Dak Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) Added a few Photos from my Mar 2014 trip. Seals, Sea Lions, Dolphins, Killer Whales Humpback Whales, Sunfish, Dogfish, Chinook Salmon and Albacore Tuna. Not in that order. Enjoy! https://www.dropbox.com/sc/wj37lkp5x2384ng/z5Ko9ou4kn Edited March 12, 2014 by Dak 4 Quote
soulJAHmon Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 Awesome pics Dak, looks like you had a great fishing trip and loaded your freezer in the process. Nice moves. Speaking of fish & moves, I've found a new workplace this last week. I accepted a job at Mavrik Marine in La Conner, WA. I get to head up the whole woodworing department starting 2 weeks from yesterday. http://www.mavrikmarine.com/ http://skagit.org/news/entry/mavrik-marine-relocates-brings-jobs-to-skagit-county 1 Quote

Maybe you can talk those guys into building some offshore sportfishing boats.... seems to be missing from their project list. Will you be moving the family or is it close enough for you to commute to the shop? Quote
Dak Posted October 9, 2013 Author Posted October 9, 2013 (edited) An interesting story about the 2nd photo..... One of the guys hooked into a salmon and as he was bringing it in, a seal grabbed it by the tail(photo taken). The seal did not have a very good grip on it so after a little tug-of-war, the seal let go to get a better grip. Because we were reeling it in as fast as we could, he was only able to grab it by the tail again. The second time he let go to regrip, the salmon was close enough to the boat and I jumped to the back of the boat, leaned out and gaffed the fish just as the seal exploded from the water in a last ditch attempt to steal our dinner. Fishemen 1 Seal 0..... but it doesn't usually turn out that way. Once a seal latches on, usually end up losing the fish and often a bunch of fishing gear. Cool experience!

From what I know so far, they are very capable of building what you are talking about. Anything from a 20' fishing boat to 120' Alaska seiners, ferry boats, and the like. They (we) have a large and VERY expensive CNC machine that cuts all the parts. And yes, the shop is only a 30 minute commute from our place! Edited October 10, 2013 by soulJAHmon Quote
Dak Posted March 12, 2014 Author Posted March 12, 2014 Added a few photos and videos from my Feb 2014 fishing trip. Check out that halibut! https://www.dropbox....84ng/z5Ko9ou4kn Quote
