About 42-43 years ago I used to fish with and Ole Country Boy. We would
drive down to Cedar Key and fish for sheephead around pilings where the old
RR bridge was. The RR bridge and Him are long gone now, Anyway at a
crossroad on the way down there was a Country Store. Sold all kinds of
stuff. There was a cast-iron charcoal grill in there that he just had to
have. He didn't get it the first time we saw it but brung enough money with
him the next time through. Welp that thing looked just like the Lodge one
there. Except it also had a C-I pot that sit on top. It was shaped like the
grill, about 18" long with rounded ends and about 2" sides. Fish Fryer.. I
would like to have had one myself. But it seemed real expensive to me. Was
around $16.00. That was about ½ a weeks pay back then.
Any way Ernie bought that thing. We sit out in the yard many a night
while he cooked fish and hush puppies on it. The charcoal made a pleasant
glow in the dark and the Fish and Hush puppies was sure good.

Them was the good ole days..
I reckon me and that Ole Man caught a couple of truckloads of fish
together.

About every third down to Cedar Key we were able to shoot a wild pig too.
