LI shore Memories and Old-time fishermen from the past...

[DarkSkies]

This was inspired when a friend sent me a clip of old video for the NJ shore. I thought there had to be a lot of cool older clips and pics out there from LI as well.

Let's see what ya got, shake those cobwebs out!

This was done by the talented fishing video maker (much more talented than me, at least ) Shark Hart.

Pics are from a lot of different places, but quite a few are from LI and areas close to that. I thought I would post it up here.

Great compilation, btw, Shark.

So let's hear some remembrances or stories, or see some pics of what LI shore areas used to be like.

Nice work on the video, Sharkhart. Here's a Montauk old time video.

I love that station wagon. My uncle had one like it when we were kids. It was filled with fishing gear. We used to call it the bunker mobile, yes it smelled like bunker all the time.
