I have a hard time believing tackle shop reports. I guess I am a little paranoid.

Andy if you read Bob's reports you'll see they are all well documented but I agree with you for the most part.

The best fishing reports years ago were from the guys on fishing forums like this one. But that got out of hand. If you know what I mean. Still good Info. for fishing areas, not exact fishing spots.

Andy back in the day we had more anglers than fishermen, now it's the opposite. We found and developed our honey holes much like you've done. This new breed doesn't do their homework. They want it all handed to them. Also back then we developed friendships took road trips together, and fished together - not so today.

X2 on that.

My son, who spent so much time with you old-timers, is now 24 years old. He still remembers the clean-ups and the cook-outs afterwards. He loved the AI overnights too. They were truly the good old days back then.

It was a different time then probably never to be seen again. I have lots of fond memories of the old gang. Glad I was there to enjoy it.

We had a lot of fisherman that worked at Bethlehem Steel Ship Yard/ Sparrows Point. We all would give one of the guys that worked in the office, I think it was $5.00 a week, then he would make a fishing trip for us. One of the guys had a large camper like a bus we all went in. None of us had to drive, that made it really nice because of the drinking. So many laughs.

We were dirty looking fisherman. LOL!
