I catch a fish in the 20 lb class and a 30 poundah.....

what a cruel tease :smash:

ya breakin' my heart:smash: good job!:D

nice eben :claps:

nice:D

nice job Eben. I'm jealous:D

Sweet!!! Ya bastid!!:D WHat time of day did ya get them? WHat did you use? Gonna make Toonoc cry:laughs: .

Sheesh, what was that, ONE day :smash:

Now about those plugs to benefit the poor schoolies :rtfm: :hee:

I've got a pretty good idea where he was at---working a parachute jig on the port rail.

Did you say boatfish?????:confused:

Well, that makes me feel a little better :p

Those were some wicked tornadoes of gannetts way out today. I could have been out on a buddies boat yesterday, but I didnt go and then had to talk to them three times on the cell phone as they were hauling nice fish in :smash:

:laughs:


I was waiting for Goosefish to bust me!

I have a new twist on the "boatfish dont count" theory... they dont count unless you catch them. If you do catch them, then they count. If someone else catches them they dont count:D


Okay, Now I am done for the season. I'll settle with a 30 lber, boat or shore as my last fish:smokin:


thanks for taking me along Goosefish!:jump: :usd:

Dork ;)

Fishaholic..... I'm all done. I hope you do hit 40 though! better yet, i hope you hit 50!:happy:

:laughs:

Eben,
If I recall correctly this time last year you were one of the only guy's that were still catching anything of any size??

Remember! The guy in the tow truck saw you and Vic!!!:D

Nothing doing there this year??

There are no fish there.. its a figment of your imagination Russ ;) Nice Fish Eben :) Wish you many more bud! :D

Hmmm, the murder shack or sumthin like that :confused:

The slaughterhouse

Nice job, Eben :kewl:

As for the boat issue.....well, ya can't blame a guy when the days are dwindling to a precious few, I guess -

Although it must have tough trying to figure out a way to break the news to your friends and family.....:hihi:

The cure? There is no cure.
Ya gotta get a boat now.:smash:

way to go Eben! nice fishes..dont matter from shore or boat..
:btu:

Eben don,t forget to check that price for me ;)

Nahhh, it's just envy...ya know, Eben, when you think of the alternatives this time of year, there ain't a damned thing wrong with boat fish, I suppose.

Hell, I'd be willing to Indian leg wrassle in the nude with the fat broad who I hear singing around Newport lately for a fish in the 30# class.

On Washington Square.....at noon.

Crafty you kill me! :rotfl:

Clam-bo yes, i will take a peek tomorrow :eyes:

Could make some descent money with that ............

I read today the Mercury came out with a 9.9 4-stroke outboard =======run a whole season on one tank /it must be sooooooo quiet that the @!#$%^& BLOOOOOOOOOOfish would stay up //when I,D run thru them :smash:

Congrats, never say never. I didn't pick up any 20's today, but if I could weigh them all in, it was a 175lb day:). Sweat too not a drop of wind and very agressive fish, nothing over 27inches but when November hits it about keeping the rod bent anyway. This holiday weekend, I'm headed south to see about coralling some of those bigger fish before they get too far south.

Tried already!:gf:

I am truly disappointed in you Eben. I expect no less from John. After all he is a former commercial fisherman and is entitled to catch bass from a boat, but you? No, no, no I just can't believe it.

Anyway, I fished this morning and caught fish FROM SHORE WITH A SURF ROD!!!!!:bc:

Yeah but paul they were small :D

E was gonna go toggin today but he had things to do.... oh well :D

Was gonna invite you but knew ya had a Doc Appt...
talk tommorow
B

Great, we lost another one. Another one bites the dust!

Eben, can I have your plugs? You probably won't need them, you can get your tube and worm rigs at Wall-Mart :smash:

-spence

Eben I'II be going Friday, Saturday or sunday, depends on what day looks good. I'II be looking for a jiggerman. Taking the scow out.

:musc: :bounce: :nailem: :skulz:

Only losers use plugs huh. Wait....I think I have become dyslexic.

I also want the Van Staal. No good on a boat. Too light for tubes and worms.

hmmmm It seems that this thread has made a few fishermen jealous:hihi: :devil:

I-N-T-E-R-V-E-N-T-I-O-N :smash:

-spence

And don't listen to Bryan. I had 3 30's. 20 25's and a 20 this morning. Pounds not inches either. So there.

Paul, sounded to me like centimeters :bshake:

its o.k.... remember, Rocks move something like an inch a year on the beach, so in reality you are trolling when your standing on that rock :hihi:

You're right, spence, this is bad - hey, I know we all get desparate this time of year, so you gotta cut him some slack...

Hell, I've done a little boat fishing myself a few times...it's not like I'm proud of it or anything....but now Eben's trying to rationalize it :hs:

Hey, something's gotta be done here....

Friends don't let friends fish in boats.

I'm going on sunday too :happy:

anyone want to buy some surf rods?? :hihi:

What the hell. I just bought a new Van Staal and found out it's right handed. I might as well buy some broken surf rods as well.

Eben, you need HELP





















And it just so happens I'm available to man the starboard rail :p

I miss spring :( :( :( :(

Eben.... the rocks dont move... the beach moves and the sea rises... get it right man..... :smash:

They move when I stand on them :rolleyes:

Eben:
27 25lbers this morning. HA!!!!!

were you fishing with Cheferson?? :hihi:

:eek: Dont you have 27 , 5 lb diapers to change? Have a slow season , eben?

zata a gooood von:laughs:

Right next to me.

Let's play nice. Eben didn't mean any harm. just a joke.

I cant joke back?:smash: :laughs: :confused:

Spence, RI Rockhound and I are forsaking our families and going to the Block lookin' for one last cow

Heck Paul, I'm looking for my first cow :smash:

:laughs:

-spence

in my younger years ,I did some cows ,more too hang on-to
Just don,t look???//:gf:

Clammer ........you dog :D

That happens sometimes when you have beer goggles on. :laughs:

generally, in my opinion, a proper parachute head should have the hook eye forward balanced and not center balanced as is sometimes the case.

G/F whats that have to do with riding cows ?????????:confused:

Nothing. Just a random mostly mindless thought.

center balanced will make yoru jig dig deeper and you wont get that beautiful parachuting motion you get with a forward looped jig... no?


wire lining :humpty:

Pretty much. If given a choice I always favor jigs with the hook eye forward not in the center. For surf casting, bottom humping, the forward balanced jigs are the way to go, less hanging up and a better "rise and fall"
For straight crank deadsticking then the smiling bills are good heads.

..............................................I've been reading way too much about what bassdozer has to say. We surf guys can learn something from the freshwater guys, and, if nothing else, it gets the old bean ticking.

its going to be a loooooooong winter. Best to study up for new techniques and prepare for the next season. Then when the next season rolls around, spend half of the time on new tricks and the rest of the time on old ones....

one mississippi, two mississippi.... three missssiii..........;)

your going to need a bigger plugbag after I'm done in the garage this spring:happy:

I may need to hire a Sherpa

it will be worth it :D

stop counting at 12 or else it gets tough!

center balanced will make yoru jig dig deeper and you wont get that beautiful parachuting motion you get with a forward looped jig... no?


another SURFcaster gone bad.......:(

A true angler is a versitle angler. :D

Fish with TNT then you boat boy :splat:

-spence

What a tangled web we weave when we practice to deceive.

Denial is the first step!

wire line = heathen fishing

Eben has gone to the dark side..
:eek:

Can i go to the dark side too? Sike, i hate boat fishing for bass!! I did just as well , if not better then my friend who fishes off his boat this season!! Dont need no boat! Iam jealous though, the fish ya get sunday will probally be 20lbs more then any fish i get.:D

John, we'll bring a sherpa and rappeling gear for that spot we talked about yesterday... The true meaning of fishing away from the crowd :D
Happy T-Day

and Eben aka Parachute Jig... how was that tog?

I see that the tide of anti-Eben, AKA, The Wireman, has not subsided. You guys are all jealous. There is a lot of skill involved in dragging wire with parachute jigs. Especially without a boat.

Originally posted by RIROCKHOUND
how was that tog?

tasted great, but it was a bit rubbery. You know, around here, we call them blackfish.

You didn't take the skin off didn't you :smash:

-spence

yep... took off the skin, and baked the filet on a bed of finely chopped onions. came out a tad chewey

That's because it's blackfish...and why I don't like dat fishy.

-spence

Blackfish is killer fried up with some tartar sauce. I noticed if you gut the fish and let it sit for a day before fileting , its not as chewy.

:drool:

Now if Only I could wire line for black fish

Happy Thanksgiving to all the happy wackos on this thread

Happy Turkeyday!!

HAPPY Turkeyday or in spences case, happy Pork day!

Hmmmm...:smokin:...I think I've got it figured out finally.

My diagnosis is the early stages of Winter Bass Separation Anxiety, commonly known as Fishing Pox.

The old fisherman's remedy of a little whiskey with lemon juice will probably help a little.

Not too heavy on the lemon juice, though....

Winter- the time in every bass fisherman's life where he mends broken relationships, and does all the work he's put off till now

:smash:
