Daughter of the Sea

Daughter of the Sea

Posted by Sena Wheeler on

Some of my favorite memories are of fishing with my dad. 
 
When I say that, you might imagine a father and daughter sitting and chatting with fishing poles in the water. The quiet companionship of a day spent doing almost nothing.
 
But that's not what I mean at all. 
 
Fishing in Alaska with my dad on a halibut boat was long hours, scraping fish, coiling miles of line, and baiting hundreds of hooks. And did I mention long hours? It's all about moving fast while being very careful and learning to work until the work is done. 
 
But it was also sunsets and sunrises, days on end without seeing the shore, flocks of birds, whales in the distance, dozens of dolphins playing in the wake, and quality time with my dad. 
 
It's the kind of thing that takes on a rosy glow only in your memory.
 
Our middle daughter is 15 years old and has chosen to spend her summer in Alaska working with Rich.
She knows exactly what she's getting into because she's spent several weeks every summer up in Alaska with the family. 
 
We love sharing our passion for responsible fishing with our kids, as it was passed down to us, and we know other Alaska fishing families feel the same way.
 
For that lineage to continue, we need to fish as responsibly as possible so our kids and their kids can enjoy all that the wild Alaskan sea, and all the bounty in it, has to offer.
 
As a 5th generation fishing family, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Our commitment to preserving the long-term future of fish species and the health of the oceans is unwavering.
 
We are dedicated to maintaining a healthy fishery and are honored that you trust us to provide you with healthy, sustainable fish.
