Been thinkin!

[Bonefish]

I could've said it better. I am still amazed that my father could throw his Pfueger Supreme with a steel rod both right or left handed and put it wherever he wanted. I can't do that with all the technology today. We had a boat made out of two 1936 chev car hoods that we fished the Dix back in the 50's. It was hard to control but we got there. My father can remember catfish so large in the Dix River that it would stop my grandfather's grainmill. Now those cats are gone to pollution. Don't be afraid to document your fishing stories for your grandkids. They are priceless for the generations to come.

Reading your thread sure does bring back some memories. I can relate to almost all the things that you mentioned. Cane poles, walking creek banks,catching sunfish and a host of other species, digging earthworms and scaling and frying the catch when we got home. I still have the Pflueger Supreme my dad used along with the metal rod. He introduce me to the art of casting with artificial baits, and yes, I had to learn to cast with both hands before I could have my own. My dad and I spent many days fishing together and that's the reason I enjoy it so much today. " Been thinkin also"
