Every Alaska fishing season starts before the sun does, and this sea otter captain is no exception.Salty Dawg Hoodie on, Red Bull in hand, he's mentally preparing for another long day chasing schools of fish before most people have even hit the snooze button.
His hoodie proudly features the legendary Salty Dawg Saloon in Homer, Alaska. One of Alaska's most iconic waterfront landmarks. Since this artwork is also created and shipped from Homer, Alaska, it's a fun hometown tribute to the harbor that inspires so much of my artwork.
But don't call this a trawler...
This captain runs a seiner.
A seiner fishes by surrounding a school of fish with a large net that closes like a drawstring purse, allowing fishermen to target specific schools with incredible efficiency. Unlike bottom trawlers, seiners do not drag heavy nets across the ocean floor, helping avoid damage to sensitive marine habitats while greatly reducing unnecessary bycatch. It's one of Alaska's most sustainable commercial fishing methods and a proud tradition for many fishing families.
Whether you've worked on a seiner, know someone who has, or simply love Alaska's commercial fishing culture, this piece is guaranteed to make people smile and feel right at home in any cabin, beach house, fishing lodge, or waterfront home.
Printed from my original watercolor painting, each piece is professionally reproduced on high quality watercolor texture paper and carefully mounted to a wooden canvas board, giving it the look and feel of the original artwork. It arrives ready to hang! making it an effortless addition to your home or the perfect gift for the commercial fisherman, deckhand, captain, or Alaska lover in your life.
