Good topic Henry - nice to reminisce over these next coupla' snowy days. Great memories Bullet, I agree that shore fishing was much more prevalent and much more productive back then.
Does anyone remember trolling/casting Smiling Bill bucktails with a fat juicy Sandworm or two attached for Stripers

This was a great technique we used on Long Island but have never seen it used in Jersey.
Also our exclusive Blackfish bait was Fiddler Crabs, no such thing as Greenies or White Leggers. And if your equipment wasn't a Penn, it wasn't a real reel
