Vintage Fishing Photos
I have a few vintage fishing photos hanging around the house from my Grandparent's era that I'd like to share. These first two are of Andy Anderson.
He and my grandfather Paul Manuel were Baja/Mexico fishing fanatics.
Enjoy!
P<*)))><
This is the earliest photo of Andy that I have, taken at Hotel Playa de Cortez. Not sure of the date, but I love the style of fishing atire.
This is Andy a few years later in 1956, and he still hasn't changed his style.

Great photos. Here's one from Las Cruces five years later, my first marlin:
My parents had a photo album of 8x10 b&w photos taken at Las Cruces in 1958 or 59, I think one of my brothers has them. They were taken by a
professional photographer and some of them are really nice. I'm going to try and get them scanned this summer.

That sail fish looks huge! They usually weigh in around 90lbs., but that fish is much bigger, and just looks like an old fish!! Wonder what it
weighed.

Paulina,
The earliest picture of Andy is great. He was quite the dresser, wasn't he?

I have a few more to share. I'm chosing this one first because this friend of my grandpa's was quite the snappy dresser. I think he had all the other
gentlemen beat. This photo was taken by Tommy Lark, from Tucson Arizona, at Hotel Playa de Cortes, the desert resort by the sea. Guaymas, Sonora,
Mexico.

This next photo was also taken by Tommy Lark, at Hotel Playa de Cortez, but before the posts were painted with the hotel name. My grandfather Paul
Manuel is pictured center.

Every once and a while my grandmother Vivian would try her luck at fishing as well. This was taken at the Hotel Cabo San Lucas.

This is a collection that may be interesting in that it contains items and photos that I found in my grandfather's fishing bag while cleaning out my
grandmother's garage, 40 years after he had passed away. There are three photos from an earlier time at Las Cruces; the road in to town, the pool and
fishing fleet. A few old lures, his original bottle of Bufferin as well as old peso notes. There are also two photos of my first fishing trip with him
and my mother. We stayed at Hotel Papagayo in Ensenada where we had dinner and I danced on the tops of his shoes, and the bait tank where I caught my
first Baja fish.

Last but not least, this isn't Baja or Mexico. This photo was taken in Cuba, my Grandfather's other favorite fishing ground. He was a great fan of
Ernest Hemingway (unfortunately) and visited there often. This last photo was taken at Sloppy Joe's Bar in 1950. My grandparents are the couple on the
right, Vivan and Paul Manuel.
Thank you for all your kind comments. It was fun re-living some of his vintage photos.

Love the Cuban photo. I haven't been to a bar lately where all the guys were wearing suits. I wonder who the uniform is standing behind your
grandfather. Slick!

1958 Manuel Diaz of Rancho Coyote y Mulege
Always a champion diver and spearfisherman, Manuel is still going strong today.
Here he is shown with one of his catches from Conception Bay...way back when it was full of such fish.
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.
