A warm welcome, StriperJMA! If I remember correctly your son caught his first keeper bass that morning?

I also wrote down some of those references you gave me about the old time fishermen. Was it your uncle at Montauk? Sorry if I got the details wrong, my memory is a little fuzzy sometimes, thats why I take notes.

It was great to talk with someone who remembers how things used to be, enjoyed listening to some of the stories you had. Look for some of them in this "NY Fishing" thread, I'm incorporating "slice of life" interviews and stories with the old time pics. Hope to have it filled in by tomorrow. If I screw up any of the details, just let me know and I'll edit.
