My first boat fishing was done at the mouth of the Housatonic River in central CT. We could rent a small boat with a 15 hp motor, and catch flatfish double headers all day long, on these big, clunky, spreader bars that looked like huge coat hangers.
We would chum with cat food and kernel corn. Lots of the fish we caught would have corn in their stomachs.
Haven't caught one in over 30 years, closer to 35. Hoping to get to Boston Hahbah this year to change that.
