The only fishing I ever did was deep sea fishing one time - - - and it stormed - the boat rocked and rolled - and I got SICK!

And what went on inside of them. Thanks for sharing this with your readers. I found it fascinating...and yes...romantic in it's own way. Sounds like a fun cozy way to be together. And the comraderie is something you'd never get in a fancy snooty restaurant.<br />You and Far Guy are so blessed to have grown up learning how to do go winter fishing in a dark house.<br /><br />~Lisa<br /><br />Ps Thanks for all the wonderful comments, encouragement, and words of advice you've given me over at my blog. They are what I needed to hear and are much appreciated :)<br /><br /><br />~LisaLaughing Orca Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562627840013868980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-91346259718902024192010-01-20T13:26:28.232-06:002010-01-20T13:26:28.232-06:00Great story!

I love the stories of the fish houses that sound more like condos, with TVs, couches, cots, and tables to play cards while waiting.Maery Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09897994913879836634noreply@blogger.com
