Commercial dishing business continues from Lake Huron community Fish marketer Wayne Forbes carves up a fish caught in Lake Huron. Story and photos by Fred Groves T -A stars' GRAND BEND - In about an- other month's time, the sailboats and the big powerboats will be dip- ping into the water in Grand Bend. But for now, the only vessels which venture down the narrow Ausable River and out onto Lake Huron, are commercial fishing boats. Every spring, several of the hulk- ing boats come into the harbour and stay until it's time for them to move on. Wayne Forbes a local fish mar- keter awaits patiently for the boats to come in with their day's catch. He greets the fishermen with a smile as the men drag the heavy tubs of fresh fish into his shop. "Whatever I want," said Forbes of his choice of fish. "I don't get it all, I just take what I want." In his shop, Forbes works like an artist scaling and cutting up the fish. While he works masterfully on a three -pound white fish, he stops and walks over to a cooler and grabs a 22 -pound lake trout: The variety is there and that's what Forbes seems to like. ; Just a few of the many boats that line the docks in Grand Bend.

A Rules in commercial fishing as far as retail selling go, are not as stiff as in poultry and beef when an inspector has to be present at all times during the processing. "The only time there is an inspec- tion, is when it comes over the bor- der." Forbes just started up his year- round fish market after taking a well deserved rest. "I came here (Grand Bend) in 1981 but I went out of business and went back last June." ' Venturing into other businesses including truck driving and running a restaurant.: he came back to the fish mail0ltL ---- "I got overworked, I was doing too many things." of the Mar -Vel -Ann before Doug took over the 20 year-old boat, son Ken works on the boat and brother Gary is the skipper of the Kristy Lynn, another fishing boat which usually accompanies the Mar -Vel - Ann to various ports. Goodison's home is Sarnia but he goes where the fish are. He'll spend about three to four weeks in Grand Bend catching white fish on Lake Huron before heading to Kingsville where he and his crew will haul in pickerel off of Lake Erie. "I can't get back to Sarnia be- cause of the ice," said Goodison who has a few nets actually under the ice. "We used to stay here until June but the harbour isn't that good." "The species has changed. There was blue pickerel in Lake Erie when 1 started but it's almost disappeared, it's a cycle." Commercial operation: The commercial fishing industry de- pends on Doug Goodison and his crew from the Mar -Vel -Ann to go out every morning and work very hard to bring in the day's catch. Once back on the docks in Grand Bend, they sell it to Forbes and oth- er local fish marketers. "It's better to buy it off the boat, it's cheaper," said Forbes. And don't forget about fresher. While summer usually means the smells of . recreational boats with their canvas sails and the stench of diesel fuel and gas to power the others, spring time has the definite aroma of fish. Goodison has been a fisherman for 41 years, and shaking his head at his longevity, he explains how it has become a family business. His father Harold was the captain Commerical fishermen have a yearly quota which they can not ex- ceed or they have to pay for it. Goodison has been fairly pleased with the catch this spring off of Lake Huron. "The white fish are very plentiful but the market is deteriorating so we'll be heading back to Lake Erie." A veteran of the waters for over four decades, Goodison has seen the difference in the type of fish be- ing caught. "The species has changed. There was blue pickerel in Lake Erie when I started but it's almost disap- peared,it's acycle" White fish, pike, pickerel, trout; the wafers of Lake Huron and Lake Erie have a lot to offer. It's not a lu- crative business but one which keeps men wor)ing. ECT E/ I CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS Kime, Mills, Dunlop. Chartered Accountants Daniel B. Daum, B.A., M.Acc., C.A.
