I can always remember fishing. My mom and dad liked to fish and camp. Seems like every weekend during the summer we would go to one of the campgrounds on the cape and go to the beach or canal to fish and swim. When I was 16, my grandmother passed away. I inherited her car and my younger brother and I got a 14 foot lonestar tin boat with a 30 horse on it. We fished Wareham and the Weweantic river every chance we got. Time passed, the bass slowed down (weakfishing in the river was spectacular in the late '70's). Still caught some bass. I worked a couple years in a factory after I got out of highschool. I saved some $$ and moved to west yarmouth and attended the community college in barnstable. Did alot of fishing at sea gull beach (down the street from where I lived). After getting out of school, I met my wife and moved to brockton. My brother got married and moved from foxboro to south attleboro. I bought a truck and because my wife liked to fish, we would go to the canal and fish for bass...still do. My brother has a 22 foot boat. He takes me out 3-4 times a year..cape cod bay, cuttyhunk, narraganset bay and block island. I fish the canal whenever I can (I make time) may to november. My wifes from middleboro, her brothers like to fish, get herring permits and we all have a good time fishing in the canal when the herring are in. I love fishing.
