Thanks Bill, glad you liked it - I've been looking at that photo for I don't know how many years and I still notice stuff I hadn't thought of - probably the single most important photo in striped bass fishing, historically speaking...

There's only one photo more important and it hasn't been seen in over one hundred years - and I'm hot on the trail...

Anyway way, I do have several bass stand photos - the one you'd probably like is the side view of the JP Morgan's Graves Pt clubhouse, taken around 1890 showing both stands - forgot I even had it until my wife unearthed it -

Also have a couple of others - one of the GP SE stand, and another from a postcard around 1912 showing a man in suit and tie holding up a respectable bass by the stand that was right next to GP -
and another illustration done by one of the Vanderbilts showing the gaffer walking out on the SE GP stand from an old Newport book -

I'll muck around in the hard drive here and post 'em for ya in a while - they're also matted, 5x7's on an 8x10 -

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
