======================
Howdy Bob!
->  
->  Hello Mr. Hap
->
Ooooh, MISTER eh! I's feeling special now!!
(Grin)
  
->  ->  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.
->  ->
->  HN> Puget Sound doesn't get big waves often and there are
->  HN> enough Islands and such to keep them broken up when
->  HN> there are prevailing wind generated waves.
->  
->   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.
->
I like some motion...but not chaos (grin)
which I have had upon occaision!
  
->  ->  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.
->
It does get hairy at times! (grin) You get 2 or three dozen
fellows all shoulder to shoulder and hip deep in the river,
and let the upstream guy yell "FISH ON!!" and you'll get 
a free show!
  
->   ->  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.  
->
You outta take Jake to Cabo for a fishing trip sometime!
   
->  ->  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. :-)
->
At our ages we have more of a past to 
draw on and the future ain't always what
it's advertised to be (grin)
If you go charter fishing for salmon on the coast,
when you return from the trip you can trade your
freshcaught salmon at the cannery for canned. A 
lot of the tourists who come from "far away" do that
as getting it back home is a lot less dicey.
chat with you soon!
