Thanks for the good news.
I live close to the old shop in S attleboro and would go there regularly. There was supposed to be a limit to the number of seconds you could buy but he never enforced it unless there was suspicion you were reselling. It was like a trip to the tackle shop. I had a 5 gallon pale full of Atom poppers but liked to go ther to talk to him and see what was new.
His big thing was Stripers Unlimited. I had the hooded sweatshirt with the logo.
He used to talk about tranplanting fish from I think the Chesapeak to the Ct River. I think that was successful because I belive there is a small amount of spawning that happens there now. he also talked about one of the biggest striper extinction issues which was over fertilization in Central PA which washed down and ultimately into the Chesapeak which would some years ruin the spawning and result in few eggs hatching.
he knew more about stripers than anyone I know and as you say above , he was a great guy who took the time to talk to people.
God Bless and may his remaining days be as happy as possible.
