ok guys and gals "listen up"....yes of course they're coming but the mysterious question that's fun to ponder is where and when so based on some research i decided to test a theory that i read about, that they are traveling northward 13 miles per day and decided to backwards engineer it ok? So starting from the CAPE COD CANAL _ i plotted a MAP with 13 MILE sections of the COASTLINE As the "Raven" flies :D and here are the locations.

1.) ASHBURY NEW JERSEY.....................9.) BEACH HAMPTON
2.) Middletown ..................... ......10.) DITCH
3.) LONG BEACH ...... .. 11.) BLOCK ISLAND
4.) POINT LOOK OUT ..... .. 12.) POINT JUDITH
5.) POINT of WOODS .... ..13.) NEWPORT R.I.
6.) BAY BERRY DUNES ..... 14.) GREAT NECK/HORSE NECK
7.) WEST HAMPTON BEACH ..... 15.) WEST ISLAND
8.) FLYING POINT ...... 16.) CAPE COD CANAL

there are aproximately 13 (plus or minus 5 miles) between each
numbered location so once we HEAR of stripers further south
being caught we can roughly determine when they reach the cape cod canal in DAYS and it'll be fun to see how accurate this is.
...FOR the MAP- LOOK BELOW... the yellow push pins for each ONE

the origional to blow up... that is,, send me an email and i'll send you one.
send to: ravenob1@charter.net

also any help browsing other southern striper sites or passing info as to where they presently are is appreciated.
of course now watch they'll be here tomorrow heh heh!
wouldnt that be cool!!

well done raven ! :)

dis iz gonna be a busy thread :D

13 miles a day.

Keepers in the canal on May 2

I was not thinking when I moved to Weymouth. If I new I would be at the end of the line I would have moved further so.uth:D :laughs:

Sooooooooo,

*moaning* *drooling*:jump1: :bounce: :drool:

So what is the status on the "Cows"

work again LOL! you got alot of time on your hands.:laughs:

actually

I am getting some good Reports of Bass in the
10-20lb Class being caught in numbers in both
the Chesapeake & Delaware Bays also off the
Beaches of Chincoteaque & Assateaque Islands...


thats just south of position number (1. on the map.

I received an email from Gary2 and he said that he and friends have fish to 23# in his neck of the woods right now!! Thats NJ for those who dont know!

Wont be long!!

Raven...did you do that 3D???? if i could find the smiley with the jaw drop I would definatly use it....lol...


what program did you use to do that?

I have Lightwave...but I hate to do 3D....:laughs:




very nice:D

sorry not trying to hijack your thread i know that was :topic:

and no its was borrowed art and i added the s-b board layer to his tv but it seemed appropriate....

We can expect another delay of the stripers arrival, Raven.

now why is that Notaro ?

Because it's snowing outside, man.

maybe in your part of Mass.

It is 40 degrees here and rained all night. we had snow mixed with the rain for about an hour this morning as I am sure a large portion of the SE did. But you bring up a valid question.

The'll be here soon kiddo ! hang in there.....:)

Yeah, I will hang in there after I'm caught up with my English hwk assignments that I am behind. After May 10, I will be free. Do you work in Nantuckett, BW? and What do you do on your free time in this off season or a mess up weather?

I do work here. In the trades busy ALL winter long. July august usually my down time.

the vineyard is a way better place to live ;)

I caught no fish on the vineyard shore. There is one thing I don't like about the vineyard is lyme population. Vineyard sounds is great for deep sea fishing. I might go down to the vineyard with my best friend and his family this summer.

This is all good information.

The fact that I fish in NH or Salsbury, MA I guess I have a LONNNNNG wait.

This is almost painfull. I think I will have to move south!

Poor guys in Maine!

Raven the only small chink in the armor is we are installing underwater signs on the south side of block island instructing all bass that weigh over 40 pounds: "All Striped Bass Weighing over 40 pounds are not allowed east past this sign. Please just swim slowly around the island and and wait until your ready to head back south." So how's that?:smash: :smash:

I don't get it

i had a report that cows were there. positions 2,3,4 need confirmation.

uh, uh , uh ,uh ,uh,uh ,uh, uh..........:( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

i dont know what your sayin..................

hi raven

slingah ? Raven *WAVES

well ?.............

BW, very soon....

..................i always imagine you walking out into that sunset... ...
as time has permitted having a million things to do (lately) i've spent some time
browsing every board looking for clues and reports and everyone is extremely tight lipped to prevent the avalanche syndrome
i guess, because i haven't been given much info thus far via email even though i freely posted my email addy at several sites with my navigational interests made known in a post.
also.....My computer has some kinda mail server spoof or my old list of email addy's or... my mail server does...... sending bogus emails everywhere which sucks and i even have recieved the
"i love you" virus, and the hi viruses so
its been tough going here.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the birds (land ho )
Terns seem to proceed the bass by a week so ive been told and i am looking for them in reports and conversations as well...

are you seeing TERNS?

if they reached BLOCK ISLAND ...today.... they'd be in the canal in six more days.... but i'm not sure if they are there yet.

a 34 pounder was caught around union beach last saturday which would put them in the area of block island tomorrow or the next day.... of course theres hold overs out there too....
