Flaptail, Nice article!
Nice article in OTW this month about Arnold Laine 
I learned a lot. Amazing individual to have such a strong impression on so many in just a few years surfcasting. |
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.

I thought it was a well written article that provided some great Cape history.

From the first of his contributations I`ve allways thought Steve was the best OTW had. This guy really knows his stuff. He never disapointed.

Thanks, it was fun to do but I was just the coordinator of this piece. If it wasn't for Karl F, Tony C., #^&#^&#^&#^& Samms, Al Bentsen, Stan Kuzia, Adam R and Peter O'Niel's help I couldn't have put this together.
I hope to do more of these in the future and preserve the past through making more people aware of this sports history.
Thanks everyone that helped.

Nice story Steve. I especially enjoyed the line "this must have seemed much better a proposition than spending all his time in a machine shop". The guy knew what he was talking about What is it with striper fishing and machinist's there has been quite a few greats that called it their trade. I bet a lot has to do with being cooped up inside all day that you really excel at anything outdoors when you get the opportunity. As always though there are exceptions to the rules and I will keep my day job.  |

A guy at work used to fish the cape in the old days with his father every summer, you guys might know him. His name is Felice from Woonsockett. He has some pictures from the old days if your interested.

Eddy Felice...That name is well known, for sure!
I would love to see those pictures, as I am sure Steve and TC, and a few other history buffs would.

Brought a tear to my eye. My dad knew Arnie well. I met him but I was only 5 or 6 years old so I don't remember much. There was always talk at Murat's about Mr. Lane. To hear some of the "legends" of the surf on the Cape call Arnold "the best" really tells you how good he really was. Even old Charlie was in awe of him.
Great write Steve!!

Nice job Steve, a good read. Hey is it true he was an very accomplished surfcaster?
I too enoyed the old time pics. Luv them ole Willy's.
In the article what strikes me the most and what I miss having been around for is access/freedom on and to the shore.  |
