Who we are

I’m Kyle Jackson, a commercial fisherman for 12 years, working everywhere from small mackerel boats to massive scallop and swordfish fleets. I run The Channel FisheryByTrade, showing the real, unfiltered life at sea through short reels and live streams big media won’t show.

Our Mission

We tell the raw truth of commercial fishing—no watered-down stories, no staged shots. Our goal is to connect you to the lifestyle, history, and even the catches and merchandise of hardworking American fishermen.

Why We Do It

False narratives have painted fishermen as villains, pushing out small, independent crews. We show the reality—how the industry has worked for decades toward sustainability and preserving the fishing spirit in our communities.
