The Things You Need (For Someone Considering Crab Fishing In the Bering Sea)

Hello Fishies!

I had forgotten about this great piece that was in the Anchorage Press several years ago, written by well known Fisher Poet Toby Sullivan. Look for his work.

The Things You Need

(For Someone Considering Crab Fishing In the Bering Sea)

Toby Sullivan

You need Xtra Tuffs boots – two pairs for when the ankles get holes from being folded down to dry. Two sets of orange Grunden’s raingear, jacket and pants. Dutch Harbor brand gear is OK too, they even have pockets now. But the hoods on the Helly Hansen jackets are too small for some guys, and the dark green color is invisible at night in the water if you go over. If anything happens.

The rest of this wonderful prose is something you should not miss and is available here:

Grunden’s: Grundens - Quality Foulweather Gear

Stay tuned!

PS to Toby: I didn't get down to the gathering and have been trying to find you!
