Hi Thrifty! One of the stories posted on here talked about football type of guys ending up bawling their heads off not able to handle it. Definitely a different type of person to handle a job like that.

As far as the puking goes.........
I'll never forget a salmon charter I went on out of Vancouver Island at the Canadian Princess Resort in Ucluelet-Long Beach.

It was August and raining when we left.
We had to go farther out that day then the day before.
Sea's got worse and worse as did the driving rain and temperature started to drop big time.

Captain asked us if we wanted to turn back.
I said no way I paid to fish lets go.
No one said no but I bet they were thinking it by the looks on their faces. LOL!

15 of us on that boat. Wasn't to long before 13 of them fed the fish. This went on for hours while me and another guy fished. There were times from hearing the other guys feed the fish I almost lost it but I hung on that whole trip. It took everything I had to stand up with the wind and boat movement. I wedged myself in the corner of the boat. The charter next to us about 75 yards away we'd see them and then we wouldn't as they went down off the wave. LOL! See the guys in the charter next to us feeding the fish also.

I caught my limit that day. Nothing huge but it was quite an experience I'll never forget. My fingers were so cold I'd go in to warm them up over the hot plate when we moved. You go in the cabin to see the ones who just emptied themselves with their head on the tables looking like they were dead. LOL!

Nope. Missed the puking show but I'm sure it probably has been shown.

BTW. If any of you want to take a charter from where I did I highly recommend these people. I've been there 3 times and water only bad that one day.
Great gear, boats, accommodations, top run resort for fantastic rates.
