Default Re: Longing for the good old days

I remember:
bamboo poles and dragnets. I remember saving for my first sidewinder lure. I remember backlashes in nylon line..I remember Captain Bills in Whitestone..But my favorite memories are of Captain Wilson Hubbard out of Maderia Beach..In those days you left on Friday and came back Sunday..When the boat pulled in there was a cube van parked with a scale hanging from it..You sold all your amberjack and large groupers and kept the small sweet ones for eating. Wilson Hubbard had his spot on the local television and if you won the pool or had a good catch you got on television..It was on at four in the morning lol..I remember having my whole family up early in the morning to see me on tv...I remember andy pink lol
