My buddy actually doesn't fish any longer for a variety of reasons, health being one. He continued to fish, and I continued to fish, just (I should have added...) not together on the end of a jetty
Yeah, the old wagons were a trip but for the most part supplanted by the minivans that were "invented" (or perhaps "popularized", if I recall)
by Ford (not including the VW microbus LOL).
This old pontiac had the back seat that folded down for storage, or popped up and faced rear, had the rear electric window that lowered.
Kids use to love riding back there. Of course, now considered too dangerous (and compared to the passenger compartments of today's
cars, it was)
I don't fish sandy hook anymore Rob but your post brought back a lot of memories. Go back 30 years or so and the Park was a different place. You could definitely find a few of those station wagons filled with families and screaming children eager to a day of recreation at the beach. A neighbor of ours, old time fisherman, used to have a station wagon with the wood sides. They were called woodys. He fished from Perth Amboy to Cape May. The back of his station wagon looked like a tackle shop with shelves and compartments he hand built out of 2x4's to hold all his fishing gear.
