😂😂😂 bet it would be easier, cooler an less flies when your in a wetsuit doin it underwater 😂😂😂 Just sayin,, just ribin ya big fella…😂😂😂 ALL THE BEST…

All in a good days work my friend, nothing wrong with a good days work… ALL THE BEST to you and the family…

When we were up by Kake we did this too. Found a cheap helper, 1/2" or 9/16" bolt or pin whatever size your oar lock is, about 6" long with a heavy plate welded to it. A slot from the top to a hole the size of the line in the middle. Drop it through the slot and just slowly work the line into the boat while it scrapes clean. Looks like you’d need two separate sizes made up. The angle of the bolt in the oar lock kept most of the junk over the side.We would also heat up our shackle pins or any bolts below surface then melt and goober cheap candle wax onto them, work it back and forth then put it back together and it wouldn’t ever seize up or bind on us, just safety wire your pins though so they don’t back out and you wind up in a bad way. I miss that world, but I’ll be out of Oregon and back up SE in a few years.

Odd as it may sound, I actually miss cleaning the anchors and lines, it's quite enjoyable. Using scuba gear and a horsehair brush would make quick work of that task.

Isn’t kelp good for the garden if so you should have taken a bucket to put it in

Something I'd never seen before! Good luck Halibut fishing! 👍😎🇨🇦

does the kelp have any medicinal use or is it edible...

Hope you don't have deer flies as well! They travel in flocks!

That looks like it would be a lest favorite chore...lol but it's gotta get done 😊 hope you had a good fishing trip.

Fix your audio 😮

Maintenance saves money in the long run. Do you have to clean the bottom of the big boat 2x a year?

Set a bunch of those lines out and start harvesting the kelp...lol 😂😅 I can only imagine those mussels would go good with drawn butter or cocktail sauce. Live a little! 😊 Good luck on your hunt for Halibut, hope ya'll catch a mess. Love ya'll ❤️

Clam shells , mother nature's emergency toilet paper 😂 .

Made me think if you had about a 15" or longer piece of thick wall PVC pipe with yoke type connections for a rope to pull on each end. The diameter of the pipe a little larger than each size moring rope you have to clean that mess of kelp and barnacles from. Then you could pull the pipe from one end or the other of the boat lines. Then you can have one that drops down to the anchor that you pull up towards the bouy every so often. It will knock all that crud off and no mess afterwards. Maybe take some tinkering but it may work in your favor. Great to see you and i wanted to smack that fly on your knee so bad! Dang things.

That was about 3.5 gallons of fertilizer you just threw overboard...LOL. That fly that bit you on the leg, I saw when it landed and was watching it for a while before you interrupted it's Buffet. Yeah, I laughed when you jumped. As always, thanks for an informative video, and live free brother man.

Are the mussels and kelp safe to consume in your area? I was wondering if not for you and your wife, maybe chicken feed? Just curious!

Dang..we are wearing the same outfit..and people don't think Southeast has style..lol Cheers and happy up coming 4th !:🎉

There's just gotta be a better way. I sure can't think of what it is though, so excuse my opinion! Great job B! Have a great Sunday!

Non glamorous and hard work. Homesteading is a never ending job. Best regards to the two of you. Enjoy the summer

Glad Dinah is working out for you guys!! She's living her best life! 😊

Right as he said "man these flies are out of control" 12:13, one is on the camera 🪰

How many times a year do you have to do this Brian? Didn't noticed if you said it somewhere in the video and good luck on your fishing trip.

i do that myself only i get my sea shells from sally i think you know her she sells sea shells down by the sea shore😂😂😂😂😂😍😍😍😍/ geezer joke/ funny bone didnt quit heal straight god bless have a great week

Strangely satisfying to watch all the sludge come off!!

That looked like a tough job. Good Luck with you’re fishing trip. Have a Great week and Thanks fot sharing.

Thankyou 😊

Would the kelp have been good to put on the garden? I’m not a gardener so please excuse if it’s a dumb question.

Thank you for showing the non-glamorous side of homesteading. Chores must be done and equipment must be taken care of. Plus, another great video! Enjoy your fishing trip.

Thanks for the reminder Brian! We use a community dock mostly, but have a mooring ball in front of the house. I need to do the maintenance you are doing now.

sunday funday!

That's hard work!

We have a river house & barnacles are always a pain in the butt, but you have to do it. Another trick is put boat wax on the bouys etc

Would your chickens have eaten the muscles?

Messy chore but one that has to be done and done right. Good job Brian. You have a beautiful day there🥰. Thanks for sharing. Was good to see you today. Say hi to Diana. Have a great week✌️🇺🇸❤️❤️

Nice buddy knives you got there Army

I hate those damn biting Flys. Last summer, I was bit so much that my legs were covered in bite marks.

how often do you have to do the removal of kelp? it smell as bad as i think? i see the stable flies are bad there to the biting bastards

Been really thinking heard about leaving Ok n going back to Alaska, need a location that has health care for retired military, but not Anchorage or Fairbanks

Im thinking a block of wood with a v slot cut in it to run your lines through would help clean them. Clamp it on the skif and just pull it through the v slot. Maybe not, just a thought.

Another messy chore done! The water looks so beautiful, nice day for you to be out there. Have a great Sunday and a great safe week!

Brian, thanks again for the video, use Bee Balm before going out, it will keep the insects off just use the leaves and rub on your skin. Works great.

Happy Sunday Alaska!😊

if only there was a paint will copper in it ,you would not have to do that as often

what do you use as your backing plate for the downrigger? Like on the inside of the gunnel where the downrigger screws screw into?

Really enjoyed the adventure

Thanks, yeah fish and chips. 👊🏼✌🏻

Fresh cod is very good

What a rush it must be to rope one of those big halabutts.

Do you have motorized reels is that what I'm hearing

cod is good eating
