize how lucky we are to have escaped the “wage slave” rut. The calm both inside and outside the harbor was disturbed only by a mid-day VHF weather prediction of strong southwest winds. As soon as the forecast was announced one fsherman pulled his anchor and headed south towards more secure harbors. I thought his haste seemed a little premature. True, this was not a great harbor for SW winds and the ocean was no longer exactly fat, but 20 years PILOTHOUSE GUIDE / JULY 2015

of fshing has taught me that weathermen are only right 60 percent of the time. Few fshermen can aford to believe a government meteorologist unthinkingly. I decided to take an afternoon nap while pondering the problem. I awoke to freshening winds and an almost empty anchorage; all but one of the other boats were gone. That skipper was out on the bow winching up his anchor. These guys had a lot more experience up here than I had, but still their caution seemed a little excessive. That is, until I turned on the SSB and listened to Peggy Dyson announce the REVISED forecast for Dixon Entrance to Cape Fairweather: Storm Warning, Storm Warnings — Southwest winds to 50 knots with seas to 30 feet and an outlook of SW 45 knots! That got my attention. Even I was smart enough to know that the “lee” behind Icy Point was no place to be caught in a SW storm. Within minutes we were charging south towards better shelter. At nightfall the ever-stifening winds we were bucking into had convinced me that the closest bay, Dixon Harbor, would be an adequate anchorage. We got the anchor set, payed out lots of anchorline scope, and settled in for the night. I felt as snug as the proverbial bug in a rug. Let the storm blow. And by God the storm blew. For the next few days SW winds to 65 knots wreaked havoc along the coast. It became obvious that Dixon Harbor was not an ideal harbor for such weather. Storm gusts alternating from several directions of the surrounding mountains provided extreme stress on anchor gear. But while the other boats near us seemed to have problems with dragging anchors, I slept smugly. I have always had pride in my ability to get my anchor set properly. Anchored in less than 10 fathoms of water, I had payed out 18 fathoms of chain and 65 fathoms of braided nylon; no boat in the bay had more scope than China Cove. Until this monster storm subsided there was nothing to do but sleep, eat and read books — my three favorite pastimes,

the other hand, seemed like Maribeth, a quiet woman who kept on working while her husband swapped stories. The winds in Dixon Harbor were very odd — varying by the minute from fat calm to “smoking” storm gusts from almost all directions of the compass. The Diedre was one of the several boats that had problems of dragging anchor. On day two of the blow I watched Stan pull and re-set his “pick” several times. As I awoke from a mid-afternoon nap I was surprised to hear the VHF boom with a call to us from the Diedre. After we switched over to a working frequency, Stan explained they had minor engine problems. The trouble did not seem serious but difculties would arise if the “Jimmy” failed to re-start when the anchor slid again. We were the only familiar fshermen in the harbor; did we mind standing by on the VHF in case they needed assistance? I assured Stan that we had VHF-16 turned on all day and would readily ofer help if needed. (I must admit that inwardly I was still smug that our anchor had not budged from where I had set it.) By the time Stan and I had swapped some idle chitchat I was ready for another nap. I sure was pleased that the only problem on China Cove was deciding what to have for dinner. About dinnertime we got another call from Stan. Al-

We were anchored by our propeller and drifting around as winds gusted to 40 knots. though friends claim that I most enjoy chatting on the VHF and CB radios. Even if that were true I hardly knew anyone to call. These weren’t my usual fshing grounds down near Noyes Island or Ketchikan. Almost all of the fshermen on the nearby boats were total strangers. Except for Stan and Deanna on the Diedre, whom we had once met on the dock in Craig. Nice people, there was nothing too fancy about them or their boat; they were just a practical, hardworking, fsh-catching couple in their 50s. I had never talked with them via the radios, but we had listened to Stan’s unique voice for hours. Except for his willingness to talk, Stan seemed to be my opposite, a “jack-of-all-trades” kind of a guy who could build or fx anything. Deanna, on JULY 2015 / PILOTHOUSE GUIDE

though the winds seemed to have somewhat moderated, Diedre was dragging anchor again; they had decided to leave Dixon Harbor and fght their way down to Murphy Cove where they could dock the boat alongside the buying scow Wancho. Stan heartily thanked us for our help, though all that we had done was listen to the VHF radio — which I would have done anyway. As nightfall approached a couple hours later, I heard on the VHF that Stan and Deanna had safely reached the scow. I am sure that the trip to Murphy Cove had been a nasty experience. Not a voyage I would have willingly made. Despite the gusty winds, we were snug and secure. My only plans until the storm eventually passed involved more sleep, more food and more trash novels. The poet Robert Burns wrote “The best laid schemes o’ mice and men gang aft a-gley.” I am not exactly sure what that Scottish “gang aft a-gley” means, but I’ll bet it describes what happened to us the next day. All seemed well when I awoke from my mid-morning nap. As I lay in the fo’c’sle bunk I could hear the reassuring periodic snap of the nylon anchor line tightening as wind gusts re-emerged from yet another direction. Let it blow — I had enough scope paid out to handle anything this storm could ofer. Maribeth was up at the galley oven, baking an afternoon treat; perhaps it was time to roll over and get an early start on my late-morning nap. Maribeth called down to ask if it was okay to start the engine to refll the stove’s oil tank. Sure, why not? As the engine throbbed I lay there pondering the day’s priorities — should I skip the next nap in favor of an extra snack? Suddenly, with a note of alarm, Maribeth informed me that we seemed to be drifting towards the beach. I jumped from the bunk. Within seconds I moved from semicomatose daydreaming to near panic. Not only was China Cove dragging anchor into shore, but the boat was BACKWARDS in the process; our stern was pointed into the wind. What the hell was going on? I ran to the bow. Instead of leading towards the anchor, the nylon line disappeared under the boat. I ran to the stern. Sure enough, line from the anchor lead directly to the prop. We were anchored by our propeller and drifting around as winds gusted to 40 knots. How could this have happened? I ran to the VHF to call for help. Nearby were Dick and Celen on the Angelique who had just entered Dixon Harbor. (Where could they have come from in this weather?) Dick promised to stand by while I attacked the problem. Our rate of drift had slowed dramatically as the anchor found some good holding ground, so, priority number one was to relieve the pressure on the prop before the stresses from some gust of wind caused major damage to the shaft and bearings. What if the prop was ripped completely of ? What I needed to do frst was simple: use a pikepole to grab the line stretching underwater from the prop to the anchor, pull the line up out of the water and then pull enough slack to wrap the line on a nearby cleat thus removing tension from the propeller. Easier said than done; especially in sporadic gale-force gusts.

PILOTHOUSE GUIDE / JULY 2015

16_21_PHG_FEAT_GrandmotherSaves_LINO.indd 18

5/7/15 10:58 AM

What’s Under Your Raingear? With all my strength I could lift the line up out of the water, but against the wind we absolutely could not pull enough slack to attach the line to the cleat. With muscles straining and tears rolling from my eyes, time after time I attempted the feat. Every efort by both Maribeth and I led to painful defeat. I slunk to the radio to report this to Dick. Dick responded by ofering the services of his son Mike, who promptly motored over in an infatable. With Mike’s help we were able eventually to pull enough slack to move the line to the cleat. Now what? Even though the pressure had been removed, I still had double-braided nylon line strangling the propeller. For over an hour we wrestled with the problem using every trick that fshermen had ever taught me for such a situation. All attempts met with failure. While waiting for fresh inspiration, I cut free the sections of line leading to the prop both from the cleat and from the anchor winch. With a little more knifework and a clumsy square knot, I reattached the line leading from the anchor to the cleat directly to the line coming from the winch. I now had the anchor cleanly connected again to the anchor winch. Of course that did not solve the main problem. In our hands still remained the two ends of the piece of nylon that choked our prop. What next? After careful consideration it seemed that the wisest course was to move China Cove down to Murphy Cove where we could moor alongside the Wancho. Perhaps a diver was available there. I cut the lines wrapping the prop as short as I could, let the ends go, and then winched the anchor aboard. Dick stood by with the Angelique as we experimented to learn if China Cove could travel under her own power or would require a tow. We quickly discovered the good news and the bad news. Yes, the prop turned freely when engaged, but loud rumbling vibrations emanated from the stern at all but the lowest speeds. Under escort by the Angelique, we would have to idle down to Murphy Cove.

The answer was as simple as ABC: (a) The Capitol reduction gear installed on China Cove had Capitol’s well-known tendency to “creep” when the engine was running. (b) Maribeth started up the engine just as wind gusts slammed us from the OPPOSITE DIRECTION of the previous gusts. (c) Thus, the prop was creeping while the boat surged back across the foating portion of the 65 fathoms of nylon anchor scope that I had been so smug about. Okay, that explained what had gone wrong, but what should I do to right the situation? With the Angelique standing guard we wallowed and thumped to the safety of Murphy Cove in Graves Harbor. I was happy to see Ernie’s scow Wancho; Ernie would surely be able to ofer aid for my predicament. I had realized during my three years running a tender that fshermen expected fsh buyers to be miracle workers. Now it was my turn to dump my troubles onto a buyer. The Wancho was a huge scow; even with four other trollers, including the Diedre, tied alongside there was still plenty of space for us to dock. All of our problems would soon be solved. Ernie, Stan and Deanna came out to ofer willing hands to grab tie-up lines, and willing ears as I told our tale of woe. Ernie ofered his sympathy but, unfortunately, no easy solutions. Ernie was not a diver. A quick check of the guys on the other trollers showed that they were not divers. I am not a diver. In fact, except for hot showers, I hate water — I would not dive down to any prop, even mine, for less than a million dollars. We were not able to ofer that kind of money, but I did loudly suggest that I would happily pay to anyone $300 just to cut my propeller free. No one came forward. I could not blame them; diving conditions were not exactly perfect. While the sea surface in the Cove was fat, a rhythmic underwater “surge” was causing the boats to jerk wildly against their lines. Even the massive scow was not steady. To raise the prop closer to the surface I had pumped out China Cove’s aft slush tank; now the boat’s lightened stern was sometimes surging up over two feet out of the water. How was I going to talk someone into diving under that? Was I going to be stuck here until I paid a professional diver to fy out from Juneau? While I brooded over my options, I watched one of my spring lines shred into pieces from the strain. I felt trapped in a never-ending nightmare. How could a day that had started so peacefully end up so wrong? What should I do? Depending on the surge, the prop was only 3 to 5 feet underwater, but it might as well have been a mile. Since no miracle workers were aboard the Wancho it seemed my only hope lay in far-of Juneau or Pelican. Would a tender have to tow us all the way to Sitka just to locate a diver? Just then, while self-pity fowed through my veins, Stan walked over with a surprising announcement, “Deanna says that she will dive for you.” Deanna? A quiet, unassuming 50-ish grandmother of two was willing to swim under my surging boat in a murky 54-degree sea? Stan replied, “Oh, she has always loved to

dive. I have a hard time keeping her out of the water. I’m getting her a wet suit for Christmas.” Stan continued, “Deanna wants to help you because she is so thankful for all the assistance you gave us while we were having our troubles back in Dixon Harbor.” What?? What assistance? All I did was listen to the VHF radio, which was my normal practice anyway. No matter, Deanna had been very reassured to know that we had been nearby. Now she had a chance to pay back the favor. All this left me in a daze. But I was not so dazed that I didn’t quickly accept her ofer. How could we help? Did she need anything? Did she want to use one of my survival suits with some lead weights attached? No, wearing a T-shirt and jeans and with a knife tied loosely to her wrist she was ready to go. Attempting to slow the bucking motions of the surging China Cove, I further tightened the tie-up lines and hooked up extra lines for us men to pull on. With six younger, macho Alaska fshermen standing by, Deanna bravely climbed down into the water. She sank into the murk while the surge was destroying another spring line. I attached another line while we all stared at the water where she had disappeared. Clutching her knife, up she came to catch her breath, then she dove again. We men pulled on our lines in a mostly

futile efort to calm the boat. Up she came again for air, with pieces of nylon line foating around her. She dove again. The boat surged, ripping out one of the Wancho’s mooring rings. Deanna appeared again for air, holding a six-foot piece of nylon. Down she dove again. We men stood by. Soon she was back holding another small piece of the nylon line. After six dives she was done. Treading water, she sputtered to me, “This is all that was in the propeller. I’m sorry, but I accidentally ripped of a copper wire attached to a zinc. Shall I go back down to fx it?” No, no, I urged her to forget the unimportant wire and come up out of the water. Strong male arms helped her climb back onto the scow. She was racked with shivering as she stumbled of for dry clothes. Later, once she was warm again, I went over to the Diedre to ofer my profuse thanks. I suggested that we would be happy to buy her a diving suit or equipment. She declined, saying that she was just pleased to be able to repay us for all that we had done the previous day. As far as I was concerned she was a hero. The next day the seas were relatively calm, the cohos were biting, and all was well with China Cove. I vowed to send Deanna a large bunch of roses that winter. I am ashamed to confess that somehow I never did. Stan did buy her a wet suit for Christmas. Thanks again, Deanna.

hand during the salmon season. We spent the frst day getting reacquainted with a fshing vessel. It was Leslie’s boat; she’d owned and operated it with her Kodiak salmon seine permit for four years before maternity retirement recharted her career goals. I’d fshed salmon on a seiner, but I’d

It seemed a miracle, but in three days we’d gotten the boat in shape and had half the snap-on gear baited to go out in tubs (a new phenomenon in Kodiak’s mosquito feet). The weather had been unusually sunny and our apprehensions faded in the balmy, calm weather. We went home that night feeling pretty good. The plan was to fnish the tubs by noon the next day and leave town with 24 hours to spare before the opening. But something very bad happened that night. My youngest son woke at about 4 a.m.; I lay in bed a minute hoping he would just fall back to sleep. While I waited, I heard whipping against the window, the all-too-familiar whipping of rain ushered sideways against the pane. Outside, the tall spruce trees moaned in the gale. Inside, I moaned under my covers. My son went back to sleep. I did not. Anyone who’s fshed halibut knows that sinking feeling. If you hadn’t committed yourself fnancially, and if others

were not dependent on your participation, you’d back out of the venture when the weather turned rotten on you. But despite the howling wind and rain that morning, I got my kids packed for their three-day stay with the sitter. I hugged them for what I hoped would not be the last time, and set out for the boat. I was the frst to arrive and though my heart was not in it, I immediately began baiting tubs. That was not a chore to have to fnish when underway in this weather. Leslie and Joe arrived soon after, and we barely spoke to each other. We all wanted to throw in the towel, but knew we had to go on. Unbelievably, the wind picked up and by mid-afternoon, it screamed through the masts of the feet at 50 knots. We weren’t going anywhere that day. The forecast said the wind would come down to 20 by morning. We would leave at dawn. We secured the deck for some wild seas and left the boat. Leslie stayed at my house, closer to

town. After dinner, we called for the updated marine weather fore-cast. I watched Leslie’s face pale as she clutched the phone. Following a morning calm, the forecast was for NE 40 with an outlook of SW 35. There was nowhere to hide! Our plan had been to fsh the Shelikof side if it blew easterly, and Hog Island or even Williams Reef if it blew westerly. But we were too rusty and the boat too untested to chance fshing in those exposed waters during a gale blow. The buoy howled ominously of Spruce Cape as we searched the chart for every protected nook and cranny within reach. With only six hours traveling time before the noon gun was fred, our choices were few. Finally, it was whittled to…Uganik Bay. What?! Fishing halibut where salmon practically spawn! But hey, the bottom line was we wanted to return home to our kids. Hopefully, wherever they were on the grounds, our husbands would too.

We got up at fve and met Joe on the boat shortly thereafter. It was still dark and there was a surprisingly large remnant of the feet still tied up. The boats creaked gently in their slips. The wind had subsided. We started the engine.Within moments cabin lights fickered on, crews scurried on deck, and, like us, jumped to the dock to let loose the lines. The harbor emptied as the procession of hopeful vessels streamed through the channel into the sunrise. As we neared Spruce Cape, the seas came at us from the

northeast. Big 20-footers. The three of us stood on the bridge holding on as we bucked over the crests and plunged into the troughs. We were glad of only two things: we had not skimped on safety gear, and we knew this would be the nastiest part of the trip. As we rounded the cape, the procession of vessels separated. The stoutest kept northeast heading into halibut country on Port lock Banks. We turned westward toward Whale Pass. The ride improved as we had hoped, and by the time we were inside Uganik, it was so fat we wondered whether we should have stayed outside. But it was noon and the forecast had promised a very big blow. As I said, I’d fshed halibut openings on big longline vessels. But I was just along for the opening and did what I was told. Generally, that meant moving tubs to the stern and, later, cleaning a lot of fsh. This time I was deck boss and, at the risk of being laughed out of this trade journal, I will confess a sloppy operation. Joe got a broom handle and a knife and poised ready to act quickly if stray hooks threatened to carry over too much gear. Leslie had to steer from the bridge while I ran in and out of the cabin and yelled fathom depths. We used landmarks instead of loran readings to note the location of our strings. “Anchor over,” I hollered from the stern and we were of. The gear was set at a less-than-frantic pace. But despite our laid-back approach, we all looked anxiously over the side

id-July with the lines loaded, 16-year-old Ben Seaman wrestled a red rubber dinghy from the roof of the Oaxaca, his parents’ 36-foot troller, and splashed it over the side into Cross Sound. The other boats on the drag assumed he was chasing an escaped foatbag. The other boats on the drag watched Ben row farther and farther along the shore with the last of the food. He disappeared around the clifs of Middle Pass on a two-mile row to the dock. After two weeks on little sleep and a diet of candy bars and soda, Ben had winged a fasher that smacked his mom. A tif ensued. The skipper ordered Ben to “go to bed,” and Ben responded with a phrase that shouldn’t be shouted at one’s parents, then jumped ship. Blow-ups on fshing boats are regular enough. The added demands and confict of the parent-child relationship aboard can fuse new emotional freworks. Ben shook his head when he related the story. “He told me to go to bed, like I was a little kid.” In the Southeast Alaska troll industry where families often fsh together, children learn marine biology, meteorology and anatomy from their daily environment and lessons in social dynamics from their family. They work hard, assume responsibility and experience the family economy frst hand. Meanwhile, teenage crew must treat their parent with respect demanded by a captain, and the skipper/parent must learn not to abuse the captain’s role. In interviews with 16 children who

work with their parents in the troll industry of Cross Sound, I asked how they managed to survive with their parents on a working boat. They told me about their jobs, their parents, their sea adventures and what excites them aboard. Fish, sea mammals, birds, ocean currents, wind, cloud patterns and fsh anatomy constitute a trolling child’s daily activities. My eight- and fouryear-old sons, Taiga and Ryland, have watched killer whales hunt seals, and touched an 11-foot long giant squid. Cal Craig, aged six, raves about one halibut

haul last spring. “I caught a bomber [non-salmon fsh] so big it could have ate me,” Cal said. “It was a snapper and snappers are red. Then we got one guy [a halibut] as big as half of me on top of my dad!” Sixteen-year-old Ashleigh Crockett, who cleans fsh on her father’s boat, relates salmon eviscerating to her biology class in school. Ross Smith, 11, likes to watch sea lions, or at least his father’s reaction when a sea lion takes a bite out of one of their fsh. Ross says, “Papa gets really mad when that happens.” Jason Carter has fshed most of his 17 summers with his father aboard the 40-foot Relief or 48-foot Avalon. He

“We had to learn to be a team. I hauled the line. He ran the outboard. It gave him responsibility and confdence.” fsh. “That’s the fun part. All the rest is the work part.” Shawn Hughes, a 14-year-old who fshes a 17-foot hand troller with his dad, assures me that “for me to fsh successfully would involve sleep.” Handtrolling a 10-hour day and returning home to ice fsh at the family run fsh-buying scow at night leaves little time for that precious commodity. Many of the interviewees groaned about the long hours. Elizabeth says the sound of cannonballs hitting the deck, which meant they were headed home, will still wake her from a dead sleep. “I don’t remember the fshing part,” she says. “The same stuf happens every day. I remember the going in.” LeeAnn Angelo fshed out of Elfn Cove from age 10 to 15. She recalls, “Before teenagerhood it wasn’t bad. But after that I couldn’t wait to get in. Uncle Roy couldn’t imagine that when I was so tired on the boat I would come in and want to play volleyball.” Kids working on boats hold a variety of jobs. Most start with hosing the deck, rinsing the fsh, moving fsh to the slush tank, and taking care of the eggs. They graduate to cleaning fsh and fnally pulling gear. Fifteen-year-old deckhand Omen learned jobs in a natural progression according to his size, his father says. “As Omen could see out of the cockpit he spent more time in it. As he could reach

out and unclip lines, he did that.” At four, my son Taiga ran the hose and moved fsh. At seven, he cranked the 20-pound leads on my handtroller. Now that he’s eight, he can run hydraulic gear like a pro and clean a pink salmon in less than a minute.

loves fshing and the ocean. “I’m out there by myself,” Jason says. “It’s peaceful, untamed. An undomesticated world. Something people haven’t messed up too much.” Taiga agrees that he’s lucky to see this environment. “I get to see things that other kids have never seen before, like whales.” Another 17-year-old who grew up on boats, Elizabeth Piedra, reminds us of the danger inherent in fshing. Even as a young child, she could tell from her dad’s voice whether she could ignore him or had to jump to obey. “It’s a lot more dangerous than being in a two-story suburb,” she says. “I always paid attention, even when I was causing trouble.” The danger, long hours, and fnancial pressure aboard commercial fshing boats breed tension. Ross understates the dynamics on the Njord. “Papa is a bit more tense when Mom’s driving the boat. I think he trusts her, but when we’re in an area that has a lot of bumps and pinnacles, he gets a little tense.” Taiga bemoans his grumpy skippers who yell when they talk to him and don’t have time to do anything fun. Cal says that aboard the Fool’s Gold, his folks “say more words that start with ‘D’, and even the ‘SH’ word.” Hard work and long hours make parents grumpy, and kids aboard feel the tension, too. Jason says he likes gafng the

New for 2015 A Division of Airmar Technology Corp.

MORE FEATURES FOR MORE CATCH The Compact Trawl Explorer now includes UP and DOWN features for improved visual confrmation of your catch. Marport’s Compact Trawl Explorer adds UP and DOWN features to an already multi-functional sensor, presenting an accurate echogram from the head rope into the net opening, and fish targets above the head rope. In addition, our programmable Compact Trawl Explorer provides information about depth, temperature, distance to the bottom, and clearance of the seabed. The Compact Trawl Explorer is designed for either headline (head rope) or tunnel installation to help confirm fish are moving to the cod-end, while assisting fish volume estimates and giving visual indication of fish schools above the trawl opening.

The Up/Down Compact Trawl Explorer Offers: • New heavy duty design ensures sustainable fishing in severe trawl conditions • High resolution Narrow Band with fast updates, also available by special order as standard replacement for CN-24 • Update rates as often as every 3 to 8 seconds

Alaska didn’t jump on t e SUSTAINABILITY trend. WE STARTED IT. Marine conservation isn’t new to Alaska Seafood. In fact, a precautionary approach to setting harvest levels has been in place for decades. Look at the BSAI Catch Limits chart and see how the numbers tell the story. Each year scientists conduct surveys of the available biomass and use this data to calculate conservative catch limits – Acceptable Biological Catch (ABC). Then, fisheries managers go a step further and set harvest quotas – Total Allowable Catch (TAC) – that never exceeds the sustainable ABC. And, with the FAO-Based Responsible Fisheries Management (RFM) Certification, you have even more assurance that conserving our oceans is anything but trendy to us.

My livelihood relies on Delo. ®

Edgar Hansen Northwestern Deck Boss & Chief Engineer As featured in Discovery Channel’s Deadliest Catch.

“2 years after we switched to Delo, we still haven’t noticed any wear on our engine. It still looks like the day we put it in. ®

The Delo products we’ve used have substantially minimized our operating costs. It’s satisfying to know that we can extend the time on oil changes, and we save over $50,000 to $60,000 every year ®

in just parts and labor. The Delo family of products with ISOSYN Technology and Delo Extended Life Coolants helps provide extended service protection, maximize engine durability and minimize operating costs. If your livelihood depends on your parts, then I definitely recommend Delo.” For more information, visit ChevronDelo.com Fan us on Facebook
