Joe , surprisingly it was similar to today's prices. A good price back then(early 80's) was $1.80 a pound. During, say August, we got upwards of $3.00 a pound. Schoolies were always more per pound . We used to make a $100.00 a night in August catching small fish around NR and the town beach.

Make a blog and a public photo album. It would be interesting to see some photos of other stuff you (well everyone actually) might have to help everyone become better and more knowledgeable about (one of our) our favorite past times.

Joe Surfcasting, Yes it was. It paid for food and other stuff for my young family. I even bought a string of good pearls for my ex-wife with earnings for bass fishing one fall. I wish I never let my commercial lic. lapse during the moratorium, but we all thought selling bass was all done. Mistake!
