Sounds like a fun time. Hope you’re feeling better these days. Tell your daughter very nice red and trout there. Years back, it’s illegal now, we hunted scallops in Pensacola bay towards the naval base. Bare footed, shuffling your feet until you felt an urchin. Reach down and there the scallop would be. Good luck on catching them.
Four it's up and down with the health. Stoma is least of my problems. Chemotherapy made a mess of my heart and lungs.Right now heart is stable and I can get 92percent O2.
Didn't know that scallops hung with the urchins.

Well, Scallop season opens July 1st on the west coast of Florida in Hernando county and even with my physical problems I'm going. I'm setting up a charter trip. The limit is 2 gallons per person. I've invited my daughter that out fished me on the Sea Trout charter trip she setup last summer. Hoping I can out do her on scallops. The last time I took her for scallops she was 12 years old. The first scallop she caught she keep it alive till we got home and she put it in the salt water aquarium we had. She loved that ring of blue eyes it had. Notice the past tense there. Well on previous trips out her and her brother had caught a cow fish and some star fish. I didn't know that star fish ate scallops. The largest star fish caught the scallop pried that thing open and commenced to eat it. Of course the Cow fish got into it as well. After that we ate all the scallops we caught. Pictured are the only Red we-she caught and her largest trout.

That doesn't sound like a rudder to me. I would look more closely at it. Sounds like a skeg to me. A rudder is used to turn all vessels that I'm aware of.

Make sure your rudder has kick up ability! I saw a guy kicking and swearing at his yak upon walking up and seeing the back where the bolt goes thru ripped open and the rudder was supporting the back of the yak. Don't know if it was homemade or modified. I just walked on. I found I had a choice of skaggs and the longer one solved my steering problem. I watch very close to the depth of the water. My yak is inflatable so it wouldn't do for me to ground it.

Walleye up front, sheephead closest to you, and can't make out the ones closest to the car. Those same fish + perch were my intro to Erie 15 yrs. later; good times with dad! Mom cooked them up so I've probably got enough mercury in me to be able to guess the temp without having to look at the weather channel.
I didn't think the mercury got bad back then. I do know when the Cauaga river caught fire in Cleveland.
Mom would cook anything we brought home. It just had to be cleaned. I remember bringing a bunch of Ruddy ducks and Mom asked how I wanted my pigeons cooked. She shoved cloves of garlic in the meat and roasted them. They were delicious, not enough for the whole family but everyone got a taste. I was 15 then so any duck 🦆 that was legal I shot.

J Can't remember any difference in the weight of the fish and as I didn't catch one not sure of the fight either. I do remember that they came off the bottom. I remember mom didn't clean fish or any game. I know that.

flyguy. I don't believe dad would go offshore in lake Erie out of sight of land to catch suckers. I do remember out of sight of land as I was scared sh#!/@$$ but I had faith in my father.

Can anyone identify these fish caught in lake Erie in 1948 - 49 or 50. That's me FinFisherman holding the stringer of fish and I know I was less than 6 years old. This was a picture my dad took and he's gone 10 years ago, so no help from him. I had this photo printed 8x10 and the steel rod and reel hung on my bedroom wall. Don't know how old the rod and reel are but I know my dad didn't use the outfit in more than 60 years. I wanted to pass the rod & reel and photo on to my son when I pass. Any help would be great. Thanks guys

Thanks, I will pick up some Ivory tomorrow on way home from the Y.
Cancer is ruff I KNOW! I asked why Ivory soap. The Urology Doctor said Ivory has no perfume and no deodorant or other chemicals. Wish you well and hope it goes as well with your face as it went with my arm. I'm in my second round with internal cancer fight. I quit chemotherapy after two rounds which gave me heart and lung problems. They ran me in for another Petscan and Hemo Doctor said I was clear of cancer and the tumor on my right lung had not changed! I asked why what! He pointed up and I said God. He said he didn't know. So I am a believer now. He had given me a prognosis of 6 months. I will pray for you.
