Dowses Beach . . .
. . . wow, that was the jetty that my parents took us too every weekend in the summer when we would go down there. They would pack up all the food and my dad and I would bring our rods and our dozen seaworms when they were about $1.00 then and I'd stand on my favorite rock out there and catch scup after scup, no size or bag limit in the late 70's early 80's, and I'd see the blizes out there but was too young of age and didn't have the rod to cast out to where they were. It was an awesome jetty and there would always be all kinds of people out there fishing, and the beach was nice too. At night people would show up with thier flats of worms and lanterns and coolers, ready to spend the night as they said the Tautog would come out at night and that is what they were fishing for.
I'm glad they build something for disabled people so they could experience what we experience, and I hope that the fishing there is as good or better than it was when I was a youngin. I got all nostalgic when I read Dowses Beach as I didn't think there would be anyone on the World Wide Web who would ever mention Dowses. Good post!
