Steve....your post makes me want to pack up and move back to the Queen Charlotte Islands !
I was reluctant to post on your started topic. Every time I view the posts my mouth would start to drool for the fresh taste of Salt Water food.
Nothing beats fresh and I do mean
Fresh Sea Food either caught off the hook, crabbing with a string line with either a fish head or chicken livers, or using the crab box or pyrimid traps, or the occasional walking the docks and scooping up the Blue Claws of the bulkheads.
Ahhhhhhh the good old days of digging clams in the shallows by using a clam rake or tongs, or jumping overboard after anchoring and wading in chest high water digging the clams with your feet, and then reaching down to pick it up and then placing it in a bushel basket floating in an old car inner tube.
Another thing I enjoyed doing was crabbing at night with my buddy on his 19-foot CC Bayliner on a nice calm bay under the bridges. Nothing like coming back with 2-3 bushels of crabs after midnight.
Those days are long gone now since I chose a different life style, but those memories will last a lifetime.
Great topic started by you Reeves, and I like the way it is continuing. Maybe some day I'll hit the Atlantic Coast again, but until then it is just fond memories.
