Nebe's Great Grandfather..
I just digitized this picture to send to my cousin and thought I would post it here...
1938 on the York river in York Maine.. He had a summer house there and his main house was in Perth Amboy NJ where he also fished for stripers...
When I first taught my self how to surfcast, I used his old gear and then quickly ran out and got new gear..  |

I have my FIL metal rod and baitcaster that looks very similar to that.
Cool stuff, but I could never cast that stuff either.

Yup. And you know what he'd think of burning $80 worth of gas to get it  |

Hed think you were nutz.
If memory serves me correctly, he sold the house in NJ and bought a mansion right on the beach in fort lauterdale. Tarpon and Marlin were his fish of choice down there.. Then stripers in maine in the summer..
Some more Nebe family trivia is that my grandfather (the guy in the photo's son) spent a lot of time on Cuttyhunk in the summer and helped steve baldwin build the striped bass weather vane for the cuttyhunk church. Steve made the fish and my grandfather designed the metal. Theres another weather vane identical to the cuttyhunk one in newport on lands end point.
My dad also chased bass from time to time, so Nebe is the 4th generation of striper hounds in the family  |

Nebe, nice pic. Great family history there. 
If you can take some advice from an "old guy", talk to your living relatives to get and write down as much family history as possible.
A time will come when you will want to preserve it for your kids.  |

I have been doing alot of that lately. Here is more nebe trivia- my 15th great grandfather settled at horton point near southhold long island in the 1600's.. his house is still there.
correction- after googling barnabas horton.. the farm is still there, but before his house was torn down in 1870, it was the oldest standing house in the country.. wow.

Very interesting Nebe. We may be related! The Old House in Cutchogue was built by my ancestor John Budd. He gave it to his daughter Anna on her marriage to Benjamin Horton! I seem to remember a sampler from the museum done by a Mahittable Horton. http://southoldtown.northfork.net/cutchogue.htm |

It's amazing the similarities and how genetics are so lasting.
That photo looks almost exactly like one I took of Nebe on Block Island a few years back just before he threw the short into the box.

Nebe - great stuff ... see if you can dig up some of the tarpon history - while stripers are the fish, tarpon are the silver king of the seas ... and love hearing stories of how people used to catch them back in the early early days ... if you can't find anything on it, we can always make it up ...  |

His fishing logs mention fishing with Ernest all the time...

I'll ask my dad, he may know, but my hunch is that it was a live bait thing.. mullet probably |

Hey Nebe, would that be the Horton as in Horton Point in Wading River? I assume he was a Puritan leaving CT because of persecution, which is why mostly Puritans settled in the eastern end.
I just found this which may be of some interest to you.
http://ntgen.tripod.com/bw/hort_index.html
I didn't realize the Conklins and the Hortons were related. One of my bosses is an original Conklin (Conckling).
That is quite the family history. |
