 HN> HIya Bob!
 
 Hello Mr. Hap
 
 ->  Because we fish in lakes that are only 70 - 85 miles wide, not a big
 ->  ocean, we get shorter rollers so the boat has more of a tendency to 
 ->  bob up and slide backwards down. This means you have to run the boat 
 ->  faster because we are generally in smaller boats from 18 to 35 feet
 ->  long.  They will slide backwards down a steep roller other wise 
 ->  letting slack into the line for the fish to get off.   All of that 
 ->  means you have to keep a tight line and sometimes they come up to 
 ->  fast.

  Ours are not waves so much as rollers.  They don't have a great 
  distance to travel, so they end up like a wave with a high middle.
  I like it better when they are not there.
 
 ->  They are more civilized here.  Generally that is, but not always.
 ->  When someone yells fish on, they all pull in their line and give 
 ->  them room to fight the fish.  None here are fishing for food, so 
 ->  you have a substantial group who are using light spinning gear 
 ->  with 8-12 pound test line.  
 ->
 HN> That's the accepted procedure here as well.
 HN> But with more and more fishermen on the river
 HN> there simply isn't time to get your gear out of
 HN> the way before the fish makes his first run downstream.
 
 Sounds hairy.. And Fun!  If I ever get out that way it will have to 
 be in the fall season.
 
  ->  At the cost for license, travel and accommodations, you can buy a lot 
 ->  more and better tasting fish at the fish market.  Most of the shore
 ->  fishermen are living in tents at local State Forest campgrounds, in 
 ->  the northern half of the lower or in the Upper Peninsula.  
 ->
 HN> Yep, which is why I haven't been fishing in a
 HN> while. Anne won't eat em, and it's just not as 
 HN> fun having to cook just for me.
 
 Jake and I seldom bring any home.  Just fun tricking them into 
 bitting.  He became dedicated when he got a big pike on a jitterbug 
 while bass fishing one evening and the fish bit the plug in half.  
  
 ->  HN> I have not had canned salmon in more than 30 years! 
 ->  HN> more like 40 I'd think! 
 ->  
 ->  A tunafish sandwich I can get into, but I like mine with onions, 
 ->  Dorothy likes celery and hates onions.  So it has been a while since 
 ->  I've had any either.
 ->
 HN> I had a tuna sandwich the other day
 HN> from Subway...first one I've had in years.
 
 Canned salmon, hmm, memory is not working well,  I seem to remember 
 making salmon patties about 25 years ago.  Regular crackers, egg and 
 canned fish mix. Fried to very crispy.  The thing that stands out was
 I made a sauce to put over them from a can of Campbell's cream of 
 celery soup, undiluted after removing from the can, and tablespoon 
 or more of dried dill weed.  That was pretty good because I remember 
 it now.  Or is that a sign of aging, you know living in the past. :-)
