I'm gonna try Truro this weekend. It's been a long time.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

Dave in 85' we were already spending weekends on Crab remember? Glo tubes and wd-40. No channel markers in Pleasant Bay and only a dozen seals on the bar at Chatham Inlet.\

"Who getz the BL*w Job?" could be heard all the way back to Nauset

600 lbs average dressed out gutted and gilled and Seagull blasting with my wrist rocketn and 3/8 hex nutz when they got too close.

That was fun.

Why even try.........
