Tim Hus Seine Boat Song lyrics

Chorus:
The wet fog makes me shiver up in Campbell River
The strait is full of salmon once again
The fishing boats are ready and we're all working steady
And it's looking like another day of rain

I just can't wait to be out on the Georgia Strait
With a hold full of salmon motoring home
No there's nothing better than this old seine netter
And a four man crew to call my own

We're chopping through the spray
Out from Oyster Bay
We wave a troller passing by
He's setting out his hooks
Trying to catch them big Chinook
And we gotta make the narrows before the tide

Chorus

Instrumental


Wait 'till the current slows
Then up through the narrows
The fog horns guide us on our way
Past the lighthouse on the rocks
Far beyond the sawmill docks
We make the trip on up to Humpback Bay

Now winch the running line
We're falling way behind
Roll the seine net off the drum
Let's make another set
And see what we can get
The packer's waiting on this Sockeye run

Chorus
