Thank-you so much for those pictures, they really took me back to my happy place. I remember those guys driving around out the Race as a kid. I thought that they were supermen with those giant fish. Tell me, where in P-town was Joe and Natalie's Texaco. I pumped gas at Duarte's Texaco in the center of town on Bradford in my teens. He had 3 dealerships at that time ,too. Olds, Chevy and of course Jeep. Again thanks!

What a treat! Thank you.
Reminds me of my dad, coming home from a weekend of fishing with a trunk load of cow stripers. Early to mid 60's.

Did a double yake on some of those shots. Pergo almost looks like Milo....

When I broke into the Autobody biz, I musta repaired 50 of those rot boxes. Hated them then, would love to have one now.

This was great. My father was in the AF and my folks lived in N. Truro and P'town in the mid-50's. He wasn't a fisherman and when I've asked he wasn't real aware of the fisher community there at that time, but took a fair amount of slides and 8 & super-8 movies. It's nice to know and see how fishing thrived back then. Thanks.

Old Days Trivia..

A couple things have been brought to my mind since these great pictures have been posted.. well, more than a couple.. but Howard Rogers.. Orleans Beach Taxi, former Selectman... and, one of the Charter Members of the MBBA, and it's first President, if you ever see the MBBA logo.. the beach buggy in the logo, is Howard's, the number 34 on the door, was Howard's MBBA #.
Also.. Eddie Felice, this tidbit courtesy of the Senior Angler.. when he lived in Chatham, he lived in the scorekeepers booth at the ball field, so if you have ever been to a Chatham A's game in the summer, you have been close to some old time angling history, as well.

Time for my hike, see what comes out of the memory bank on my walk.

Fish4Stripers, Priceless, a time of wonderous memories, I have some great shots of me grandpap from hatteras as well as out west for trout back in the day when there were not many roads. I love the old pictures. I wish I had had 1 day to spend with my grandfather in the salt as I think of him alot when I am fishing long nights on the beach and actually think he is watchin over me. thanks!!!

Great pic. Charlie Murat and his son-in-law Dave Hammock had a ton of pictures like these. I don't know where they went when Dave died.

There was always the stories around Murats of Pergio and "Pergio swirls"

No boat, back in the suds.

Those old photos should encourage everyone to take more photos of their own fishing exploits. After all, someday we'll be calling what we've got right now "the good old days."
