Me sometime in High School

Me age 8
Dad running Ghost. 30 wooden Barlow

34 Ervin Jones. My dad had the sister to this one. He lost it to the bank and hauled his traps out of a 12 foot skiff. He ended giving me the skiff after he bought the 30 Barlow.

Great pictures Jerry, no wonder you have a boat addiction. Nothing better than being on the water.

It did start early! Anybody that has grown up commercial fishing can speak volumes of the life lessons learned on and off the water. So many moments I remember. The first time dad stepped away from the wheel and put a bucket down and had me run the boat in. First time docking. First time setting back a string. The reward of hard work, and the disappointment of a bad day fishing.

Probably one of those disposable cameras. Dad always had one on the boat. Do they even sell those anymore?
