I actually noticed that typo before I hit submit but thought it might be entertaining.

So here is a submission, You might be a "hogliner" when you buy all the hot hootchie # on the west coast so no one else will have them.

You might be a "hogliner" when you consistently tack west outside the fleet (and the line) in the winter fishery in Sitka Sound.

You might be a highliner when you have helped sustain or improve the fishery by:

Think Linda Behnken leading the drive to prohibit groundfish trawling in the Federal waters east of 140 degrees.

How about you might be a lowliner if
-your deck hand wants to jig for salmon when you anchor up at night
- and catches more than you caught all afternoon
- then wants to stay and jig the next morning.

You might be a lowliner when some of your best days ever are in the Anchorages.

From Trollers Islands, to Gedney, to Malmsbury, in Simon's Bay, and watching sports fishermen catch in Kalinin Bay, to name a few, I have come to believe the best spots for me are in the Anchorages. Kind of screws the drag up when people quit early and anchor in it. Confirms my lowliner status.

It is kind of cool when everyone takes off to fight the ocean and you have to sleep in to let them clear the drag before you can go to work.

Jerry Beeson, a part time handtroller out of Juneau, taught me in the late 70's to leave a rod out with a slow rolling herring in the Gedney/Tebenkof area while anchored at night. Nothing like waking up to your reel singing and your first conscious sight is of a nice king clearing the water in the moonlight. Miss those handtroll days.

Ya, you might be a lowliner if you go in for a mid day nap and can't sleep.
Or you stay late in the anchorage in the morning because you want to finish your book.
You finally get out of the anchorage first and then you realize the others are letting you have the first crack at the sea lions.

You might be a lowliner when the local marine service providers ask you to pay in "advance".

Tom, I also had fun in September, but I can't say it was kind to us on the ocean off Kruzof.

You might be a lowliner when you are tacking with it and two twenty something gals in a 32 footer are tacking into the wind to get another clatter.

You might be a lowliner when your best coho day for the season was less than a hundred.
