Blast from the past ...
« on: January 25, 2008, 12:02:48 PM »
Hi All,

I just had a visit from my Uncle Joe, he is the one who introduced me to this great sport when I was about 5, man thats 55 years ago.  He knows I like to refinish old rods so he brought down a number of old bamboo rods, many are too far gone but he saved the best till last.

He found my old cane pole.  This was my first pole, I can't believe it was still around.  It even had the small bobber and hook wrapped to the pole.

He use to take me fishing for snappers and eels behind the old bunker factory near Keyport.  Wow, talk about memory lane.

That pole will have a special place in this house.  It is good to have an old friend back.

Happy Catching

Paul

That is too cool, Paul!

I'm sure that will be in view for all to see when ever any one visits your house.   t^
