Additional Description: Fishing boats come in many sizes, from just over 20 feet long to 70-foot and larger boats used on the open ocean. There are many hull types, shapes, and rigs. Trollers, seen here at dock in Astoria in the 1950s, fish the ocean water for salmon, halibut, tuna, or even shark. They are rigged with tall poles that are lowered sideways to drag long lines. Trollers can also be re-rigged to set and retrieve crab pots.
