Going out to Sea
As the Sword leaves the breakwater and drops her stabilizers, we consider our options. Fishing close to town means that we will need to compete with the rest of the fleet.
Fishing further out means there will be heavy weather and added risk to the boat and crew. I came of age in Alaska and I have come to love its wild freedoms. The open ocean draws us out of cell service and away from the competition. Finding a school of salmon without another boat in sight is our ultimate challenge.
