Yes, captain Blackie Walsh, fond memory as a child. The boat was rocking heavily, I sat down in the cabin and wasn't feeling well. The old crusty mate with 2 teeth sits down beside me and starts chomping down raw smelt !!
The memories. Dad always caught lots of fluke and large weakfish most trips.

Sure .all the guys crying there are no keeper fluke around are fishing that way .

The whole time guys bucktailing are throwing back 20" fish because we are catching better quality fish .

Day in day out a good bucktailer will outfish a bait dragger 5/1

I have to agree and 40 or so years ago (1978) I was using Loran and compass to navigate and a had flash fish finder that looked like a wall clock. It would be foolish to ignore innovation for the sake of nostalgia but hey, to each his own.
