We would go by the ice house in Tupelo and buy blocks of ice and put them in milk cans wrapped with quilts to insulate (modern day Yeti at the time ). We have come a long ways since . Had one of the biggest motors on the Tombigbee at the time . 10 hp. No 9.9 then . First depth finder was a window weight tied on to with a rope . This was the introduction to an anchor . lol Fishing with my son yesterday got me to thinking about the old times . I have been blessed to be a son of an outdoors person and to live where fishing was a possibility(when it was raining or dark ).
