Clammer is right on the money...

I knew who Paulie was but never met him until we had our booth at the RISAA Show for the old Angler's Art and my wife and I talked to him and his brother, I think it was - his depth of knowledge on Narragansett Bay is pretty amazing

I'd be happy to know just the stuff he's forgotten along the way - believe me, like Clammer said, he is a character but you'll be in for an education and some entertainment - what you won't hear is BS and a lot of pontificating

Paulie's one of the last of a kind, descended from a long line of baymen

If you're in the area or have a chance to get over that way, do it - I'm gonna see if I can make it over myself

"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.
