LaBlance Fish Tales Two

These tales are drawn from the author's commercial fishing adventures on the Great Lakes with his family. Their Dad and Mom taught them the value of good, hard work, and expected everyone to work on the fish tugs. Their lives were shaped by moving around to "follow the fish" from Lake Michigan to Lake Huron and Lake Superior.

These tales are just a small window into the lives of commercial fishermen on the Great Lakes. Their Dad and Mom taught them the value of good, hard work, and expected everyone to work on the fish tugs. Their lives were shaped by moving around to "follow the fish" from Lake Michigan to Lake Huron and Lake Superior. LaBlance's "Fish Tales Two" is a collection of fishing stories with an element of truth in each — you just have to find it. The author has also included stories from his dad, old newspaper clippings, and his firsthand perspective. Fish tales in this book also include stories from his brothers Mike, Robert, Jim, Albert, his sister Catherine, and his wife Deborah, and his cousin James Muscott.

Peter LaBlance was born in October 1948 in Charlevoix, Michigan. He entered this world as a very sick baby, receiving the Catholic last rites twice before going home. His family has a long history in the commercial fishing business on the Great Lakes, and he is a proud member of the Mackinaw Band of Chippewa Indians. He hopes he was able to put readers on the fish tug with him.
