My dad got me started in the mid sixties. We use to travel by boat out of Bay Shore to a place located on the south shore of Long Island called the Sore Thumb. What a special place it was. We also fished the Great South Bay. You wouldn't believe the amount of Weakfish, Blowfish and Kingfish that were present in this once great estuary. My brother was a Baymen along with thousands of others at that time. Nowadays , there might be a half dozen Baymen plying these same waters. I'll leave that subject for another post.
