.................and there I was, nearly a lifetime ago, age 15+/- in a row boat with 9.5hp
No chum, no depth finder, anchored 1/4 mile from bridge in Shinnecock Bay, Long Island, bailing flounder with my dad.
1/2" piece of worm on standard 2 hook rig, double headers common, catching 20-40 winter flounder on any given trip. All needed was good weather and fishing during the season.
All that has changed in just 30-40 years ....
Pollution in its many forms and commercial over fishing has taken the toll.
