<<I too have spent a gazillion hours with fishermen/women of all sorts and styles out at sea, in bays, Puget Sound, rivers, lakes etc. I'd be interested in hearing about your adventures. Maybe when summer is over and vacations cease we can exchange some stories over on Ish's thread?>>

Fishing stories are part of my thread.

I don't fish any more. I was married for ten years to a fanatic fisherman and I got into it but I've been there, done that, don't need to do it any more. <g> Mostly we fished for game fish. Tarpon over salmon. Although I have caught salmon, back when we lived in your part of the world. For food, mostly fished for striped bass in the Atlantic, cobia and king mackerel in the Gulf of Mexico. Amberjack in the Keys. Caught a big redfish once while stranded for a few days on an island (more like a sand bar) in a storm with no steering somewhere off New Orleans. The island is probably not there any more. New Orleans is barely there any more.

Anyway, it's been decades since I've fished so I don't have any good fish stories. The memories are too distant. I would remember, though, if I ever ran into anyone who canned fish. <g>
