I saw this quote on an another post and reworked it to reflect fishing couples - this may be one of the most accurate statements for loving a fisherman. Do you agree?
After being with my fisherman for 9 ½ years, through 15 seasons and 4 fisheries….where he’s been both a captain and a deckhand…as we’ve lived together near his home port and thousands of miles apart during fishing seasons…this incredibly unique lifestyle has brought us through the biggest wins and the hardest challenges – both personally and professionally – for the both of us. It forces us to put our egos down, learn how to communicate (repeatedly), and prioritize intimacy (even in tough times).
While talking on the phone with Chris last night (he, in California, and I, in North Carolina), I realized this experience continually gives us a great perspective on our growth as individuals and as a couple.
I am so grateful for the time we spend together
The Time we spend apart
The Time I spend alone
The Time I spend with my family
The Time with friends
The Time that fishing has allowed me time to build a community with YOU.
I am so grateful for our connection, whether virtual or in person.
We are connected through a lineage of Partners of Commercial Fishermen who have supported the industry, its fishermen, families, and communities *since the dawn of our economic civilization.*
If you feel challenged at times, we understand what you’re going through. If you’re overcoming obstacles, we celebrate with you. (I see this represented beautifully in our private group chat.)
We walk arm and arm together, a powerful light beaming from the centers of our hearts to our families and communities while making a difference in the world.
We are the Partners of Commercial Fishermen.
May we always know the power that lies within us all.
May we always know that we are not alone.

Happy New Year! We’re officially settling into 2025, and I have a great feeling about this year. Thank you so much for being apart of this community. I truly love and appreciate each of you and value to give just by being here. ⚓️
Community is a HUGE part of looking out for our personal wellness and that is the theme that will start our year.
After hosting our community for over five years, as Partners of Commercial Fishermen, I’ve learned there are 4 main topics that also affect our wellbeing on a daily basis:
⚓️ Personal Wellness/Mental Wellness for our Fishermen
⚓️ Relationship Connection
⚓️ Finances
⚓️ Fishery Support/Advocacy
⚓️ Other
👇 Rank yours in the comments. 👇 And if your open to share, please explain a little abt why you chose one or two (or all) of them. Let’s walk through this together!
I’d love to learn new ways to support you this year.
As a bonus, there is a new post on POCFPride.com about helpful morning routines to get centered, plus two *juicy* podcast episodes that share intimate details abt setting healthy boundaries w friends, family, and even the media we consume regularly. More on that later, but you can hop over to the Partners of Commercial Fishermen podcast to listen now!
I wish you and yours all the best. Here’s to a prosperous and joyful year for us all!

👀 I see you! Many Partners of Commercial Fishermen are either actively campaigning for their fisheries, or wondering how to become more involved.
As we grow our Beautiful community, there will be more tools and resources to help support you in the areas you’re most interested in/needing more clarity or support in. For example:
➡️ Are you wondering where to start?
➡️ Have you hit a deadend and looking for a new route?
➡️ Is it something more nuanced than that?
🪄If you could wave a magic wand, what do you wish you had more support/clarity with to help your fishery thrive?
Let’s share where we are on our individual journeys so we can find ways to lift ourselves up to the seat of power, productivity, and prosperity for our fisheries and families!

Type “Podcast” in the comments and I’ll send you the link! 🔗 I go into more detail abt the sober-convos we’ve had in the last two months + my relationship to weed and alcohol.
I didn’t think I’d get into some of the personal weed stories that I share. However, your sober-curiosity/ courage to go along your sobriety journey gives me courage to share mine. Thank you for that. 🫶
I also share several memoirs about addiction that helped me feel less alone when I quit drinking. It was almost like my own personal support group.
If you wanna catch up on our sober-convo’s in IG stories, tap the highlight “Sobriety 💫” below the link in bio.
🎙️ You can listen to the episode on the Partners of Commercial Fishermen podcast, on Apple, Spotify, and your favorite podcast platforms. (Or, comment “podcast“ and I’ll send you the link!)
You are not alone. Let’s get into it. 😎

When tragedy strikes our commercial fishing families and you don’t know what to do:
Breathe. (Elongate your exhale.)
Pray. (Or send healing energy.)
Hold space for them in your heart. ♥️

Comment “GIFT” for access to the FULL list! We own half of these and rest were recommended by other Partners of Commercial Fishermen, so you know we got you covered. Each item is linked for easy shopping. 🛍️ Don’t worry, you still have time, even though your entire town is already decorated for the holidays like it’s tomorrow.
One of my faves is the TSA Known Traveler Number. I bought one for Chris and it’s the gift that keeps on giving when he flies from fishery to fishery, and fun travels in between. ✈️
See what else is prepped and ready for you with a click on pocdpride.com, link in bio, OR comment “GIFT” and I’ll hook you up! 🎁
What has been a memorable gift you’ve given your fisherman or that they have given you?
*Also, not sure why the first slide is jacked but I’m definitely not wigging like I would’ve in the past. Ain’t nobody got time for that. I think this is called “growth.”
