Troll
Trollers are the most numerous type of commercial
fishing vessel in our port. You can recognize a troller by
the long, thin outrigger poles which parallel each other
and stand straight up when not in use. Numerous lines
containing baited hooks are attached to the outrigger
poles and slowly pulled through the water. All ocean
salmon are caught by trollers. The season is established
by law and takes place in the summer months.
Species Caught:
Chinook (King) Salmon
Coho (Silver) Salmon
Albacore Tuna
Lingcod
Rockfish (sometimes
called Snapper)
