Nice vid! That's a cool rig.

I'll have to read about Bristol Bay...must be super shallow because it seems that all these Bristol Bay boats are very shallow draft.

I think there's also a lot of value in not having a prop to catch one of the billion Gill nets that are floating around.

They have some interesting regulations on that fishery too.

B. Bay has extreme tides. Shallow draft is a good thing. Not uncommon to see gillnetter’s stuck at low tide, keeled over on its side. They call that “homesteading”....not a pleasant experience when the boat has 20,000 lbs of sockeye in the hold and the tide comes back in
