A long time way back I was fishin Rhody in my old Vega. Some may remember the pumpkin. Orange with green rod racks.It was the early 70's. i'd run into Tim at the Top of the Dock that morning an he's told me of some nice fish at The Light.That was what the Galalee light was called back then. i had some new P-40's Bob had given me to try so I went down that eve. I was sleepin in my car when Tim knocked on my window. He laughed an said come on kid your gonna miss the tide.He saw the new 40's an showed me the one he had on his rod. bob had given him a couple the week before an he was usin them along with some rebels.He told me to work from the right of the light an cast the 40 to the left an let it drift around. He gave me the ist drift with him right behind me. i lost my ist fish he got his. A nice fat one that he put back looked in the 20s.We had fish till the tide slacked an were there alone as a front was coming with lots of rain an wind.I lost 4 P-40s with fish in the rocks to the left but landed one of my ist fish over 45 lb which he helped me land.We got some sweet fish that night an the next one too. a couple of his Block friends were there the next night. i still remember him lettin me have the ist drift. It was a lesson I've repeated for others many times since.
Thanks Tim Tight lines an hope the fishing is good where you are. the kid----Ron
