Re: Memories of our changing times
Sorry, forgot Tog... Easy to catch everywhere... I fished the old 40 foot Skipper out of Belmar, and we always caught dozens per man..
Really, you didn't need a boat however to catch some nice tog... A good fisherman could spend 10 minutes digging mole crabs in the surf at low tide, walk out on a jetty , and catch lots of decent tog from mid tide up, to mid tide down.. Spingtime, they loved sandworms on the jetties as well... I MISS that kind of fishing.. Boats were best of course, but you ALWAYS caught Fluke, flounder, blacks, blues, eels, blowfish , kings,and ling and whiting from shore, jetty, and pier IF you knew where and when... Today, its not as easy without a boat... bob
