I'm a 67 yr old guy who has been fishing most my life. I have commercial fished in Alaska skippering the f/v North Star for two years. I'm retired and mostly river fish and lake fishing here in Pa.

Hi Carl

Welcome to fishingreminder.
Thanks for the intro. Working on a commercial fishing vessel in Alaska must have been quite exciting.

happy fishing

Hi Carlp

It is very pleasure to meet you on Fishingreminder.
Fishing in Alaska might be heaven through all year around.

It would be much appreciated if you could share your fishing experiences with us.

Cheers

Hello Mark,
Fishing in Alaska was a real thrill. I owned a 44ft doublender for long lining.It was built in 1929 solid as a rock. It was named the North Star. We mostly fish for halibut, cod, snapper etc. The hydraulic drum would hold 5 skates each one was 1800ft long with a gangion and hook every 11ft. We would set the lines in about 150 to 500ft deep water and come back every 4hrs to check them. It always was a thrill to see what was coming from that deep. Now I fish about 4 days a week here on the river. What kind of fishing do you do?
