Time Killing on the Farm

With harvesting done on the farm, its time to do a major clean up. Nets and predator nets have recently been removed. Twelve hundred pound weights and chain weights have been surfaced. Loads of scrap rope to clean up. Bubble mats are hanging insides the empty pens and ready to dry out. Everything needs to be pressure washed and cleaned. Then it will be time to setup for smolts after fouling for minimum of three months.

Lots of time to go fishing and crabbing and prawning now. Beautiful sunny day today, working in T-shirts. The ocean is flat calm, looks like a big sheet of glass. Soon it will be time to watch for plankton and low D.o's. Catching lots of prawns right off the system.

I always have luck with seafood just off the system. Catch ling cod and rock cod, snapper and prawns. See seals and sea lions and dolphins almost daily. Last year the guys at this site saw a grizzly on the beach. B.C mainland mountains surround our site, like most people say,"this is gods country." Most beautiful place in Canada by far. Can also be nasty when the storms hit.

Looking forward to showing more pictures and talk fish with you, come back soon, before you go leave a comment on things you'd like to know or see from the farm.
