I miss the old days

Feeling nostalgic this afternoon. Sometimes the angle of the sun, the clouds, the wind, the whole thing reminds me of times passed.
I had a lot of surf partners over 50 years but 2 of the best were Gil Guillitone from Narragansett and Bryan Oakley from Newport.


Just wish we could go back. Such great times in the middle of the night.
Throwing Timber calls from the Point at 2 AM to say the bite is on.
Spencer has a bird nest of biblical proportions at the Palisades again in the middle of the night and Nebe goes for a swim after a 25# for me in the same place and almost gets washed away,

I could write a book. Not even mentioning the Cape beaches with BackBeach, Tony C, George Calzone, Lanny Grazinni, Jerry Place, NJ Charlie, NY Ed, Stevie Mills.

Fishing Carpenters in 2003 with Tony Palliotti and Tommy McGuire and we catch 100, 15 to 20# bass and let all of them go.

Just nothing like that happens anymore. It truly was the best of times and I thank God I got to do it with some of the best Stripermen on earth.




No boat, back in the suds.
