When your not fishing you can sit behind the wheelhouse or in the salon or galley. A lot of boats rotate customers in the stern by number. They also do trolling rotation on Tuna trips. On the 1/2-3/4 trips they use gunnysacks with your number held on hooks in numerical order around the bait tanks. They soak the sacks throughout the day with the deckhose. On longer trips they staple numbered tags on the gillplate of the fish and either put them in the slush tank or freezer hold. I don't think I ever saw a 2 anchor setup out there. Sea lions are a pain in the fleets butt inshore. Offshore they have kelp patties and logs where we have pots and floatsom lines. I miss it but I like it here too.
