A New York Legend, Captain Paul G. Forsberg passed away.

[MakoMatt]

Another N.Y. legend has passed. Captain Paul G Forsberg, pioneer of the Viking Fleet. May he R.I.P.

 

[OVERBORED]

Paul was not only a true legend but a Pioneer in every sense.

First to fish Coxes Ledge, Andrea Doria......etc, etc He was fishing Nomans for Blackfish well before it was popular to go to RI.

He would spend summers on his boat, the Elizabeth cruising and fishing the Caribbean. Catching and selling his fish to pay expenses along the way.

He found more wrecks and rockpiles off the New England coast than you can count.

Opened up the NE canyons to the general public.....

Can go on and on.............Fishermen have alot to thank him, Richie Kessinger, Al Lindroth and Jay Porter for.

RIP
