Re: You know you are a lowliner when---
You might be a lowliner when you skip the fisherman's gear sale market because even though you have lots of good gear to sell you can't imagine that any troller has any money this spring, and you know you always spend more than you make at this event so you will be better off avoiding it.

..... You catch your first fish at 8 in the morning, your second fish at 11 in the morning, then at 4 in the afternoon you say to yourself, "Well, I guess the bite must be over!"

.. at the end of the day you wish you'd saved the bait for dinner.

You know you are a lowliner when two times in two weeks the biggest day in a fishery is the day after you left.

You know you are a lowliner when your friends text you to stay away so you don't kill the bite.
Re: You know you are a lowliner when---
You know you are a lowliner when the tenderman repeatedly asks you if you have more bags of fish, and then only offers you half the ice the guy on the other side just loaded into his holds.
Re: You know you are a lowliner when---
You know your a lowliner when two times in two weeks the biggest days in the fishery happen, and you spend those days wondering why the radios went silent and what is up with those tenders running back to town when they just got there?

You know you are a lowliner when it is the first of August and your biggest coho score is less than a hundred during the biggest coho year in SE Alaska in history.

You know you're a lowliner when the buyer hands over 1 cookie for you and your deckhand haha.
Re: You know you are a lowliner when---

You know you are a lowliner when it is the night before a king opening and no one has asked you for a job.
Re: You know you are a lowliner when---
You might be a lowliner when you tell the hoist operator your king score "about 12" and he thinks you are talking avg weight instead of number of fish.
Re: You know you are a lowliner when---
This happened to us this summer during King Season. Our Number was 16 and we were fishing in the same Bay as Salty! So we qualify and Capt is from Kupreanof even though it say Craig on the stern.Salty wrote:You might be a lowliner when you tell the hoist operator your king score "about 12" and he thinks you are talking avg weight instead of number of fish.
Re: You know you are a lowliner when---
You KNOW you are a lowliner when the only fish you were able to keep from your first day of the 2013 Winter King season was a 10" herring you snagged on a Superior 7 spoon. Oh well, at least our cat appreciated the change in his diet.
