For sure.. Need to get a few more.. Kind of a quandry; the best footage comes when it's really crappy out!

 

Another trip done.. On the way to Dutch Harbor.. 450k pounds of fish in 6 hrs. Not too bad..

 

What is the max weight/volume of fish your boat can hold?

 

Morning fellers. At least I guess for those still at work.

Hey man my drive was slow but 100% un eventful.

Ya, pics & vids would be sweet. Have you come back to the lower 48 since you first went up or you been there since?

I'm not sure if I posted about it or not but I got one about a month ago. Oddest thing is, it pushed the truck to the side...it hit that hard. Only damage was a small bind on my "bead lock" ring...got the fake TRDs on mine. The deer was moved under the tire and was pretty shredded.

On another note, I had a busy weekend planned but yesterday afternoon I got sick...all at once. I'm pretty much one of those cats that takes pretty good care of himself with diet & working out (I do dip) so it came as a surprise. When I say sick I mean I was hugging the toilet...uncontrollable at both ends without getting too gross. Even stranger was I felt fine but it changed in a matter of minutes. My 3 days off my grow to something more.

 

Dang that doesn't sound fun Joe. Hope you get better soon, so you can get back to work and sit on TW. lol

 

What's happening Night Stalkers?

Had a little work tonight , so first chance I've had to check in.

Sorry to read some sort of flu got you Joe. That's what it sounds like to me; not sure there's much you can do to prevent that. Hope you feel better soon.

 

Thanks gents. I'd rather be at work than be sick & I'd rather save my sick days for when I feel well and the weather is nice. )

I got the T100 back yesterday Rob. Looks like they did decent work. Timing belt, water pump, drive belts, hoses and some fluids. I'm not sure if I'm going to do it or have them but next up is the front & rear diff, xfer case, tranny & brake fluid.

How have you guys been?

 

Wx induced sick days are the best. Mine sometimes come on in direct correlation to fish counts, water levels, tide changes.

On my Tacoma anyway, the diffs and xfer case are not difficult, I wouldn't pay them for that. If it's manual trans, I'd do that too. Auto trans, might be worth having them do and inspect. Just fluid/filter?? you could probably do too. Auto Trans make me nervous for some damn reason.

Doing good.

 

Glad to hear you're doing well & I'm with you on the sick days.

Ya, I pretty sure I could do the work though things that stay on the ground for a living are not my specialty. I haven't asked for a quote yet but, it kinda depends on where that comes in I guess.

 

I think out biggest delivery has been 460k Lbs. That's pushing it as far as capacity below decks. We have theee seperate tanks, with a shared refrigerated sea water system..

Although, a few days ago we brought in a 70k Lbs. deck load as well - believe we delivered a total of 550k. Those sound like big numbers, but everything is very tightly managed under quotas, etc..

 

That's a lotta fish sticks!

Really glad you're still doing what you love. Sounds like a good gig. Stay safe out there Jake.

 

I tried looking for your boat but I couldn't find it with the search.
Pretty cool tool though. Seems there would be a lot more boats out there.

 

makes me sea sick just thinking about being on one of those fishin boats. especially after watching deadliest catch...big boats, vruise liners dont bother me too much but those fishin boats out there in the bering sea and stuff....i'd never make it

 

Same here.
I had to laugh at your misspelling of "cruise". When I glanced at it I thought it read
"Virus liners". Which seems pretty appropriate.

 

Haha. Yeah it can get pretty shitty out here sometimes; it's really not much fun when it's like that out..

Last summer I spent three full days changing fuel filters every couple of hours.. Took a delivery of 10,000 gallons of tainted fuel.. only way to keep the engines running was to constantly change filters. That sucked..

 

hahaha dam didn't even notice I did that sorry typo. trying to drive and type sometimes doesn't work well. Plus it's dark in the car the backlit keys help but my tired old eyes don't work as well as they used to...lol

 

10k gallons of fuel holy crap..what do you pay a gallon? thats musta been a ton of wasted money!!

 

Meh.. we were able to burn it, it just had a lot of contaminants in it..

We pack 50K gallons..

 

how many hours(or nautical miles) of traveling can you get out that?

 

dam dudethats crazy. I thought filling this tahoe everynight I work was bad...
