I havent' fished commercially for years but it is always a sad day when you hear news like that. Sounds like 5 men were lost in this sinking.

Im a commercial fisherman,Have been for the last 14 years and ever since I started, Fca has had a bad rap, It is just sad that they have to loose a boat and crew to do something about it. My heart goes out to the family!
P.S-dutch was never the same after they closed the elbow room

Used to work in refineries up and down coast...lots of the refinery workers were commercial fishermen during the off season...my step Gpa was a commercial fishermen his whole life...its always a shame to hear when a boat goes...
Hats off to the crew and familys.
Here's to the happy hunting grounds...or in this case...happy fishing grounds..RIP boys~

Nope, don't miss Dutch. The last time I was there they were trying to pave the roads.
If we didn't hit the Unisea we were usually up in the bunkers as well. Somewhere in an old box I still have some wing nuts we broke off of one. I remember sitting in the bunkers and trying to watch the skyline through the concrete window.
