Spent many, many nights in the company of the old guard back then. I fished with the Woonsocket crew and a few of the New Yorkers. Some of the stuff I saw and did went on to become legend, mostly I was just a witness, but I still remember nights when I had to put bass in the front seat cause there was no more room in the back of the truck.DAys spent trying to sleep in the truck behind Matt the Rats, a shade tree was the most valuable thing at them times. You could pull into Old Harbor at 3 in the morning and ice down and weigh your fish and come back at 9 and get paid cash. Would take a weeks worth of stinking , slime covered clothes into the wash and fold and get them cleaned for a couple of bucks, they wern`t to fond of us! But that was then......
Who says the old days are gone, Tony C dragged a 53 and a 62 up onto those fabeled sands last year!

kennebeck.. that's why a lot of folks are
There was a real darn good recovery after all that stuff from the old days tho.. I remember a few years of No Fish... actually didn't fish for a few.. took to FW bassin for a while.. some real good fishin for them on the cape....
Now, i believe, it's the bait we need to fix, as was done for the stripers.
Can't really blame the old ways.. it's what was done at that time, and accepted as the way to go, by 99.9%, hopefull we can turn that around and get as large a percentage conservation minded, it's well under way. |

Sooner or later you're going to realize just as I did that there's a difference between knowing the path and walking the path. - Morpheus

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
