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.

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.

on the willy's tailight
 

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

Old Days Trivia..
 

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."
