HI!! Hey I’m Lori. My husband Jeff has fished since he was about 16. He fished his way through Cal Poly, SLO and never looked back. He fishes out of Morro Bay, CA for dungeness and salmon. I was pretty lucky when our boys were little he fished rock crab, so he was home more that the average fisherman. In the summers he fished Bristol Bay, so he was gone. Hint: If you ever want to build a house, send him away to the land of no phones and you can have your way with the house. Okay so that was 32 years ago and there was one payphone in South Naknek. Our youngest was 6 weeks old that summer.
Me? I’ve always been the one with the job that paid for health insurance and had a 401(k). These days, I’m the freaking breadwinner. We’ll save that conversation for later. I have a small flock of hens for my egg business. 1,000 ish on the side. We also have a few acres of avocados. I just jumped boats from National Fisherman to Fishermen’s News for my stories. One should be coming out very soon as the check just hit my bank account. On the side, I try to stay involved in fish politics.
More Later!!
Your fellow fishwife, Lori
Hey, Lori! I’m so happy you found our forum! Meeting you at PME in Seattle last fall was such a thrill. I can’t wait to learn more about your life/experience as a POCF. I love your advice about home building – it made me laugh! And we’d love to read your pieces! If you have time, please post a link to your piece in Fishermen’s News in the Open Chat forum. I know you’re the woman in charge up there by other fishermen I’ve met in Santa Barbara. We actually met a couple (their names escape me now) who had eaten one of your frozen dinners they’d bought at a fundraiser (I believe). Small freakin world! I know you’re busy as hell, being the breadwinner now and all, but I would LOVE to interview you for our new POCF podcast I’m launching at the end of the month/beginning of May. It truly is a team effort to be in a relationship with a fisherman in many forms, and your experience proves that!! Thank you so much again for being in our group. It feels like a real “catch” to have you here. (No pun intended, but they happen.) Hope this message finds you well, Lori!
