When I was growing up, we had a jon boat set up for it. There was a deck up front with two lights that were under water. Lights were electic and powered by a car battery. One person would stand there with the gig, looking for the flounders. The other would pole the boat from the back. I don't even think my father has done any gigging in decades--thinking about it brings back memories.sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499891950639742366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-1129818048059066992005-10-20T10:20:00.000-04:002005-10-20T10:20:00.000-04:00OH dear!

With living on the beach ...You brought me back too! With living on the beach or near the water most all my life...I know that moon and the stars. Being a young child, my dad would take us to the beach w/ the kerosene lantern and gig for flounders. That was always so much fun. We always had a boat for fishing too. (nights and days)<BR/><BR/>As I got older, I billfished tournaments for 10 yrs for big game fish in the Gulf of Mexico and other countries. We would be "in no man's land" as I would call it...looking at the stars...and the moonlight for several days. You are mesmerized by the big open sky without any lights from the city. I absolutely loved it for the majority of my life. <BR/><BR/>Another great post...(smiling)Thank you for your prayers....Assorted Babble by Suziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16448800677732814528noreply@blogger.com
