Title: A relic of days gone by
Post by: grandpawrichard on November 05, 2015, 10:08:09 AM: I took this photo on Lopez Island (here in Washington State). It is a relic of the old Reef Fishing Fleet of days gone by.

My Uncle worked on one of these old boats when he was about 14 years old. He is now 84. :) I'm printing it out in 8" X 10", matting it and framing it for a Christmas Present for him. :)

The reef netters are still out there in the summer, just on the left hand side of your photo. Not sure if there's anything in the water now that would point to the spot, but they still actively work that reef when the fish are moving through.
