Hello, Infantry23.

I spent the first 17 years of my life in Baltimore and the next 7 in the Infantry, so we may have a thing or two in common.

Living in Austin, Texas now. Welcome to the forum.

 

[Infantry23]

Thank you all for the warm welcome! I look forward to getting to know everyone.... even the Canadians and those kooky guys from KY!

Where on the eastern shore? I used to live in Salisbury!

 

[jaytex1969]

I have a fly swatter I stole from the Budget Host Inn in Salisbury in1995...

 

[k1j3l]

Easton, right in the middle haha

 

[Infantry23]

Ah, beautiful country. I love being on the eastern shore and would love to move back someday.

I miss leaving Baltimore at 5am and trailering the boat down to the Choptank river for a day of fishing. Or to Wye river for a day of crabbing.

 

[jaytex1969]

Arrghh! ?‍

Because I had nothing better to do, I just learned that the Budget Host-Temple Hill Motel is Salisbury was razed in 2017.

My fly swatter is now a vintage collector's item.

Bidding to begin at $500.....

I used to go crabbing on the Wye with my grandfather when I was a boy! Such great memories.

Welcome! I'm in Louisiana now, but I was born in DC, raised in PG, and lived/worked in upper MoCo until 2011.

My grandparents had a little house on the Patuxent, a little spot called Town Creek right across the river from Solomon's. Some of my best childhood memories are of the times I spent there during the summer.
I remember being surprised at how expensive crabs were the first time I paid for them instead of catching them. ?

Pacific Grove?

Prince George's county, I believe.

O yeah, we used turkey necks on a trot line and had bushels full by lunchtime. Buying a bushel of crabs? Well, let's just say I'd rather spend that $ on tobacco and pipes ?

It was chicken backs for our lines and crab traps. ?
