Seriously, we do have some rules on self-promotion here as we already have sponsors that contribute to keep the lights on. So please join in if you wish to participate but please don't run an ad blitz... Or I'll be forced to burn your Cohasset spots :laughs:

Sorry...I tried to delete the post but couldn't

Nice Bass

Or if John is nice about your spots, I can share with the crowd how to make tube setups cheaper than you can sell em for. :D

But well...

I won't do that.

That'd be meanlike...

MTC - just trying to be fair to our paying sponsors...

Thanks,

John

Kick ass Stripy! Take me fishin' for one, and I'll give you some $$$

Geez,

Maybe some of us should start sending in photos of the two or three hundred 20 lbrs we have landed in the past couple of weeks. No T & W, no boat. ALL fun.

Sometimes I forget how fortunate we are. These reminders are helpful.

Nice fish anyway you look at it. :)

That's a nice fish, knocking on 25 #s (after the obligatory hold away from body on outsretched arms til it hurts) ?

Kick ass Stripy! Take me fishin' for one, and I'll give you some $$$ Oh Yeh, want some of those ? :)


Here's one from a cap'n I know

http://www.avemariacharters.com/albums/avm2003/000_0185.sized.jpg

And I heard another Captain I know has a couple over 50 this year...

two or three hundred 20 lbrs we have landed in the past couple of weeks Haven't caught 2-300 or 100 or even 50 in the "past couple of weeks" , damn boy, that's a good run, how many over 30??

NOW THAT IS A FISH !

Only 2 or 3 over 30#'s and just barely.

ALL caught on plugs and swimmers.

You know. P's & S's only catch the small ones.

But, no chit. Had some run in's of 30-50 fish a night (1-4hrs).

Last night was more of the same. I figure these have GOT to be the residential fish livening up. They look like the sameones we get in the summer at 3:00 am.

Man that is a beauty ! :)

Well it's a boat fish so I guess it doesn't count :laughs:

That's still a great run of fish. Plugs & Swimmers get large, you must be using the wrong swimmers. Using eels at all?

No eels yet. But it isn't that I don't want to try. Those times are coming any night now. Whatever the bait I end up using it will be fun to see if I can hook a big'un.

I have some big plugs and swimmers. Some Habs needles, Darters (man I guess I shoulda ordered some spooks ? :( )
and the assorted, customized bombers.

Those runs of fish were accompanied by a fishing buddy so it wasn't all my take. So I guess that doesn't count :laughs:

Boat guys are doing great. Man this weather is just amazing.

Looks like some easty stuff coming so all you anti-easters get out tonight !:smash:

The Vineyard HAS to be going like this. All the reports I get from guys fishing Wasque area by boat are smokin' em and the elizabeths are doing their thing.

I really don't think the "Run" has begun yet. It feels so much like late summer.

Any thoughts on your neck of the woods ?

Hmmm, that tube looks exactly like the one I have been using all summer, including the homemade style keel ... and since your price is higher than his... I don't think you are his supplier.

nuff said

You lucky dogs. I miss catching Striper's :af:

ladies & gents - not trying to knock his product, just that it wasn't handled in the normal, appropriate way - that's all...

And you'll need to bribe me to get his spots :btu: - money works well
