Clam Boat Sportfisherman

[rich scheffer]

Thought some of you South Shore Long Island guys would like this. This boat was built by a guy named Stillwagen in Patchogue 1979. This boat got in on two clam bonanzas in Florida in the 80's and 90's and probably stocked over a million dollars in it's working days. 10 years ago it was given to me in pretty rough shape. We did the whole boat over and now my son uses it for fishing and diving with my two grandsons.

Here are a few of nice dolphin he caught a couple of weeks ago. He has caught sailfish, lots of Spanish mackeral, cobia, grouper and of course, a lot of dolphin and snook out of this boat. This is not really much of a sea boat. Naturally he has to pick his days, then again, our ocean in Florida summers has a lot of "those days" to pick from.

By the way, I named this boat after a well-known old watering hole in Sayville, L.I.: "Dog and Duck".
