They can be scary. I ran a turtle line every summer Sold a couple ton every year..at about 6 cents a lb..that was a lot of money to a kid in 1958 -1960. I also crabbed in the summer. Eeled in the spring and lived outside almost all year. Had my first boat in 1957. 24 ft bay built inboard skiff. Had a Palmer hit and miss engine. Anybody ever read the Old Man and the Boy?? That book was fiction of course..but I lived a life just about like that..without the old man. I had a lot of teachers...from the old Black man or two to my father and some of the most odd characters you could imagine. It was an awful hard life..LOL.. I either had a 22 rifle or a fishing rod with me almost every day.. I used them both well. Didn't need a fishin license till I was 16 but had a huntin license..county wide only at the age of 9..and it cost 1 dollar and 25 cents. Got my first statewide license when I was 13..cost 5 25 and I really thought I was impotent then..
