Grunden's is tough to beat for no nonsense commercial gear - I bought a sou'wester hat to go with my splash top.

I'll tell ya, I like it better than an attached hood - it doesn't ruin your peripheral vision and at night you need all the help you can get on the rocks.

Mrs Crafty thought I looked like something between the Gorton's of Gloucester guy and the gaffer in the Graves Point Fishing Club photo from 1881 we do - talk about retro.

Personally, I think I look like Manwell, the Portuguese cod-fisherman Spencer Tracy played in Captains Courageous

	"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
