these pics are great, thanks for sharing. I love seeing old pics like that.

thanks:cheers:

Thank You Very Much!
Eddy Felice.. the King of Pleasant Bay..
Howard Rogers!... yikes.. a name from the way back machine...
Think he was a selectman waaay back too.. when we had decent folk in those positions.

Thanks for the pics!

Thank you so much for sharing those pictures. It is one of my passions to collect old pictures and memorabilia from those days.

To better understand and promote the future of our sport we must preserve and protect the memory of the past and those who came before us.

Thanks for helping that cause.:claps:

Outstanding, thanks!

Makes me want to buy rubber waders again.... NOT.

Wonderful photos.

DZ

Wonderful pictures, those must have been some days.........
Thank you for sharing them with all of us.

thanks very much for posting them...

Great Shots,We will never see this again, Most of us missed these Nice Bass.

Tuna off the beach..........wow.

Great photos. I throughly enjoyed that. Those were some lucky guys.

great stuff thanks for sharing

GREAT photos... The history is great.... It must have been amazing to be part of that.....

Your welcome Guys.... Bob's told me some great stories of him staying on the beach for weeks in the summer with his father and other guys too when his father was working. Looked like great times, wish I had experienced it.

Very cool! 48lbr in Pleasant Bay and tuna of the beach are incredible!

Wow, really great photos. That was fishin! Indeed those were the days...esp for surfcasting all along the coast.

Today between the private property, the beach restrictions, poor quality of fish, over fishing and a weak DMF we have what we have today.

IMO this situation will not get better in our lifetime.

Thanks for sharing.

Great pictures.... thanks for sharing

AAAAA freikin men! Awesome stuff!


Jumpin Jesus on a pogo stick don't stop now!

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll load them into the gallery but don't want them buried under my ID. Is there a way to make a folder in there with a sticky for old time photos so everyone can add some? Slip? JohnR?

Fish4Striper - Great Awesome Photos - really tugs at the soul ;)

So yes - based on your request I have created a new gallery category for classic photos:

http://www.striped-bass.com/gallery/


Thanks!!!

Thanks bossmon, will load to there. Anyone else with old classic photos, please add too!!!

Awesome pictures ! Thanks for putting them on site.

I really enjoyed those shots....thanks...

Thank-you so much for those pictures, they really took me back to my happy place.:happy: I remember those guys driving around out the Race as a kid. I thought that they were supermen with those giant fish. Tell me, where in P-town was Joe and Natalie's Texaco. I pumped gas at Duarte's Texaco in the center of town on Bradford in my teens. He had 3 dealerships at that time ,too. Olds, Chevy and of course Jeep. Again thanks!

Great Stuff!


:thanks:

Best thread in a long time. Thank you for posting. :jump:

Great pictures !
I like the old Willy's Jeeps also !!!

What a treat! Thank you.
Reminds me of my dad, coming home from a weekend of fishing with a trunk load of cow stripers. Early to mid 60's.

Hard to believe it wasn't all too long ago...thanks, those are some terrific shots!

Did a double yake on some of those shots. Pergo almost looks like Milo....

Great pics, i waited till they all downloaded on dial up and it was well worth the wait.

Memories -- wish I could find my old stuff. :lossinit: One good night would fill the buggy and the run to Chatham was on - always tried to get there first. Most of those fish ended up in New York. Dose wuz da days!:btu:

Wow, thanks for sharing those.
What a great time that must have been. Anyone have any 8mm from those days?, that would be so awesome to watch.

Great pictures !
I like the old Willy's Jeeps also !!!

When I broke into the Autobody biz, I musta repaired 50 of those rot boxes. Hated them then, would love to have one now.

Terrific, thanks for sharing.

a cute little tail light they had for those rigs....

my oldest brother had a couple of them

i wondered why he liked them ....i see why now.

Ok guys, I added to the Old Time Classic folder, please add you have.

Bob said Joe and Natalie Roderick's Texaco was on the corner of Rt 6 and Conwell St. near the old A & P

This was great. My father was in the AF and my folks lived in N. Truro and P'town in the mid-50's. He wasn't a fisherman and when I've asked he wasn't real aware of the fisher community there at that time, but took a fair amount of slides and 8 & super-8 movies. It's nice to know and see how fishing thrived back then. Thanks.

Sweet! I love those old school photos! Good Thread!

fantastic thread

Very cool, I will try to get some up of my grandparents and friends. Mostly Hatteas, Nantucket and Jersey. Nice icon Zacs

I want a Willy's. They are so hard to find in good condition these days.

Thank you so very much for sharing the wealth contained in those pics. Made my day and more.

great stuff,,, reminds me of the days i spent fishing Pompanessett and some other cape spots with my grandfather

A couple things have been brought to my mind since these great pictures have been posted.. well, more than a couple.. but Howard Rogers.. Orleans Beach Taxi, former Selectman... and, one of the Charter Members of the MBBA, and it's first President, if you ever see the MBBA logo.. the beach buggy in the logo, is Howard's, the number 34 on the door, was Howard's MBBA #.
Also.. Eddie Felice, this tidbit courtesy of the Senior Angler.. when he lived in Chatham, he lived in the scorekeepers booth at the ball field, so if you have ever been to a Chatham A's game in the summer, you have been close to some old time angling history, as well.

Time for my hike, see what comes out of the memory bank on my walk.

Wow, some of those are just pigs!!!! Great photos!

Fish4Stripers, Priceless, a time of wonderous memories, I have some great shots of me grandpap from hatteras as well as out west for trout back in the day when there were not many roads. I love the old pictures. I wish I had had 1 day to spend with my grandfather in the salt as I think of him alot when I am fishing long nights on the beach and actually think he is watchin over me. thanks!!!

Great pic. Charlie Murat and his son-in-law Dave Hammock had a ton of pictures like these. I don't know where they went when Dave died.

There was always the stories around Murats of Pergio and "Pergio swirls"

Those old photos should encourage everyone to take more photos of their own fishing exploits. After all, someday we'll be calling what we've got right now "the good old days."

Valentine

Thanks for the old pictures!!!
Brings back memories of going fishing with my fater adn brother!!!
Time was in the mid 50's (57) and we would go to portsmouth,N.H.
and rent a rowboat for the AM. We would row maybe a mile out in the bay and anchor and start catching flounder non-stop with drop lines for a couple of hours!! Best part was loading up to big burlap bags with flounder (no limit back then) and going home to be met by all the neighbors knowing that we would share them!!!
Those were the days!!! I can still smell the fish and those burlap bags!!!
