58corvette Posted February 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Hi Linda; Glad this Post helped Lift your Spirits. Being Our Own Field Of Dreams im sure we will find Plenty Of Company & Any Position we wish to Play & Enjoy.You remember in the Movie Shoeless Joe Jackson Appeared. One of the All-Time Great Major League Ball Player's who's own Career was cut Short by The "Black Sox Scandal" of 1918 I believe. Sad because he really wanted no part of it & He Just LOVED to Play The Game Of Baseball. And the Dr. who also had his Career in Baseball Cut Short by a Chain of Events. Another True Story.Ken Burns also Wrote his Book & Later a Documentary on The History Of Baseball & All Of it's Meaning. For me Baseball is Something I got into on my Own around 7yrs to 8yrs. Old. That & other Sports in General was not only Something I Loved, But an Escape. Kept me Going through High School.Part of the Problem was I never was able to see it as a Business & that along with my Older Brothers Sudden death took my Life in another Direction & cut my "Career" Short. So for me Baseball will always be Very Dear to me in many ways. Just Playing For THE LOVE OF THE GAME. A Nine Inning Game to me is a Lot Like Life Itself.One of the things I told All Three of My Children as they entered High School was to Find Something you Enjoy that Helps keep you Motivated Through Very Difficult Teen & High School Years. Whether it be Sports, Drama, Anything that you may have an Interest in. I believe it helped them.Also Linda I not sure if you read another new post from loneone yet? If you get a chance you may be able to relate to her some & helpout?Thanx Again.Sincerely; Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindamomof7 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 I lived on a lagoon as you already know and do you know what I miss the most? Watching and listening to the ducks, seagulls and geese that became my backyard buddies. Also I can still see the shimmer of the water as I fished on a very calm night right before dusk when the water is so calm and you can see the fish swim right beneath the top of the water. I caught many perch back then although I HATE eating fish, I would catch crabs, softshell crabs and the dreaded snapping turtles who always got caught in my crab traps, oh I hated those creatures!!!! I'm feeling really really low and emotional today and I am so hoping these past good memories help me through the day.... Thanks for the memories ... Have a good day Jim.....

58corvette Posted February 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 That is really Cool Stuff. A Woman who Loves Sports & Loves to Fish. After My Own Heart Linda. The Memories you have are Vivid & Fantastic to me. I definitely can Relate & it is what makes the Sea so Amazing.I dont enjoy eating all fish. But there are many I catch that are Very Good. Especially Cod. Years ago while on a Fishing Boat of the Pacific Coast a Man from India Taught me how to take the Fishy Taste out of Fish & even some of the worst tasting Fish are Good.Put the Fish in Boiling Water with Garlic for a bit & then after that Cook it any way you want. It Works very well. I did it with Bonita. A Fish that is very Oily, Fishy & Red. Just generally not a good tasting fish at all. It came out Great & Tasted Excellent.Anyway Thank You for Your Responce & Sharing your Memories Linda. Helping me also as I continue to work through some Tough Days.The Very Best To You ALWAYS!!!Sincerely; Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

58corvette Posted February 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Again So Very Cool. I love reading, sharing & learning from your Own memories & Experiences.My Older brother (Who taught me so very well How to Fish) & I used to go to a Harbor & get Muscles off the pillings. We would then Shell them, put them in a Jar & use it as Bait Either at the Jetty Next to the Harbor or the Pier not far away.This was in the 60's when fishing off the Coast near where I used to live was still Very Good. Lot's of Variety of Fish. That has all Changed Sadly from Pollution & Over Fishing. Now the Fishing in them Areas is Terrible & the fish are Generally Fish that is not very Edible. Such as TomCod, Sandshark, Mackerel.One thing I would do(as i got Older) every chance I would get is take Pictures of My Catch so it was'nt just another "Fish Story".A Funny Memory is when I was in another State of my Brother In laws. I caught a Decent Size Fish in their Local River. His Dad had me String it up on their Cloths Line & then Step Back a Few Feet with my Hand looking like I was Holding the Fish by the Mouth. When the picture was Developed this "Method" made the Fish look about Three Times as Large than it really was. So along with your Crab Story; Their's another FishTail........... Good Stuff!!!:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

58corvette Posted February 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 When you did all this was it Usually by yourself & or with your Dad?Now I also understand more as to why you had some Nightmare in regards to crabs. Did you use the Crabs for Bait Also or Eat them at all?Sincerely; Jim :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanrucas Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 One of my favorite memories was when I hiked up Mt. Thielson here in Oregon, we made it to the base of the peak..so peaceful and serene. The feeling of being just above the clouds was like nothing I can describe. I wish I was there now.
