For those of you who fished the Cape in the 70s thru the early 2000s, Tony was a fixture on the back beaches. Had a silver Toyota pickup that was always on the "front". Good guy and a good striperman. I last fished with him in 2004 on The Block. he was 82 and hadn't fished much the last few years.
RIP Tony

Tony was a good guy, met him through George Carlezon. Those two would rib each other endlessly. I hadn't seen him in a few years either; Rudy Sawyer of the MBBA approached me last year at the MSBA show and asked about him, and we found that he had shacked up with a well off woman (on the block?) and had pretty much stopped fishing. RIP.

I remember Tony. He fished strictly plugs if I remember correctly. Used to see him set up on the Race and second rip all the time. RIP.

Yeah Mike, 2nd rip was his place - that's where he was last time I saw him. And no stinky bait for him...

You have it correct.He met a woman who had a number of acres and a house on the Block. Told me she wouldn't let him fish.

RIP......IT ISN'T LIKE IT USE TO BE..........

RIP Tony! He was a great guy and fisherman. I loved his stories about "the good old days" on the grand back beach. He told me once that he had two fifties one night at Chatham. I will miss him. Steve
* PS- I have to start reading the newspaper( obits) more!

R I P Tony I met Tony years ago at Chatham inlet, always fishing plugs. He loved the sinker Rebels on the outgoing tide and could show up a lot of guys.
I,ll never forget coming down late Saturday after work in late July to fish the inside with sand eels. When i showed up at (the spot) it was already kind of taken and Tony said PULL IN HERE NEXT TO ME which i did. It was the first time i saw tony fishing with bait,which means things where slow.
Well the fish Gods where with me because i started catching bass ,one after the other and when Tony got up Sunday morn and came out of his camper i had yet another rod go off.
Needless to say that was about the only time i out fished Tony side by side.
Rest in peace Tony,I,ll never forget you
