By Geoff Austin

​Before I became a full-time fisherman, I worked as a deckhand on a salmon troller during summer breaks and for a few fall openings when I managed to ditch out on school. I would spend the warm summer months chasing all 5 salmon species up and down the south coast.

Those were good days, though I remember days when my skipper (a haywire, pot smoking, hard drinking and all around great guy) and I barely made enough money to buy cigarettes and a couple steaks after the day’s work.
