We are about 30 days away from the Annual Sitka Sound Sac Roe Herring Fishery in Alaska. Hundreds of boats and fishermen will be participating in this years fishery. This video is a sample of the events to come. "A Shoot Out" takes place when the Herring Fishery opens, and the Seine Boats begin dropping their nets. This is a fun time to be filming in Southeast Alaska. The Sitka Alaska "Group" on the Vimeo web site has additional video from Southeast Alaska.

David,

Explain to this dumb Aussie!, what the hell is a "Shoot out" is it a comp to see who can drop and recover their nets the fastest or am I way off the mark?

Nice footage BTW.
