Boy, you guys are some really old pharts if you remember that...

.........

Winter flounder are about as rare as tarpon up here anymore

Ah, the good old days - I remember going to Tolman and Macks waiting for them to throw the monkfish overboard - - it was trash fish then - and stomping on their backs when they washed up on the boat ramp to see if we could get 'em to spit up some squid...

...which we used to put in a tin bucket and ride our bikes to Jagschitz's bait shop at King's Park and try to swap for fishing stuff ...

Yeah, try to tell kids that today and they won't believe ya...

"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.
