Good to know info!

Thanks, BB. I'm heading to Pensacola tomorrow with my sister and mother for a week-long girls' getaway, part of which will include fishing. I plan to take Mark's advice about enjoying the water and protecting my skin at the same time.

Great information and thanks for posting this article. I'm in my 60s and have been in the sun practically all of my life. I learned the hard way and am still paying the price. After having four skin cancers of various types surgically removed and I don't know how many pre-cancerous "spots" frozen, I do make an attempt to protect myself now!

Kingfish1: Thanks for your kind words. Redy2Fish: Glad to hear you're still going strong and using wisdom about sun protection along the way now. Good job!

Good article.......very informative, I know most of us don't give this a thought and we should. Thank you for pointing out the dangers of the sun to us and offering us protective measures.

Our family has learned the hard way about protection from the Sun.
Rebecca,
This a very well written article and if I may add a little bit.....
Once you have been treated for skin cancer, insist on a regular regimine of checkups. My sister had melanomas removed from her back 15 years ago. The docs said "they got it all". It returned in the lympthnodes last October. It killed her last June.
Thanks for the reminder. We should bring this subject up at least monthly so all will keep it fresh on the minds.

Thanks for the article Rebecca. I'm on the long side of 64 and have been dealing with squamous cell for about ten years now and many surgeries. I now fish in long sleeve shirts, long pants, a buff and wide brimed hat. Maybe some of the younger fishemen will read your article and take better care of themselves.
