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.

The nature of competition can be intense. This is the herring fishing season and what is soon to be unveiled in the new TLC fishing series, “Hook Line & Sisters”. Let me give you some context into the world of herring fishing and my experience leading up to what you will see on the premier tonight.

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.

Boat Carnage

From the corner of my eye I spot a white mass come out of no where. Before I know it I am knocked against the cabin and here a deafening CRASH! Another boat collides with our starboard stern quarter and a true Sitka herring opener underway.
