........can still see the "Trickster" group using yellow half ounce "Touts" off Nausauket and catch'n squets by the dozen.....#^&#^&#^&#^& S Bob S. &George S...............I even see a E.G. Oil truck......

[Clammer]

Did he get back in time ?

GS ..use to be out there when he was on call .................... you would see him go in & then back out ;

I guess helen must have passed by now /she was arching all over last time I saw her .

[trapperpierre]

......last time I saw George & Helen was at the crows nest many years ago.....George had on his funny fish hat.....the whole trout coming out of his @#$%&*head.................

[Clammer]

he had a fight with Nick [helens] son on who was going to drive him to the hospital ;;
he drove ,he died that day ;

they had a G S day at the apartment complex where he fed all the ducks & trapped the snapping turtles .. there is a plaque there ...where they actually changed the name on the pond to george,s Pond ;;

They had his service right in the funeral palor ......... the place looked like retired fishmens day ....... most were dressed up but you wouldn,t know it cuz ya couldn,t tell the difference in their clothes .
He was laid out in his plaid shirt. red serpenders [sp] / the fish hat you mention ed ;
& Helen had the talking largemouthbass on the coffin ... & everyone had to squeeze it when we paid respects ;;

He was one in 10 Million & everyone has a dozen different George S, stories ;

without trying he was really a character & I consider myselk lucky to have known & fished with him ;;

Last blowfish I caught was from the rocky shores of "Sequest Point" or at least that's how my father pronounced it way back when. That's when you could drive your car off the point if you had too much shine in ya.....and if memory serves me right, they'd make quite the racket after being kicked around the rocks too.......that's the price they'd pay for wasting $$$sandworms....they'd bounce pretty good too, not that I ever tried it.


btw....you guys are OLD.

Hey, Gilly - if you remember driving around "Sequest Point" it's definitely a sign that you're on the road to Geezer City...

Fun to read and fun to remember but it's sorta sad sometimes to think of what once was and is no more - and not so very long ago, either...

I'm glad I grew up around here when I did in the '50's and '60's - in a lot of ways we had the best of it, I think...

Chuck, it TRULY is sad. Especially up your way...Just to think of the amount of shore-access that's been taken away in your area

It's very depressing that my own son will NEVER stand on many of the rocks that I was first taught to fish from. this is a depressing thread.

Gotta leave it be.
