Sasha’s Story

I started fishing with my dad Tony when I was still in grade school at the age of 8. We made short trips to Johnstone Strait. I remember being so excited cruising along the net just after dark counting the number of fish we caught, with the spotlight in my hand. I always thought I was the luckiest kid to have a summer job fishing on a boat where I got to see the whales and all the other sea life. I was still in high school when I got a job on the fish packer the ‘Mitchell Bay’, buying salmon from the local fishermen. It was a great job and it paid a better crew share than I was getting on my Dad’s boat. In the end I still wanted to fish my own boat so I worked hard and bought my first boat,  the ‘Summer Wages’ at the age of 19 and have been fishing for the past 30 years.

At first I ran into a lot of problems but luckily my Dad was always there to bail me out. I enjoy traveling up and down the coast each summer. Each season brings new opportunities in different fishing areas. In 2007 I purchased the “Sleepless Nights”, appropriately named because soon after that my first son was born. I am really looking forward to the day when my wife will let me take our three kids out to deckhand with me and see the beautiful BC coast.
