Fishdock.net---where
Fishing experiences--become--Catching
We are located
on the southwest corner of Muskegon Lake (Bluffton Bay) nestled on the
base of a peninsula. the bay extends to the channel connecting us to
Lake Michigan
. You can observe the daily activity of one of Michigan's surviving commercial fisheries and possibly even participate in the catching, processing, and producing fish that become Legends -----maybe even sample some of the product. The fishery is operated by the Jensen family in the style and manner established by one of the "Crazy Danes" My grandfather. Some 95 years ago he started fishing using the experience and training from participating in the "family business" on the North Sea off the coast of Denmark. Those were the days of sail power and wooden ships---only the men were steel. They weathered the storms--natural as well as man-made and persevered. Commercial fishers had to adapt, "learn the ropes", acquiring the skills to support the gear, nets,and vessels that are all the components of the overall industry. |
