Old Fishermen Never Die
A Personal Introduction
While I have no personal experience with commercial fishing, I have spent a lot of time in Del Norte County, especially after my parents moved there when I was in grad school. One of my favorite activities was to head to the Crescent City harbor, camera in hand, to take pictures of the boats, the birds and animals, and the activity.
