Reg Reynolds owned a bait tackle and candy shop in Carpinteria since the 1940's and wrote a surf fishing column for the Carpinteria Herald from 1968 to 1976. Many Carpinterians who grew up during this era have fond memories of “Reggie”, his candy shop and I especially looked forward to his weekly fishing column.
On this site I have inlcuded some info on Reggie and some of his articles. I am compiling all of them in a book that will be available later this year. But for now, I want to share some nostalgia and inspire interest in these 'lost' articles. They cover history, philosophy, biology and of course offer tips on fishing the surf between Ventura and Santa Barbara. I tried to maintain the original published formatting, including spelling errors as much as possible. These articles were an inspiration for me and I must give them some credit for making me who I am - a fisheries biologist and fishing fanatic.
Please contact me, I am still looking for more information and others' stories about their Reggie memories.
