Make a blog and a public photo album. It would be interesting to see some photos of other stuff you (well everyone actually) might have to help everyone become better and more knowledgeable about (one of our) our favorite past times.
Joe Surfcasting, Yes it was. It paid for food and other stuff for my young family. I even bought a string of good pearls for my ex-wife with earnings for bass fishing one fall. I wish I never let my commercial lic. lapse during the moratorium, but we all thought selling bass was all done. Mistake!
Tonight, if I can find them, I remember having a slip from 1983 that I saved because I had two 23" inch fish and one around 22 pounds that brought near 100.00 bucks for those three alone.
I have a slip from Monomoy that was all 24 inch fish that paid something like 250.00. That was easy money, two at a time. One on the bomber and one on the redgill each cast.
I could go on and on.
We averaged .50 to .75cents a pound back in the late 70's for big fish when the run was on. Stiffy was there he could tell you. August brought the best money and we had them on Monomoy when every other beach was munged up bad we stayed clean because the flushing of Pleasant Bay each night kept the ocean side shore of Monomoy free of junk, only weed would be at high or low slack for an hour than we had 5 hours of clean fast moving water. It was pure bliss.
Stiffy and I had fished there into late November in the late 70's early 80's, some nights it snowed and we still caught fish but froze our nutz off doing it.
Never did it with bass (too young ) but I made more money off Canyon Tuna than anyone should have been allowed in the late 80's early 90's . . . We sold to Hendrigan's on consignment - dump the fish off and like magic a few weeks later a check appeared . . . Try "explaining" an $1,800 check for one 200 pound bigeye
