It’s about time I let you all know what’s really going on and why my show hasn’t been on TV. Last Friday I got the terrible phone call and found out TLC pulled the plug on Hook Line & Sisters.

My biggest test in the skiff has come. It’s Sitka herring season. After our second opener, I have never been so challenged as a skiff woman as I was then. Maneuvering through such chaos was crazy to say the least.

Here are some tips on how to lessen your tax expense for next year. I am mainly talking to myself right now, but if you are entering the fishing industry for the first time and are not prepared on how to handle your big check at the end of the fishing season, or whatever you do as a ‘private contractor’, then you might want to listen up.

Indulge in photos from this year’s 2011 Sitka Sac Roe Herring Season. I captured most of these photos but some are contributed by my sister Memry. Brett and I want to give a huge thanks to her support. This album show the beauty of Sitka, Alaska and the essence of this fishery.
