Kings of Sole

Have you ever gone fishing “under” a cannery?

From Mike's e-book:

“We were having so much fun catching Sole that we didn't notice the tide was coming in. And because we had tied off our boat too tight to the post, our boat was seriously leaning to one side, and we were close to taking on water.

As I pulled in another Sole and put it in our boat, I noticed that our boat was in trouble, and we were about to sink. So, I quickly took my trusty knife out of my pocket and cut the now very tight line attached to the post.

Whoosh – our boat sprang up out of the water, nearly throwing the three of us out of our small craft.”

Are you ready to go fishing in Alaska?

My Alaska Commercial Fishing Adventure

When Mike was 16, he spent the summer working on an Alaskan fishing boat.

From Mike's story:

“Then the Skipper yelled “what are you doing? I told you to pull in the lead line!” Frustrated I swung around to look at the Skipper. When I did, the plunger pole slipped out of one hand and the end of the wooden pole struck him on the side of his head. Suddenly, I watched in terror as the Skipper's body shook in anger. He looked up at me with furious eyes and yelled “what?” At that moment, I shot back with “what do you want me to do? Man the plunger pole or the lead line?” The Skipper stood there still shaking for an angry moment and loudly growled “both!”

In “My Alaska Commercial Fishing Adventure” you'll go along with author Michael R Dougherty on the adventure of a lifetime on Prince William Sound in Alaska.
