In my days where I would sit and watch Stan Gibbs make plugs in the cellar of his little cottage "factory" behind his house in Sagamore I can remember him telling me of the 40' and 50's when there were so many guys fishing that on the canal when tides were good for daybreak breaking fish you would have to get there at 1 in the morning to get and claim your spot. Sometime he told me that they would elect one guy from theIr group, when fishing was really hot, to camp at the spot over night and watch the rods positioned in the rocks for the other guys so that when they got there thier spot was reserved already.
Yes we have a lot of guys ( and women) today fishing but there have been times in the past that had as much if not more pressure, especially the years just after WWII.
