Photo I had touched up from my Cousin Jim Lane.

Uncle Vince going Troutin with his Bamboo Pole.

Grandpa fished of Brista Cove until Fishery Products Came.

Could not Compete with The Trawlers and jobs at the Fish Plant were Plentiful.

Closer to Home.Men used to spend Summers fishing at Brista Cove.

All the Shacks are long gone.

Brista Cove is located of the Road between The Drook and Cape Race.

Trepassey Men travelled on foot between Trepassey and Brista Cove about 14 miles.

Rowed out to their Cod Traps in dories. Ate plenty of Fresh Fish and fresh Bread.

The Late Lou Hartery used to Haul the Salt Cod from Brista Cove to St John’s by Truck.Another Way of Life gone .All that remains is the Memories.
