Dave in 85' we were already spending weekends on Crab remember? Glo tubes and wd-40. No channel markers in Pleasant Bay and only a dozen seals on the bar at Chatham Inlet.\
"Who getz the BL*w Job?" could be heard all the way back to Nauset
600 lbs average dressed out gutted and gilled and Seagull blasting with my wrist rocketn and 3/8 hex nutz when they got too close.
