Yeah, it is measured by the wave duration, multiplied by the skiff length, then divided by the stern width, then split by two, then add the GPH of the the bilge pump, multiplied by the discharge hose diameter, and then, for good measure cut it in half.

You have to be a Viking to live there. Stay dry! Don't sink the dragon ship and keep the warriors rowing into the wind. Go pillage some fur!

December 1 Lynx are prime enough for me to start trapping I am heading out this morning with marginal snow cover, but better than none! like some places.

I hope to get my closer line set today and work my way out to the end of my line in the coming week.

Good luck to all!

Anyone actually catching marten this year? Our line is basically a martenless wasteland so far, and a few other people I've talked with seem to be encountering the same. frown Hoping its just the strange snow conditions and that if the weather breaks they will start moving.

Did pick up this little gal and 19 otter last time out, but not one single marten.

Hmm. Didn't actually finish PhD, bailed on that long time ago. Couldn't actually hack it not living up here in the winter regardless of how sweet of a deal grad school on a fellowship was. Just been living in Homer, fishing salmon in summer (well, not that I actually got to fish this summer), deckhanding for other stuff in fall/spring/winter and taking life as it comes.

Was annoyed by 200+ marten checks and 1 single marten, so thought I'd get on here and see how widespread this phenomenon was. Heh. On track for 100 otter season no problem tho, so thats the only saving grace.

Well I certainly understand being back here.

That sounds like a pretty grim ratio on the marten. Also a lot of work on the otter. I have heard similar complaints for out toward the valley and north of there. Might be a widespread thing.

I've caught maybe 1/10 of the marten that I usually catch by December 1st. I assumed it was simply because bears stole my pre-baiting beaver carcasses, though.

Nothing on the "blubber set" today... No birds working it either. May have found it too late.
