| That's a hell of a video. Classic in every way, and great footage of the old time Montauk Point. | ||

| Yeah, it was filmed by a fella named Van Campen Heilner. Don't know if he's associated with any of the legendary Montauk fishing lore. I thought it was a pretty cool piece, right down to the old woody wagon. | ||

| That flick was made before the advent of spinning reels. My first surf rod back in the fifties was a 14 foot bamboo stick (called Calcutta, a thick walled bamboo) with a Penn 200 (I think), held on with hose clamps. Even nylon line (while already invented) did not yet make it down to the fisherman. We had to use linen line which would rot out on you if left on the reel. Those were the days of line dryers when after a day of fishing one would have to remove all of his line onto a stupid looking reel-like affair, wash off your line, and then allow it to dry only to repeat the process the next time out. I also used those block tin squids, and still remember having to scrape them with a knife to shine them up. I am surprised that anyone caught anything with the crappy tackle we had back then. I think that flick was made when the greatness of America really stood out. If something was manufactured on this planet, there was a fifty fifty chance it was made in USA.

| Yup those were the days. A perfect example of how a simple metal lure can take a nice striper.

| Yeah, I'd love to see a fishing tournament that strictly allows the use of only antique equipment that was utilized between 1940 - 1945. No electronics no graphite rods no spinning reels (like Scup said), no fancy lures no mono or fluoro line - heck while we're at it… dorys with oars or small antique outboards only. I think that would be a tournament that would seperate the men from the boys! Kinda makes you wonder… who were the better fishermen? hmmmmm… We could call it the Arnold Laine Classic, named after after the legendary Striper man of the Cape.

| Was there actually a Floyd tune who mentioned such a man??? It must be real early Floyd. I'm talking about the legendary Arnold Laine who was a Striper Master and Lure Maker who chased the Stripe-ED Bass from the Canal to P-Town. I refer the forum to On the Water's February 2007 edition. A most interesting read.
