No. My beer of choice is schooner. Good guess, I am a lobster fisherman. Well maybe not that good of a guess.That's the only thing that's really left on the East coast to fish for. The government has just about messed up everything else.

Yes I agree. Which do you prefer, fresh or salt water fishing?

I've done more of fresh water fishing, but I like salt water because the fish are larger and it's more exciting! :guitarist

I fish as much fresh water in the summer as I can because, come winter I am on the salt and there's no enjoyment in that but that's when the money is made.

What kind of fish do you catch for sale?

Commercial fishing can be dangerous, can it not? Have you ever been out in very stormy seas?:(

I am a lobster fisherman. Yes I have been out in very bad weather. During the first three weeks of the season is where we make out money and that is when most of the chances are taken.I have been out fishing in over 100 km wind(60 mph) Our boat is only 13.7 meters(45') and that's allot of wind for a boat that size.

Hey, Fisher, glad you joined us!! I like to fish also. Icefishing around here is pretty good, but I don't get much chance to fish in the summer...it would take away time from my motorcycle!! Can't have that!!

Welcome, and hope you find FG as much fun as the rest of us do! :yh_peace
