Commercial Fishing near Newport R.I. aboard F/V Five J's

I HATE SKATE FISHING!!! THEY STANK AND YOU ONLY GET ABOUT $0.45 for them. Maybe $0.65 if you wing them...

"Very little bi-catch" but the limit is 50lbs of fluke, that fucking thing is full of fluke, fuck your way of fishing,

Oh sorry saw him toss the fluke back dead ..

Hate dogfish

Why are you not targeting fluke? Price is much higher? Or is this off season and the fluke moved deeper

Ey compa dame chasa quiero ir a pescar en alaska...tengobunas ganas de trabajar como pezcar mi numero de telefon es 2066641020 vivo en kent wa

do a vid of wind and tide heading out,you guys still fishing down the acid barge

Johnny and all the boys keep going! For all you naysayers the ocean is only 30 percent explored and all the faggots drinking there bottled water polluting the ocean with there shopping bags that never put a day on the dock can stuff it . We are police, we guard you and ourselves. The broke ball busting people that don't buy there food from the fish farm and work for a living don't need agrivation from land lubbers.i could go on but you can't argue with an idiot .......good hope/merit/roger

check out nz hoki trawlers cook straight , it is hoki season there now , mid water trawling , 100 myr deep marks , 1 to 2 mins worth of marks for 40 ton shots , great fishing,

Thank You. They still fish this way today. I think your referring to nylon chaffing tied to the net meshes to reduce wear and add longevity to net. As the net catches, fish accumulate in the bag which changes shape. As it drags on the bottom the friction gets greater, this helps it last longer.

Thanks for a Great video that seems to be relatively "current". Many commercial fishing videos on here seem to be quite old. By the way, what is that synthetic "furry" like material attached to the net seen as you pull it in?

Yes, Yes I would love to come to NZ and see it done right.... PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS!!!!!!!!!!!

fuck wot a bag of shit ,you want to come to nz and see what real trawling is about

Ignorance is Bliss.....My friend you eat a different sub-type of Skate.....Us Americans we only let you eat it....

way to go....kill all the immature skate ...USA at its finest

Well, I don't do it for a living like you so I'm talking out of my butt a bit, but I am a libertarian. I DO NOT trust government to do anything except what it was founded to do. But now people want them to run every aspect of our lives...including managing fisheries. Yeah, like you guys really want to destroy your own livlihood by taking all the fish, if that were even possible or destroy the means for fish to thrive.

It is a fact that the National Marine Fisheries Service believes that all fisherman are liars. Ex. All Federally permitted fishing vessels complete mandatory trip reports, detailing species caught. Yet this information is discarded during the rule making process. Only data from 'Neutral' observers is used to 'create' data for their Fishery Models. After having completed a stock assessment course myself I know "Garbage in = Garbage out". NMFS can make any assessment fit whatever they want!

I grew up in Provincetown, Mass during the hey day of commercial fishing after the Magnuson Fisheries Act in the 70's. When I was in my teens I worked a dragger for a summer. LOVED IT! But we moved away soon after that. I know I would have made it my life if I had stayed. It amazes me how the so-called 'educated' folk like to pontificate about the evils of commercial fishing having no fucking idea wtf they are talking about. Do us all a favor and stfu!

Cool! I cant wait for the new herring fishing video!

Water temperature and geography determine seasons locally. Regulations determine when species can be legally landed. Example: Herring are in Narragansett Bay, R.I. now. But last calendar year 2012, the entire Southern New England quota was caught within R.I. waters, so until 2013 no herring can be landed. All fish species can be caught all times of the year, it just depends where you are and if the conditions are right. Fish move like birds.
