Re: Who introduced you to fishing?
My Dad. Grew up in Garfield and back then it was OK for dads to bring their kids to the bar to hang out. Everyone either hunted,fished or both. Used to go on bus trips with him to Point Judith cod fishing. One trip at 12 years old I got so sick but caught a 21 lb cod, which for me was huge, so it made up for being sick. That was the last time I ever got sick on a boat and got me addicted to saltwater fishing.
Growing up we fished on friends boats either bluefishing or flukin off Sandy Hook. We had our own and used to crab in Barnegat all the time.
Finally in 93 I got my own boat and returned the favor by taking him and his friends fishing. He fished for a few more years until his legs started giving out on him and it was too much to be on a rockin boat. After that he always wanted a fishing report as soon as I got home (pre cell phone days). Miss him much!
