When I talked to Tattoo a while ago he told me he was going to the East Bay Anglers seminar in Barrington.

Now it turns out he's gonna be PART of the show.

Geez, Fish-Eye, don't ya think some folks might be frightened?

Isn't there a law about that? Something like "no shirt - no service" :gf:

Got Elephant Man? :eek:

I wasn't sure my video presentation would be a big enough hit...I went with the sure thing...Everyone likes a freak show.

I was just trying to do my part and "Get a freak back to work!"
see attached http://webusers.anet-stl.com/~civil/Freak%20Show/freak-page1-introduction.html

Oh Tattoo, I understand Alan James Robinson will be attending!

Anyone know a GOOD Lawyer? :eek: :confused: :(

TATTOOO....IS NOT....AN ANIMAL!

How is the East Bay show I have never been but bought two tickets for this year?

GB - Welcome to Striped-Bass!! Another fellow Rho Dyslanduh?

How is the East Bay show you ask? I dunno, this is the first year that I'm going to be there. But I do know that a few of the "events" are certainly worth seeing.

Thanks for the reply
NO not from RI next door in Mass. Just getting back into striper fishing. My wife bought me a seaswirl 18.5 center consel last fall and I got to do some fishing in Sept. and Oct. can't wait for spring. Our family has a house on cuttyhunk that I have not been to for 18 yrs and hope to use it this year with the boat.!!!

So, GBOUTDOORS, nice to meet ya old buddy. Cuttyhunk you say,hmmmmm. Anytime you need a first mate just say the word. I got plugs:D anything I can do to refresh you on striper fishing just ask :) Welcome to the site.

Keep in touch I would be happy to have some company. I fished alone most of last fall as my son was to busy and could not get the time he works mainly in the summer for the Mass. Div. of fisheries and is out straight in the summer and fall.Come on spring time!!!;)

Hey, hey, just because Slippy is home all doped up on cabinet dust and paint fumes and happened to respond first.....no fair :). Does the boat have room for 2 mates?

Yes there is room for two. If you are going to the East Bay show maybe I will see you there.Have not used eels before and would like to learn how.Got a Penn intl. 965 for xmass and a custom rod from CMS to match.Had good luck pluging in old spots and would like to try casting eels in some of these holes.:)

GBOUTDOORS, Welcome, And maybe could help you with PLUG and HERRING fishing

Have you tried stillwater plugs yet I found them at Buckos in Fall River this fall and had great luck with them.The popper is great it is a floter and casts a mile. I had days that they would hit nothing else.I have done lots of pluging off Cuttyhunk as I spent lots of my summers there as a young fisherman but have not had the time to fish or go to the island for years but now feel it is time to make time to fish more LOTS more.:)

G, welcome to the site, don,t listen to all these comments !! them there weekend fishes, the clamdigger fishes all the time ,and all kinds of ways, if you don/t have room, just drop me off on the island, later be seeing you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:laughs: :laughs: :laughs:

welcome to S-B GB:)

G welcome aboard. If you need your boat washed you came to the right place. ;)

By the way JHabs is a plug maker. His plugs are awsome. :p

seems like alot of fellas want to wash your boat ! let them they do good work . I for one dont want a ride , I want to drive your boat ;).

Have a nice time on the site and welcome !


No hes not an animal but he is a pinhead ! LOL

so is this the official " WELCOME ABOARD " GBOUTDOORS thread??..:D:D......Hey fellow Massman...I'm the only other Mass guy on this site....;) :happy:....so remember ..." Birds of a feather flock together..." :)

.......okay, I lied...:( but welcome aboard angler!!!....

Again thanks for the welcome wish I had found this site last fall.Sorry but its been a long time since I had a boat so you will have to ride/wash/fish/or sleap but I like to drive for now!:smash:

OHOY mate ,climb aboard,YOU'LL be in for a good ride.Where's ya from in MA:smash:

From Fairhaven these days.From Dartmouth as a kid and summers on Nashawena and Cuttyhunk Islands. My aunt and uncle were the caretakers on island for 42 years and I got to spend summers there fishing.

Welcome aboard, GB -

See what ya did, now you've got yourself 50 deckhands - just try to not get these guys (myself included) too wound up with Cuttyhunk stories - at this time of year that's not hard to do anyway.

It's a great spot here, you'll like it - John's got a good crew here.

If there ever was a dying and going to heaven , place to be as a teenager, you were there,,,,YOOOOOOOOOOO later:happy:

Your right and can,t wait for spring to start fishing it all over again.But my biggest striper was not cought there it was a 48# cought in padarnaram harbor in 1973. We can,t all fit in the boat at once but I will be happy to have a few GOOD fisherman along to help gaf the big ones.

GB, but back in 1973 you caught the 48# on a pogie, along with everyone else, SOOOOOOOOOO that doesn,t count!!!!!!!!!!;)

GB - you were still dealing in the same pool of fish ;) - if you have a mild case of the sniffles, you'll find 100 or so here offerin' a Kleenex :hihi: for shot to be first mate for a day at Cuttyhunk. No bashfull souls here. :cheers:

Sandman had us all worked up a couple months ago when he was surfcasting that little island, I still drool occasionally... We were also tossing an idea about of getting a few of us together and surf fishing it....

Here was the thread we had going back then: http://www.striped-bass.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1865&highlight=cuttyhunk

Were you confident with your boat in those waters? I'm toying with the idea of a boat too TO SUPLEMENT my surf fishing (I can see me getting yelled at by a bunch of people now). That is in the range of what I'm considering, more specifically: center consoles from 19-23 feet, like an old Seacraft (Billboy - i GOTS to check out your boat sometime & get some inspiration) or Mako or something new like a Seaswirl/H-sport/Triumph with enough decent deadrise... That area is one of the areas that I intend to boatfish and I want a boat that is safe (all things relative) in a snot SW running through...

John,Ihave a friend that has one of those old seacrafts with some seroius fishing hours on it [outside] If you want to check it out , let me know, its just a couple of miles from us and its out of the water having work done/////////////////////Mike

TALK TO ME BROTHER!!!!

BTW - did you call me yeaterday? I'll probably page you anyway...

N
o bro,, but we should talk;)

either by telphone or Hooters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I?m in for the night////

Clamdigger whats a pogie some kind of extinct fish oh wait I think I saw some once years and years ago. Your right it was on a pogie and Im still proud of it the largest on a plug was 42# that was on Cuttyhunk down the west end when I was just 15 in 1969. John a trip to the island for a weekend of surf/boat fishing sounds good to me.I have the boat and the house you guys will need to bring the food and a BIG!!!! net to help me release my fish. HA HA HA

GB, Can I be your friend............PLEASE! :D

nice Fish. I got a 40 and change on a CASTMASTER:D
Its a nice feeling aint it..
Got fish over 40 lbs on plugs to But on a castmaster Is awsome..
It was at night..............:D

My wife bought me a seaswirl 18.5 center consel last fall and I got to do some fishing in Sept. and Oct. can't wait for spring. Our family has a house on cuttyhunk that I have not been to for 18 yrs and hope to use it this year with the boat.!!!

Well since it seems you have a few mates already can I be swabby????? LOL or mebbe ya need a part time maid for the house eh????? Boy I think you are quick to make friends around here!!;) welcome aboard GB! What part of MA you from?

GB - you have NO IDEA of the monster you just created ;) , I now feel obliged to show you.... Looking forward to meeting you at the show...

The only monster I want to here about are the monster bass we can catch. I we be sure to find you at the show andrealy would like to set up a weekend on the island. There is never anyone els at the house but for one or two weekends a year.So the dates would not be a problem.

GB,

I'll cut the grass, take out the garbage, sweep and vacum.....even clean the windows to stay a night over there....ol buddy ol pal. :D

Tatoo I here you are going to have some kind of table at the East Bay show? What kind of goods? Iwill be sure to meet you there.And you can show me the rest of the gang ?

No table.....Just look for the guy with no shirt on.....:confused:


I would like to thank Fish-Eye for setting up the freak show and making me the Main Attraction!

With friends like this who needs enimies? Next "official meeting" your sitting next to the "Mystic Seer". :D

It aint a freak show unless Im with You.Hay fish what about Me ;(

Who's the Hippy on the left? :D

GB, you seem like a pretty nice fella, but maybe you oughta wait til you meet this crew...

Tattoo, make him sit next to Iron Mike? :eek:

Geez, give the guy a break, he just got here.

Unlce Crafty,

Looks like someone has been hitting the Vermooth a bit hard this afternoon....the comment was tagreted towards Fish-Eye, not GB.....I gotta be real nice to get a ride to that island remember? ;)

Ooops...nevermind.

I was paying too much attention to work and not the website - ahhhh, work interferes with fun too much anyway.

But hey, that's a pretty serious threat - even for Fish_Eye!

BTW, I spoke to the Iron One last nite - the club meeting is next Thursday and a bunch of the guys are gonna bring old plugs as Dennis asked for a show and tell, so the Sheik is gonna bring some of his.

This is gonna be something, they better have security at the doors, is all I can say. You better start digging, Tattoo. This could be another plug war. :smash:

I'll send ya the newsletter via PM.

Thursday, eh? Old plugs & berries...

Tattoo is selling flesh at the EBA...

I have not had time yet to look for them but guess what you did on nashuena island if you where not fishing or milking cows? Thats right walking the shore and piking up plugs and thats what my uncle did for 42 years. The last time I was there we had 5-6 bushel baskets of plugs in the cellar and plugs hung all the way around the house out on the porch. Could be some good ones there.

John - (And anyone else who may be interested)

The meeting Thursday nite I was talking about was The Newport County Saltwater Fishing Club meeting - it's at 7 PM at the Newport Yacht Club on Long Wharf in Newport.

DZ is club president, we have 80-90 members and a good speaker schedule coming up - if any of you are interested in the club or would like to come to hear one of our speakers, or see some of the collectible plugs Thursday you're more than welcome!

Tattoo is gonna be our newest recruit - he may have an old plug or two to bring - if Iron Mike brings even part of his collection it could be real interesting - :eek:

Did somebody set G/B up on this site to drive us nuts////

First Cuttyhunk and now baskets of old plugs////:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

Clamdigger sorry I got you all worked up but no this is not a set up. If you look at the picture bellow you can see that my uncle also collected clamshells and made mosaics from them back in the early 60s. Sorry but if you look you will also see a few plugs hanging on the wall behind the bass. I was only on the island for a hour or so the day I took these pic. so I did not have time to go in the cellar to look for the baskets.

Okay, GB, we believe ya now - see ya at the show.

I was afraid in your next post you were gonna tell us you were really a girl and looked just like Pamela Anderson - :eek: - then we woulda been suspicious.

That's a real nice mosaic your uncle did -

Hmmm...is that some amber Atoms I see there?

Yes Crafty those are amber atoms seams I remember lots of atoms in the collection of all colors and types. Back then they where the most popular I guess. Can you believe that I stayed away from the island for 18 yrs.Now that I look back WHAT A FOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:smash: :( :( :( :(

....Crafty , ?......do we need a chaperone ? .....or just walk right in ....to see the freak show....:D

G/B just the envy coming out
But staying away for 18 years????????????/
hope to see you at the show ,but that will only happen if we catch up with you at Johns booth/////
they have already sold over 500 tickets///////////////later:btu: :btu:

What kind of booth does John have there?

500 people??? :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Still have one extra ticket and have not heard if Milo wants it or not anyone else need it I hate not to use it!!!!!

When is the show?

Tue night doors open at 6:00 show at 7:00 at the barrington high

Its on Tuesday January 15th at barrington H.S. It will be close to 600 people going. They used to hold it at the middle school but they needed more room. I don't know if they have sold out but I have someone whos intrested and I have someone from EBA checking for it out for me for tickets.

Still here GB and I will buy that ticket from you:happy:

Ok its yours but you can have it I just ddin't want it to not be used.I will be there at 6:00 and will leave it at the door for you and you can ask for it or you can meet me at the door its up to you.:)

No booth but I'll be at Fish_Eye's booth with a laptop and a demo of the site...

About that weekend we also have a lot at the top of the hill on the island that I use to put a tent up on and stay there for the summer. I am going to check to see if we can still put up a tent if so then we would have a place to put Tattoo and Clamdigger.Sorry Tattoo but no freaks in the house.

Well, my EBA tickets showed up yesterday, they were #'s 539 and 540 - so it looks like there's gonna be a big turnout for the seminar.

I'm gonna try to get there early for a good seat - figure I'll probably run into a bunch of fellow SB'ers.

We'll probably be hanging around Fish_Eye's booth - don't know what it looks like, I haven't been to the EBA show since it's first few years but I remember Fish_Eye's first booth.

This year it'll probably have Tattoo's name on it, I guess.

Oldest one I could find :D

So bloo were did you get my picture from now you all now what I look like!!!!
