Hi all, I'm currently doing a university project on fishermen, it's mostly photography but I'm looking for some insights/quotes.
If anyone would like to share their favourite, or least favourite thing about working out at sea that would be amazing!
It can be anything! Little stories, facts about where you work, are you close with your fellow workers? If you've retired, what do you miss the most?
Last time I shared our local passion project here we only had one fish available, now we finally have another made (and just in time for Halloween)! I have very fond memories of my parents taking my brother and I down to see the salmon after spawning when we were kids! I recently visited the Vedder to do some photography and seeing the decaying salmon again instantly brought me back! Hope y'all enjoy and have a great fall :)
I've fished autoline in Norway for 15 years. Settlements are always the same headache: fish tickets, fuel and bait receipts, deductions, shares, and someone on the crew wondering if the math is right.
So I built a tool for it. You snap the fish tickets and receipts, it reads the numbers, you check them, and every crew member gets a clear settlement slip showing exactly how their share was calculated. At year end it puts together a 1099 prep report for your accountant.
I'm looking for 5 boats that pay crew by share to try it free this season, running it next to however you do settlements today, and telling me straight what's wrong with it.

Happy to answer questions here, and roast it if it deserves it.
