Mobile Fishing
Fraternity New
Nomad of Sports
Br DICK DEW
Bourne, Mass.-IUPD-The new
nomad of the sports world is
the mobil fishing fraternity,
an expanding, dedicated band
of shoreline gypsies who sel
dom stray in season from the
sound of the surf.
There was a time when
Daddy announced "I'm going
fishing," the kids kissed him
goodbye and Mom got ready
for a long summer of mowing
the lawn.
Today when Dad hears the
striped bass are running,
everybody in the family starts I
packing and damn the dande- i
lions.
The fisher clan spend their
winters building every con
ceivable comfort into an end
less variety of vehicles known
as beach buggies.
The stripers begin "hitting"
for the surf fishermen along
historic Cape Cod about the
last weekend in April. In
their "season," which often
runs into November, multi
plying numbers of surf fisher
men are taking their families
along in the sand riding
buggies.
Stoves, foam rubber bunks,
refrigerators, even curtains
on the windows, make for the
homey touch.
Patsy Diana of Framing
ham, Mass.. president of the
Suburban Sea and Surf club,
typifies the dedication of the
beach-buggiest. ,
"Most of our members in j
Massachusetts, Rhode Island i
and Connecticut take off the j
first weekend they hear the
striped bass are hitting. After
that, they spend every week-;
end and all their vacations ,
living with the family in the !
beach buggies. That way, we j
can fish and not neglect our '
families.
"It really is an inexpensive
vacation and the incurable
surf fisherman gets in all the
casting he wants. It's in our
bylaws that we must comply
with all local laws. For ex
ample, we never stop over in
towns where you can't sleep
on the beach."
Perhaps the strangest thing
about beach buggiests is the
friendship of the postman
parked next to the business
tycoon who lives on his route.
The bank president is liable
to sleep 16 feet away from his
most delinquent mortgagee.
At one time", beach buggy
associations were made up of
owners of the nearly extinct
Model "A" and a few four
wheel drive Jeeps.
But a Worcester, Mass., j
resident named Bob Williams
is credited with determining i
that relatively conventional
two-wheel drive vehicles,
with proper weight distribu
tion, would plow through
sandy areas.
Another Worcester m a n, j
newspaper outdoor sports
editor, Frank Woolnes,
formed the Massachusetts
Beach Buggy association. Ted
Mitten of Weymouth is presi-,
dent of the organization
which numbers 1,500 mem-;
bers. i
Today, the true do-it-your-1
self beach buggiest hunts :
high and low for an old milk
or bakery truck. Addition of
a fourth forward speed and
fitting out of the rear of the !
truck comes next.
Then, it's off to the shore j
with Mom. the kids, even the i
family cat.
