One of the things I always loved about pier fishing was the sense of community among the regular fishermen, and their willingness to help out someone who didn't have a clue about what was going on.Joseph Hordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17194221276611826781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4797817380320042070.post-3822660141259219452014-07-15T09:50:36.671-04:002014-07-15T09:50:36.671-04:00Thank you LQN!
