Sandy Hook - back in time

Does anyone have any stories or history of Sandy hook they want to post? I love fishing there. The fly fishing can be great and it has a lot of history.

I used to fish there a lot. Back in 1998 there was a great fall run and that was one of the hot spots. Don't know much about the history though.

Yes fishing used to be a lot better but I think its still good at times.

Follow the light! I bet there is a lot of pirate treasure there.

FYI - I was reading an article that said the twin lights area to Sandy hook had a few ships washed up in the winter. Also said something about pirates burying some booty as well.

Amazing what you can find with an archive search.

Talk about run on sentences.

THE SANDY HOOK SQUATTERS; Some of Them Will Wait for the Government to Eject Them

July 5, 1895, Wednesday

Page 8, 1011 words

SANDY HOOK, N.J., July 4. -- The squatters on the Government reservation here who, under the lead of the old Seabright fisherman Scyses, refuse to obey the orders of the officers of the United States Engineer Corps to leave, are still determined that the Government shall make a show of force before they go.

A few weeks ago I took the girlfriend to Sandy Hook. I had cabin fever, dying to get near the water. So we stopped along the way at Officer's Row and took the tour. It was pretty cool seeing how they lived years ago.

I think they give the tour every Sunday if anyone's lookin to find a way to check out the water and take the sweetheart along at the same time.

Anyone else have any pics of Sandy Hook from earlier years, history stuff, or Pirate stories,

show what you got.
