I remember that Gadabout had a commercial on his show offer to send in $1.00 and you got 4 freshwater lures. So I got 4 quarters and taped them on a letter and got a stamp from my mother and sent it off.

When you are 8 you think the lures will come in 2 days. Well it took 6 weeks which seemed like 6 months and I had given up- then the padded envelope showed up. I have such a strong memory of this. One of the lures was just a goldfish, one was a flatfish. With little plastic treble protectors.

I caught some fish with them in summer camp in the Catskills.

Fishing has been good to me.
