One fluke

My best memory’s were from that era. The fishing on that pier with my family. Catching tinker mackerel we would take the F train from the lower east side and it was the last stop. We would walk to the pier me and my mom. She would take me there cause I loved to fish and still do. I just don’t like getting up early anymore. To this day I still don’t know what that fish was
Bluefish ? Maybe striped bas maybe. I do remember it hooked up right where the jetty would end. And i know there was striped bass caught. The first time I seen a striped bass I was saying. Wow that’s big. But I was only maybe 10 at the time.
It’s great talking to someone who was fishing that pier too. Maybe we were on the pier the same time. I’m 70 now so it was a long time ago but seems l8ke yesterday
 
If that was a bluefish at maybe ten years old. I would have jumped over the pier into the water
The biggest fish I ever caught off the pier was a herring. If you got a herring while jigging tinker mackerel we you were the boss lol. I remember fishing next to the shack on the pier. It stuck out a little and I liked the corner but the fish I caught was on the side. My dad would take me there at night after work. I don’t know how he did it. He was a hard worker.
The steeplechase ? I remember that. What about th3 parachute jump? It’s still there. That’s like the Ambrose light house we called it the iron horse. That’s what it looked l8k3 from the water that’s gone but the parachute jump is still there.
Yeah those were good times. What abou5 Coney Island the beach? I remember the guy walking on the sand yelling ice cold sodas and something else he said I just can’t think of it now. I will remember I got it? Hot knishes,cold sodas.maybe it was ice cream. I can’t believe it was hot knishes but that sounds like what I remember
