I can't go home again since my parents sold the house and moved out of New York.  When we did we made a bee line for the beach house out in Southampton.  We fished from the boat, fished from the dock in front of the house, got in the water and clammed and then made baked stuffed clams!  You girls would fish for Snappers (baby blue fish) when they were running (August).  We would literally have to drag you in at night and pry the bamboo fishing poles from your sweaty little hands!  Of course you fished from the boat and caught the sand sharks.   Those were the best days and we built wonderful memories!  Here is a link to Michelle's blog day showing her shark catch!
