Most all wear PFD's . BUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! when you go over the side tangled in the gear all the PFD's in the world wouldn't safe you . Fishing is DANGEROUS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I could think of something to wear that would make everyone safe but other than staying on shore ???? Quota's are the biggest cause of death in the fisheries . They make you go and fish or they will cut your quota . When you have the Asian's wanting every last fish and Trump and his henchmen buying our fish and then selling them as if they are Canadian !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that is what drives the quota's . Fishing is a great hard working job . I would hire a young guy in the back of a boat over most people I'vs met in my life . All the BS you see on TV about fishing is only based on " small truth's " . All my kids fished at the very least one full season with me as a FULL !!!!! crew member . I thought that my youngest daughter was going to stay but she is now a " rock Doc " . My son is now the one to wring salt water out of his socks .
