But now fishermen are taking advantage of new regulations that let them fish with a previously banned piece of gear. In the coming years, longline fishermen in western Alaska will be allowed to catch halibut in longline pots, also known as traps in other parts of the country. Instead of fish being exposed on hooks along the ocean floor, fish swim into enclosed containers seeking the bait inside, where they're protected from hungry whales.
North Pacific regulators prohibited pots in the s and s; they can get tangled with traditional longline gear, and they're large and heavy. Now that regulators have re-approved pots, some fishermen are investing in them. He delivered his last halibut load to the docks in Homer as the season closed earlier this fall.
He ended his last trip early because of killer whales. Despite smaller paychecks for both him and his crew, Wilson is happy he prevented even more fish from going to the whales—although whales ate more halibut than he pulled in on the trip. Other regulators are still estimating those numbers for halibut, but fishermen say they're losing thousands of dollars per trip.
Wilson also fishes for black cod in the Gulf of Alaska, where black cod pots have been legal since High-school life gets even more unbearable for Nadine when her best friend, Krista, starts dating her older brother.

I go back quite aways to A Summer Place and Parish,yet even as a senior citizen I found The First Time to be a refreshingly honest and well acted film highlighted by the performance of Britt Robertson, a young actress who unfortunately is in the shade of Jennifer Lawrence and Ellen Page It is about the real emotions of modern high school kids, who you realize aren't that much different from the kids of my generation.
It's nice to see a film where kids actually fall deeply for each other rather than just fleeting sexual attraction.
