I've been on a fishing boat, literally, since I could walk. I grew up around it right so we were on boats all the time. I used to go out like I was probably only five years old dad used to take me fishing every once in a while. I worked with my father on a fishing boat for eight years.

Arnold Wilcox, skipper up the Unforgettable You 2. He's been coming with me since oh I don't know, three, four years old, I guess. He would always be full of piss and vinegar, the first couple hours in the boat, and then he go to bunk and then sometimes he wouldn't see him for six hours later.

IIt wasn't until after grade 12 that I actually started full full time so starting in May, going right till the end. Yeah, it was a good experience. It's a lot of work. We used to haul 413 traps a day, so used to be about 1314 hour days. You do that for six days a week, you have Sunday off. So it was a lot of hours but again, it was only nine weeks so you got through it fairly quickly. I used to really like it as a kid so I don't know what changed, I guess difference from being just like a day on the boat to actually being work, I guess probably ruin the joy in it a bit. Probably when I got into high school, I guess doing it maybe full time kind of realized. I realized that yeah, this is not really for me. I love being on the water. I love being in the boat, but just that kind of work is not really where my interest lies. So I kind of lost my passion for it. When I first started I hated when it started. I hated looking forward to having to get up at like 230 in the morning then working till like four. I don't know if I loved it. I did it, it was good pay. It was nice working with my dad too but I thought when I was younger, I'd probably stick with it. But I don't think that's me these days. It's just not my kind of work really. I like being indoors. I like being outside but like that kind of work is you're exposed to the elements like for hours in a day right. And your wet most of the time, cold especially in the springtime. It's just that's I'd much rather be inside warm and dry that's kind of my thing. That I remember being in the car with my dad one day, just being like yeah, I don't know if I want to lobster fish or not. He's totally okay with that. He's like, that's fine. Do what you want to do.

He threatened me the last couple of years with it and this year he followed through.

3:25  
We were thinking that he wouldn't that he'd be kind of sad. And I'm sure he was a little bit but he didn't show it and he was very supportive. He's like Yeah, you do what you want to do. No, you don't have to fish.

3:41  
I guess I don't know it was grad 10 or 11 he come fishing like as soon as school would be over he'd fish with me. And then when he finished grade 12 he fished with me lobster and crab every year, except this year.

4:00  
But I'm sure back in the mind he was probably like, ah. And he still says today he's like, well, we'll be there you know, if you ever change your mind, I'll have the license type of thing. But no, as of right now, it's definitely on the bottom of my list of things to do. I like the nine to five. Definitely a good change. There's something about it being the same all the time. That's really good. It's been interesting. I never thought I'd find myself in radio, but here we are. 1270  CJCB hey, I'm Chad Wilcox and that was Vince Gill with what the cow girls do. And good morning Cape Breton it is now 10 after seven and five degrees this morning, not a bad morning out there at all.

4:48  
Yep, it was, was more or less expecting, right, but anyway.  It is what it is.

4:59  
But no, he was really supportive and he wasn't that kind of person that push things. You know what I mean? When it came to fishing, because you do what you want to do and hopefully you like doing it. Probably in my dad's eyes he probably hoped it would be it was passed down from his father to him. And then I'm sure, I'm sure he'd assume that it'd be passed down to me.  It would be fantastic if I liked it, because I would be set with a job essentially, and a fairly good paying job. But as of right now, I'm just not interested in this, sadly.

5:35  
You know, a lot of kids that didn't have that opportunity. Young boys around here, we're really interested in it right? So then I just assume that he will grab onto too. I always told my kids I think, do what they want to do honestly put their heart into it, you know what I mean? But on the other side of the coin, I hate to see him work a pile hours in different jobs. When I know he can make probably more money doing what I'm doing.
