The LVH Fishing Club had their annual tour today of the commercial fishing boats in Yaquina Bay. Captain Mike Pettis and Dean Fleck of Englund Marine showed us the different types of fishing vessels, explained the current status of the Pacific Northwest commercial fisherman and all their efforts to sustain the fishery, and followed the tour up with a graphic video showing a great deal of what our fishermen go through (good and bad). Thanks, guys!

Also, we couldn't have picked better weather to go out walking on the docks looking at boats. I don't think we can thank Mike and Dean for that, too, but it sure made it a nice day.
