Can you get it down south?). Boats similar to ours with A Second deck on top. Anyway, have you ever eaten scallops raw? They have to be really fresh but good. We normally cook them the same as you do in the photo on this post I am replying to. However, 3 minutes in a pan with a little stirring – Does the trick. <BR/>Nice Whale pictures you have on the more recent posts. I have never gotten a photo (I don’t take a camera nor have time to do that on the boat much. Lynn did get a photo of a blue whale when we were dating many years back. While fishing mackerel last fall, Dad and I see a 65 foot whale breaching well over a dozen times. Not just the usual little splash. This guy was coming full body out of the water over 10 feet with his tail flapping back and forth in mid air. Not often we see something like that. Must run it’s late. I fell asleep at 9pm and woke up at 11:45 and realized my son (16) was still on the phone to a girl he keeps in touch with from Ontario. Oh yes - not impressed! Anyway, he is a sensible kid, but he called her back after 10 pm (with the time change it’s earlier there) when he knew that was a no-no. I run him to bed, But after laying there wide awake for 30 minutes I just had to get up as DW has to be up at 4:45 for work tomorrow as well, and I did not want to keep her awake again.<BR/>With some species closure I am sure you are frustrated. We have gone through that up here with COD. Anyway and it looks like EEL’s might be hit soon. The Water DAMS in the Saint Lawrence river are chopping up the elvers, and they want us to stop fishing them so they can repopulate. Ok with around 2000 dams and the turbines chopping out a mortality rate of 40-50% of the eels that pass through to go and spawn. Like where is the problem here?Andy Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02600966193892588231noreply@blogger.com
