Oh, those were the days!! My family is from Painesville/Fairport, and we had a boat when I was a kid. I remember fishing for perch with treble hooks...and reeling in 3 at a time!!! On tin foil, baloney, minnows, whatever we had for bait!! We would catch enough in the fall to freeze for Friday all through Lent!! Fairport has a beautiful lighthouse at the top of the hill (Lighthouse Hill, the best sledding spot around :D ) It has never been in use that I can remember, but you can tour it and its just cool! I can't wait to retire and go back "home"...only 10 years or so to go :lol: :lol:

Thanks Renee, for the memories :D
