I was first fishing on a Rockaway Jetty at Beach 5th Street with my older sister babysitting me from 100 feet away on her beach blanket. 5 Years old, I used a hand line, tarred hook, sinker and skimmer clams in the shell. no knife. I cracked shell to cut bait pieces. 2 very kind old geezers gave me the fishing stuff and clams. showed me the ropes. I caught everything that swam there. But I was the one that was really hooked.Those days are longggggggg gone brother. You teach little Carmine( handsome like grandpa) the Mojoe school of fishing.. Go get them tog bro with George. :)(y)

What were we thinking back then? o_O

I wonder what ‘stuff’ was growing in these, they were ubiquitous but we survived.

Two things ,Both of my daugthers and my sons strollers had rod holders on them even my wife got a kick out of that made a rod holder that would clamp on with a c clamp.To tell the truth most people who seen that got a kick out of it. And egg creams try to have one every day (if not two) hersheys is good but Foxes u bet syrup tastes like the real soda fountain stuff i grew up with.

I believe these suckers made the best coffee, particularly the aroma.

They still do

Right...just till recently my wife’s friend was still brewing with this device.

Coffee hotter but taste is always the same.

I find with Pods , in k-cup brewers offer many different coffee options.

Not to worry if salted Spanish peanuts or jawbreakers. Salt and sugar confound bacteria.;)

Now that was a Land Yacht.

Did anyone else ever fashion a rig like this to fish ‘Spaldeens’ out of the sewer. Hey they went for 15 to 25 cents back then, could have been a weeks allowance.

Pinkys were a little cheaper and did not split in half as often playing stickball

The "clowns" that live there would grab them before we could.
