Message: [QUOTE="RichZ, post: 5306551, member: 534"] Summer when I was a kid. Pretty much every day in the summer from 10 years old on, it was hop on the bike and head out to Pleasure Beach Island to go fishing. One year, I went out almost every day with an old man who ran trot lines through "the gut" for eels. He'd work his trotlines and I'd fish for the occasional flounder off the back of the boat. Learned a lot about how fish relate to weather and water conditions that summer. That ended the summer that I was 15, and the opposite sex and basketball became much, much more important than fishing. Not coincidentally, I'd grown from 5-8 to over 6 feet in a little less than a year preceding that summer. And the next summer I started work on my first hot rod. (SB Chevy in a '52 Henry J) [/QUOTE]
