The 80s were good to me... I was young and eager... the Plum Island area ( Mass) had a lot of big fish in those days.. I took three fish over 50lbs in 86... a 61... a 58 and a 54... two other "50's" were caught from the deck of my boat by other anglers... a half dozen other boats got in on the big fish bonanza too.. so did a handful of surf guy's... I remember seeing boats from the cape fishing our waters... the beach was lined with campers with new jersey plates.. ...the 90's were not so kind... I fished harder and longer.. tried new places all for little reward.. they( the 90's) made me a better fisherman and taught me to appreciate what I have...I didn't catch another "50" until 2004... I do see similarities to the way it played out back then... the big difference...back then I didn't know what I was seeing..now..I'm not sure I want to..

A good run is better than a bad stand!

I've told all my moratorium stories. You young guys will be making your own real soon.

No boat, back in the suds.
