I know there where more then a few #50's reported this spring and summer and many I'm sure we haven't heard of. I haven't heard of any #50's and not a whole lot of #40's (shore or boat) lately. Am I just not in touch with striper nation:huhu: Where they at jammit!!

I can't keep it in anymore.
Know of several last week.
Was throwing back 30# to 40# fish like they were schoolies friday and saturday nights. Hooked up on almost every single cast. I only caught about 5 fish that were under 30#, all over 20#. Took home 38# and 39# fish friday night. They were all big fish piled up and feeding hard. Most amazing 2 nights of fishing I have YET to ever have. My hands still look like I put them in a meat grinder. Its that good hurt though. But just like that, they were gone Sunday.:peessed: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:

redlite,

i was there thurs and sunday, but not over the weekend.

I am starting to question the integrity of my relationship with my girl.

See you fri....maby

I'm guessing I was where Redlite was, because I had the same experience last weekend and everyone I talked to did as well.

For example, saw a guy get a 42" fish....on a FLY ROD. That is no joke.

Then Sunday nothing.

Good times. :D

secret private spot. only 3 of us fishing with access. No flyrodders.

Blitzseeker
10-09-2003, 04:19 PM
Congrats...sounds like a helluva private spot.

My spot was not private, but results were the same.

My buddy Geoff just cought a 47 punder on Aquidneck Island Yesturday with a black needlefish. At 530pm it was just his second cast he hooked into it.
Iced it down and brought it into Ed's next morning.
His first 40+. And to top it off the Redsox beat the evil empire later on that night. Sometimes life just doesn't get any better.

:happy:

You no, I have never caught a 40# yet?? I have caught fish to 49 inches and not a one was over 38 # I get so made when i catch thesae fish and an't even break a 40 :smash: even that fish yesterday was 44 inches and 28#'s For the fall run I expected more weight??

Gill and I did a little winta scoutin and it paid off! Couldn't keep an eel down last night best fish where in the mid 30"s until I resorted to chunks:uhuh:To make a long story short...I was fishin a area I had only fished once before(skunked) and was difficult to land fish. I got help from waves as I brought her to a safe rock, as I grabed the leader and pulled it towards me the freakin leader snaps, I jumped water(turned out to be waste high, thank God)..I love palm burn ......down fall is 39#. long and lean. I just can't seem to get bass with big #'s. I'm not b%&*tchin:D

See what the moon did to my eyes:err:

She's a beauty Goose........

I once slam tackled a 30+ lber in May when I snapped by line in the wash. It was a decent fish and everyone around me was catching friggin' blues (no, Clammer wasn't around). Somehow came from the bottom of the blues and it was my first keeper of the year.

Lucky I didn't take some spines in the gut....

Nice fish !

Nice Fish Goose - GET A WEIGH SLIP if you kept it or get Bloo to do a SB slip if ya sent her back!

Last night I had the exact opposite problem! I get a 13# Blue that has the front and a$$ hooks of a Tattoo spook embedded INSIDE both corners of its jaw and takes too much time to C&R and later I get a nice bass (that I actually want to keep) for todays grille ~20 or so~ and as I bring it in the wash, undue the plug, lower jaw in hand, start walking up the rocks and a wave rips the girl out of my hands - may she grow to be a Fifty :D :eek5:
