From my "era" most certainly 2 years ago during the October mayhem at the Canal. Caught the last end of it and it was STILL amazing!

1680....wasn't that when John Smith wrote about the rivers being so full of bass you could walk on them? Salmon, codfish, halibut, swordfish, tuna, salters...all untouched....boggles the mind.

At least 200 years ago ... but must be on a day when the action is super hot, stripers going crazy and large ... and there are no hostiles of any sort in the area to cause trouble ... as I want to jettison in and out at will with my big fish, just enough so no one sees me.
I'd also go back to the Florida keys at least a 100 years or so with a flats skiff and guide on a high sun, southeast breeze at 5 mph, low mosquitos and lots of tarpon, permit and bonefish to nail on fly ... bring back some permit for my buddy to make permit ceviche ... it's awesome ...  |

First that came to mind was the night Tony S got his 73, I'd like to have been on that beach that night bailing 40 pounders and bigger.
But I am with Bob Thomas I think, the day on the canal a year and a half ago , I think it was a Wed., I missed it by one day. I would have loved to have been there that day instead of working in my shop and feeling like I was missing something. 
Back in 1620 sounds good too  |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Late 50's/early 60's......running the backside beaches in a 1948 Woody wagon with the likes of Frank Woolner, Arnold Laine, Ralph Gray, Stan Gibbs, Charlie Murat.......the list goes on and on!
Oh.....and I would have to have a supply of my plugs from today! (Picture me in a black and White photo standing by my buggy yet the plugs in the photo are in color?) Play Twilight Zone theme song!  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

I'd set the time machine for October 12, 1981 and beam myself and my truck to South Beach on the Vineyard, down towards Tisbury Great Pond.
Then'd I set it for the following week and aim myself at Pochet.

October 9 1999.....a backside beach, with my pal Bob Hunter
30-40# fish for hours till our arms were falling off....
Then lying in the sand laughing like little girls.....not believing what just happened
a night that will be hard to beat......and worth the ride on the time machine

It'd be pretty fun to go way back and do some shark fishing for a Megladon.
I'd love to go back to when I could be on a stick boat for swordfish right off the cape. Tuna fishing in the 50's would be pretty amazing also. If you could get em with a hand line, imagine how well some flouro would be. That would be a great way to get my first!

I would go back to the late 50's and fish the outerbanks with my grandparents. I never got the chance to fish with my grandmother beyond me with a snoopy rod. We have some movies they took the first few years they went down there when there was basically nothing but a gas station where the village of Avon is now.
Edit: I chose this based on the premise that I am the only one that gets on the time machine. If I can choose people to go with me it would be different. I just don't want to go back to 1368 by myself  |
No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

A certain area of a certain beach on the outter Cape June 28, 2005, 7:00am. I really can't imagine if it could get too much better then that. Beautiful, warm, sunny, calm, acres of big stripers rolling around from my feet to 100yrds out and a 1/4 mile in either direction. My brother decided to sleep in that morning.  |

I'd go back to 1990 - 1993. Thats when my Dad was at his best in the surf, I was 21 and partying with my friends. We actually passed each other a few times, I'd be leaving the Ocean Mist at 1am, he'd be heading to Carps. The best times of my life were fishing with him but we never night fished for bass together. I'd give almost anything to see him land a fish again.
