I saw an article in the fisherman about fishing in the old days. Their editor, Fred Galafolo recalled marlin fishing back in the 1960's. He recalled raising 20 white marlin in a day while fishing within sight of Fire Island. What happened to all those great marlin ? I hope that great fishing returns.
As a kid growing up in the 1970's I was fortunate enough to have experienced the great weak fishing in the peconics and the great flounder fishing. I also experienced the great sharking.
I also saw the Russian trawlers that ruined the fishing here.
Tell us your stories of fishing in the old days. They are so nice to hear and read about.

Sunny,
The russians just started it, the U.S. longliners finished it. As recently as five years ago I could go out the second week of July and target Whites, usually caught 2-3 and raised a few more than that, trolling skipping ballyhoo.
