I'm thinking just the opposite. The side rail gives the captain more leverage as to how he's managing the overall work but the boat seems to roll on one side making it susceptible to an unfortunate event. In a turbulent sea it will be a handful to navigate.
It certainly is more comfortable to haul gear from the side, no need to bend way over to unsnap the gangions. Concerning the roll of the vessel, we also haul our cod and rockfish over the side and we are very used to working in that position. Hauling in weather is also safer as we can manuver the vessel in relation to the line and wind/waves. Hauling from the stern there is absolutly no way to turn the vessel other than to kick the stern one way or the other and within seconds you are pushed right back.
Like the angle as we can see the catch coming up. Always enjoy seeing what it is. Would like to see a close up demo of your using the tool to unhook the fish. We never had anything like that years ago.
Yes boys a found yous again. A lost my old phone and everything on it with all my subscriptions. So glad you got recommended again as a love you guys. ✌
i find your vids really relaxing in an evening when im not trying to do 10 things at once. i think you could do with a scuff plate down wear you pull the line in was a few times i thought it will either wear your line or your paint neither of which are cheap at a guess
I’ve been checking all morning for your video. I was happy to see it when it appeared. I really enjoy them both the fishing videos and working on the boat. Can’t wait to see Emerald Isle out fishing. When do you expect to have your processing set up complete
Thanks tmoss! We hope to have it wrapped up around the end of August, but that just depends on halibut fishing. We have quota to catch on the EI after we finish the quota on FT, so that’ll come first. At least we get out on the water with her at last! 😄
Yep good camera angle. Makes it a lot more fun to see what’s coming up at the same time you do. I have to say that I’ve had the opportunity to eat some well prepared Octopus and they can be excellent. Like fresh squid, if you get it good fresh, well taken care of , and then prepare it well it’s a unique and tasty seafood. It’s one of the things that I seem to enjoy more as I get older. Pieces of squid and octopus in some chowders can add a lot. Or different type of battered and fried, or steamed with spices.. lots of different ways. Still wouldn’t trade it for quality Halibut.
Thanks, peter! I’d like to try a catch clean cook octopus it one of these days. Just gotta get the technique for cooking it right. I tried once, flavor was great but turned out super rubbery.
Nice video EIS. I hate to say this, but from a viewers perspective, I think when you hauled up fish from the rear, it afforded a better view. Just my opinion. Otherwise, great video.
Its all good, criticisms are welcome of course, we like all feedback. All I can say is we’ll keep working on the camera angles. Can you point out a specific video with the old setup that you enjoyed? I can try to capture some shots from a similar angle. In regards to the more work part, it is but it isn’t. We had a bit of a tradeoff in areas but by and large, there is less gear moving, I can bait during haulback and not have to move tubs or bins around between sets. Hauling in stuff like skates there are big energy savings too, since the reel does all the heavy lifting. There are some areas that need improvement still, we’ll work on those are we go.
Great work Gents. The new camera angle gives a great view and you blokes seem to have adapted well to the new positions with the side hauling. It seems to me that you have better working positions with everything at an easy reach. I wish you tight lines with good hauling. All the best from Bris Vegas Australia!
So glad to hear it, james. We’re going to continue working on the camera angle, we have some footage captured already of the camera out another 6ft or so, so look forward to that. I think it’ll look great. We’re getting used to the new positions now, it feels a lot more convenient for stuff. A couple improvements to make still, but a work in progress.
First as always thank you for the video I always appreciate it.i really liked how the set up was before.but I kinda like it the way it is now but it seems as if it is just a little harder on you two.and I think maybe it will just take y'all a little bit to get the hang of it the way it is now.but I do like where the camera is it allows us to see everything so much better.but as long as y'all are happy with the set-up then I am happy also lol witch it really doesn't matter what I think.it is y'all doing it.and I love fishing but this so much better.and I really start thinking about the first few times I jumped off of a diving board and doing a belly buster lol same with some of the fish you are throwing back lol but again thank you for the video appreciate it every single time
Haha, thanks a bunch for the comment, scott. There’s definitely an element of muscle memory to it, we are starting to get it down now. I’ll admit there are a few detriments the the new arrangement, one being the dragging fish into the back when they are thrashing, other is measuring out. There is probably some other things, but I can say I (Matt) am not as tired with this way. We’ll keep working at the small stuff as time goes on. 😃 And yes, halibut have the belly flops down, haha!
Thank you for another great video, the real professional fishermen. How about putting the pole for the camera at the back of the boat since you are not using the real side of the boat very much.
That seems to be the main response! Do you mean angled up a bit more (to not have our heads cropped)? Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated, arlbe!
Hey EIS Family! Got a question for Dad... Welding a piece of 2 1/2'x8' aluminum with a roll for a corner, like the Emerald Isle's bulwark corners... It's kicking my butt good. The test fit is exact but after tacking in the top the bottom won't line up at all. It's like it's twisted or something and a gap as well. It's absolutely making me very sad, to put it nicely. Lol. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Also, is there advantage to having the wire spool in your hand compared to the spool being in the machine? Wire waste maybe?
Could you send me a few pictures? Then I can get a better idea of the problem. Email is leonard@eisalaska.com No advantage to spoolgun, just portability. I think the larger spool is better in terms of wire cost, but not sure. Weld quality is likely better too.
Thanks for watching out for us! That was a splice that went by. When we break off or get a bad spot in the line we will tie it back together with a love knot. Later on if that shot ends up on the last end of a set, we will pull it off and splice the line together.
What are the multiple tentacled "fish" they are throwing back. They appear to have a lot more than eight tentacles...chat gbt tells me they are Pacific octopus or hagfish...
I guess I should be thankful that when I adjust my cameras I don't have to risk my life falling into ice cold waters filled with man eating sharks! Well, in your case finger eating sharks :)
Very good question. The answer is no, because the Halibut IFQ fishery is highly regulated and it is illegal to retain onboard any undersized halibut. It is also illegal to have any halibut onboard that has been processed and/ or frozen. We can keep any amount of our catch as personal use, but it still needs to be recorded on the fish ticket and that amount would be deducted from our quota. So it would be like buying fish from ourselves. However, if we are not commercial fishing we can set gear and harvest halibut under our subsistence permit using longline gear.
@@bbsl1967 Thank you! We mounted it out a bit further on the last trip, so that will be coming out soon. Also going to get a mount made for the stern so we can get it from that angle. Trying to get some better views.
Audio is a lot better view is decent a little wider angle would be a little better but overall it’s pretty dang good. I hope doing this videos pays off for you. I know it will help selfish.
I still say I'd pay you to come up sleep on the boat healp you anyway I can for the chance to do it again I'll pay lol im just a older man that spent from age 17 to 22 up there fishing lol keep the faith and stay safe
Ok ok everyone says the smaller ones are better eating but come on its really hard to make a living on them and most people don't get to for them if I'm fishing for them I want the big females lol
I can get where you’re coming from in a viewers perspective, however the workflow is better now. There is a lot of energy savings we didn’t think about when we hauled in the back. When we get into the skates for example, you can get 50+ a set easily. They weigh in usually 50-80+ lbs, hefting them up to the rail and balancing them to dehook them wasn’t easy. Now the hydraulics can simply hoist them up to the block where we can easily twist the hook out with the gaff. Well keep working on nice enjoyable camera angles as we go, its a lot of trial and error. 😃 We do love the feedback too, so thank you.
Great camera perspective, and the audio is good also. Love watching all your videos, guys.
Awesome! Thank you for the comment omr!
Great spot for the camera. Some nice fishing also.
That was a nice haul to bad no market for urchins you would have made a killing 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤stay safe my friends
Thanks John! I think they were a bit too small, but yes I agree, that or starfish around these part, haha!
The side rail seems to be working better than the rear rail. Your coordination with this setup is amazing. Keep up the great job you do.😊

I love the view of the line and fish coming in.eat angle. I feel like jumping in to catch the fish.😊

Would like to see a close up demo of your using the tool to unhook the fish. We never had anything like that years ago.
You got it! We just use a short gaff. Grabbed a shot dehooking a skate today, it will be in a future video.
Yes boys a found yous again. A lost my old phone and everything on it with all my subscriptions. So glad you got recommended again as a love you guys. ✌
Sucks about the phone, but glad you’re back!
After all the prep work, the fish are coming aboard. Nice work men. Blessing
Thanks Raven! Good to see you here.
Perfect view, great job men🇺🇸
Love to hear it, thank you!
Most excellent camera angle
Glad to hear, thanks travis!
So good. Thank you.
Thank you too!

😋 halibut mmm tastes 😋 so good 👍 😋
Opps then I ran a chater boat for 25 years now I just remember the good times ok we hand sharpened all hooks by hand every set
Great view of your chatch. Keep safe lads and happy hunting
An excellent fishing video. You did catch some Hali’s.
Thanks guys! Appreciate what you do!!
Great camera view.
Thanks, Frank!
Looks like a productive set for the first day out.
Good job guys. And the catch was nice today. Greetings from Misery Bay

Aside from a decent catch of halibut, I think you guys about have your quota for starfish.
So true! They are hogging all the bait, grrrr! 😖
Hey, oh, careful with that gaff Matt, you nearly had my eye out! 🙂🙂
Always give me a 10ft berth when I have a gaff in my hand. 😂
Wishing you luck and health, looking forward to your videos. Love
Thanks Thuy!
@@EISAlaska love you

100% agree I used to watch all the videos before the change. The view was so much better.
Ya for sure it seems like yall have to do a little extra more bending and shuffling around

totally agree. seems like harder work and less enjoyable to watch. sorry guys. hall in from the back was the best
totally agree. seems like harder work and less enjoyable to watch. sorry guys. hall in from the back was the best

Haha nice, scott! Never know when you’ll soak up a nice anchor fish.
great work

Some nice slabs in that set! The starfish seem to be doing very well also 🤠
They are! And they are voracious!
Nice new tweaks on the new setup. You're getting it dialed in pretty good. Just need to find a patch with more of those big, fat halibut!
18:46 awesome ‼️🔥💪

Our pleasure! Thanks lakota!
Wow starfish everywhere!
canned octopus will be amazing sir
Thank you for another great video, the real professional fishermen. How about putting the pole for the camera at the back of the boat since you are not using the real side of the boat very much.
Good idea, Tony. I’ll try to get that angle next trip.
Great another one preasur cook that octopus yum
Nice to see some fat ones coming across the rail.😊 We used to use dogfish for Dungy Crab 🦀 bait around NW Washington. 😊
buy a snake chap for the side you know the fish will hit your leg amd save money on rain gear
Patch rain gear with Flex Seal
yes looks good
👍
I think your new camera location is best yet, maybe a hair lower?
That seems to be the main response! Do you mean angled up a bit more (to not have our heads cropped)? Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated, arlbe!
Good❤❤❤
Ok pressure cook pick some kelp and sea grass cut small pieces your favorite alove oil vinegar aa freash salid thanks guys
Yea fin soup
Always a pleasant family, where's the younger son? Does he not like fishing ?
The camera seems to be a bit high. I’d drop it down a foot or so. That said, nicely done 👍😀
Thanks for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed it, SirBoden!
In. A hot summer like now have you ever thought about running out to blue water and catching tuna it's about 5o dollars a fish now lol
There's tape now that will fix them nowadays
And 6 gills sharks and salmon sharks
Halibut come up full of spunk on the longer ganion's not so fatigued fighting short line
The relatively shallow water also helps.
What a pity there's no market for those blobby starfish things! Just a thought - dry 'em, grind'em and sell to the insatiable Chinese!?
I wish! We’ve caught so many already this season.

Yep, sunflower sea star.
I guess I should be thankful that when I adjust my cameras I don't have to risk my life falling into ice cold waters filled with man eating sharks! Well, in your case finger eating sharks :)

Is that rocks or clams or something shaking out of the starfish?
Both! Sometimes they are really loaded up.

Those are starfish, specifically sunflower sea stars.
@@EISAlaska thanks.
Can you eat them?
Is there a market for octopus?
We can sell them as bycatch to the plant, but its more valuable as bait for us.
