No cell phones, no internet, actual not many computers, not many people even fished summer run.....fewer drift boat for the whole summer, than I see in one weekend now. Xhit, 30+ years has flown by, so glad my career allowed me the summer off, fished lots, every day, day light until about 9.





I was there and those were some glory days to be sure.

Change is unavoidable. Zip codes and age are irrelevant. Keep up or get run over. Celebrate that there is still fishing to be had.
