His pail was so heavy he just left it at the bulkhead at the Manasquan end when you could go out to the end on the west bank. Sometimes I would bring him some fresh crabs, cause I know a lot of people had their hand in his bucket.................... me included,lol.

The bluefish that come through first are real skinny, and kind of long looking, but they fatten up quickly. When it starts, you could catch 100 in no time there, with tin, only 10 years ago. And don't be too surprised to see a tiderunner weakfish there in May, but I hope you take a picture, and let her swim again. Thank you for that. Papa

That was awesome! I loved the story. It's amazing when you look back at all the moments that have taught us how to be better fishermen and elders who take time to show the younger generation how to catch them. A great wise man also taught me the ways of fishing 21 years ago when I was a young lad. Now I teach him! HAHAHA
