RE: Fishtales

I do fish while crusing. There are places along the way that I know will hold fish. I often slow and troll by a hot spot or two.

I also stop and fish a few pinicles on the high or low tide Usually just a 30 min stop.

I use spinning reels for salmon and Penn 33o GTI levelwind for the Halibut,Ling cod *and rock fish. I use* electramate electric winder's for the penn reels so I can fish in depths up to 600 ft with a pound of lead on the line and still reel in and not take all day doing it.

I'm not a trophy keeper at all. I eat everything I catch and always, always cook fish on board every time I go out. If it's not fin fish it's shell fish I'm just fortunate to live where there truly is a bounty from the sea.* I need to say I have eaten some pretty strange fish.

This one we didn't cook on the boat but did have it smoked. The best smoked wolf eel I ever had.

If I catch a cod I usually make a fishermans Brewis. It is a triditional From dish Newfoundland* made from hard tac*cod and salt pork.
