Commercial Fishing Photo Of The Day | F/V Harvestor | Hidden Falls 2007

IMGP2548

The summer of 2007 was one of the most successful Hidden Falls hatchery returns in years.  Four boats;  including the F/V Harvestor, the F/V Rose Lee, the F/V Island Girl, and the F/V Island Pride hauled in just under 4 millions pounds of chum salmon in less the 21 days.  It was incredible to see massive sets of chum salmon flow over the rails again and again.  In recent years, the hatchery has fallen short in chum production.  Many fishermen speculate that the humpback whales have taken up residence and consume the newly released salmon fry to their bellies content.

  1. Swordfish are too hard to fish in f2p for a few reasons-1. You get tuna with your swsdrfioh2. Too long of a bank to bank both tuna and sword3. You dont make as much money as you do lobsTherefore, Fish lobsters for faster exp and money!
