I had friends who would go fresh water, and on light tackle..I imagine its fun....I just never caught anything substancial enough to make me put any serious time into it, the five times that I probably went...lolol

You are correct sir, I am 6'2". But, it has nothing to do with 6/2 & even, over and out.

Geez I'm starting to feel ancient.:happy:

Knot true

One day a Pirate and a bartender were talking to each other in a bar. The Bartender asked the pirate "Where did ya get that peg leg from?"

The Pirate responded " We were sailing the seas when a big ol' shark came up to me while I was swimmin' and bit off me leg."

Later the Bartender asked "Where did you get that hook then?"

The pirate responded "Well, me crew and I were in a battle and it got cut through the bone."

The bartender then asked " Then where did ya get the eye patch from?"

The pirate said, "In a harbor I looked at a gull flying over head and it took a dump right in me eye."

The bartender was puzzled and asked the pirate, "How would that make you get an eye patch?"

The pirate responded, "First day with the hook."

:laughs: :laughs: :laughs:

Man, nobodies touchin this thread with there 10 foot poles

Just slidin' through!

Does anyone know who carries korkers?? Thanx

Darnit, don't do dat at this hour you scared the chit out me!!

I know you own a pair, or do you use golf shoes..

Goose, do you own waders?

Do you own a rod ??

I'm thinkin about goin up to kittery Trading Post if I can't find what I'm lookin for. Wanna go

dude,what happen.

I'll tell ya what I did....

...After seeing and hearing some bad stories about korkers....

...for example, losing spikes....and having them loosen up on your feet....and losing them in the surf, or rocks.....when the straps break.


....so what I did, and which was cost effective...;)....I purchased some felt soles with spikes in them....I brought them to a local cobbler and had him attach them to my waders....:D

....Haven't been sorry yet....AWESOME!!!.....

Where did you buy felt soles with spikes in them?? My waders have felt soles. Also,is that perminent?? cuz there are certain places where theres a bit of a walk.

I walked plenty in em'....trust me!!!...

.....no problemo with em'....rocks, sand, sandy rocks, rocky sands....lol....you name it....

its coming, chech your mailbox....;)

wow

I'm still overwelmed by all the info I've picked up in the last few weeks. Hopefully I can help others to ...THanx man

more info on the way.....

...but like I said, do what you want......:smash:

I've got some "back up" waders that I want to put another set on...

...and I think this time around, I may add some spikes to them....I was thinking about cutting down some very big nails...putting a tip on em...and maybe using some washers to help secure them...

...If I do it before you do, (if you do it at all)....I'll let ya know how I made out...

I also thought of cutting the soles off golf shoes, might work. check your pm?

give me a sec.....I'm mousing up my idea about the nails....

I'm figuring on buying some short, not too thick nails.....cutting them down...re-tipping them on a grinder....and adding some washers to them.....drilling some holes in the soles...and strategically placing them so that they don't interfere with the adhesive part of applying them.....

...I think the soles could use a few more spikes, even though I haven't had any problems with them....AT ALL!!....


....I should follow the saying..."If it ain't broke, don't fix it..."

.....but I'm a stubborn Green!!...:D

I got it http://www.korkers.com/catalog/index.htm

Can you tell me which ones you have? Is it G-7020??

I was thinking about some spikes on the outside border....shown in the picture below, but I'm afraid its gonna allow the edge to lift...due to lack of glue....and since you walk mainly on the ball of your foot....I figure if I cover those spots...it can't hurt..:confused:

Way ta go bloo! That looks real good. I think the length of the nail is important. Maybe useing (what i think they call) self driving nails used for hard wood floor's, I havn't seen them in stainless.

No, I got the ~ K4035 Studded Felt Soles ~24.95

..except I paid $29...:mad:

....the model you sent me, is a replacement for the sandals....not a glue on type....

IOU my life wan it now or later?

what are friends for?....

....FRIEND....;)

I just get a good feeling, knowing when I've helped someone out.....


.....I'm glad I could help you....

...Home Depot has it all.....so they say....

....they should have the Stainless ones I need.....:D

They do have it all, including most of my money

to be honest with ya.....I've never seen one of them "types" fishing.....

....its weird too.....cuz I always thought they liked they touching the worm!!....:laughs: :happy:

I'm outa here dude, gotta let the computer thats hooked up to my shoulders take in all this information........later pork & cheese

lol lol

me too.....the brains in overload state..already....

...ta manhana....:laughs:

Bloo, have you thought about trying to use SS screws instead of nails? You can probably get them whatever lenght you want.

I also recall that gas stations used to insert carbide studs into tires with some sort of hand gun. Haven't found anyone who has one lying around though.

Goose - they're lifesavers! Simply the best invention for the rock hopper!

Bloo - if you go into production, are you going to have a special "Krabbers" variant? Like this?

http://striped-bass.com/images/bloo/krabbers1.gif

...FishPart, I have thought about something like that....

...my concern was the size of the head of the screw. The closer I can keep the sole down the better. Check the diagram to see what I mean. If I went with the screw, I would think that the area where the screw was inserted wouldn't have as much of good seal as it would if I used the nail. (It wouldn't sit as good). I've thought about maybe 'boring' out the area on the sole where the screw would go, just so that it fit more snugly, but why ??...If I can probably just use a nail....

...I know the screw would eventually make a home in the sole, but would it effect the application at the time, not allowing the sole to completely rest on the wader due to the size of the head?

.....:smash: ...if you can understand that....

:D :laughs: :D ...LM-friggin-AO, John!!!.....

....that would be one dangerous crab!!!....;)

Goose going back one more page I see you are looking for Korkers. We have a couple of board sponsors who I am sure have Korkers even if they don't show up in the online stores. It's worth a call.

I don't buy much but when I do I like to support our sponsors.

Bloo, now I understand.:smash: Got to keep the water and sand out, once they get they spread like Marines going over a beach....

EXCELLENT POINT FISHPART!!.....;)...GGGGGGreat Idea!!

I'm glad you liked Bloo - Obviously made with you in mind....

Couple things to consider on your korker modification...

Any nails or screws you use could potentially corrode on top, round, snap off or wear away the head of the nail or screw, and eventually go up from the sole, through the bottom of your shoe and into your foot.

Some people have used larger headed bolts or screws to do the same thing as they'll be less susceptible to getting a second pointy end...

Another thing to keep in mind, a good cobbler may be able to trim the sides and permanantly affix those to your wader boots if you wanted...

John, the bottom of page 273 starts the story....;)

...by the way, what kind do you own??...the sandal, I imagine.

...do you have any "WAR" stories about sandals you'd like to share?.....Or have they never failed you?....

....this is directed only to the person who plans on answering it!...:happy: :laughs: ;)

The story on the Korker situation starts at the bottom of page 273

...for those of you who are interested ....:rolleyes:

A family took their frail, elderly mother to a nursing home
and left her, hoping she would be well cared for.
The next morning, the nurses bathed her, fed her a
tasty breakfast, and set her in a chair at a
window overlooking a lovely flower garden.

She seemed okay, but after a while she slowly
started to tilt sideways in her chair. Two attentive
nurses immediately rushed up to
catch her and straighten her up.
Again she seemed okay, but after a while she slowly
started to tilt over to her other side. The nurses
rushed back and once more brought her
back upright. This went on all morning.


Later, the family arrived to see how the old
woman was adjusting to her new home.
"So Ma, how is it here? Are they treating you all right?"
"It's pretty nice," she replied.
"Except they won't let me fart."

some one liners for ya.......;)

Here and gone again!:hs:

Where is

the rest

of the

LOONEYS?

Did everyone give up?

Or burnout?

.....278.....

Well I tried........nightall.

i got the 15000 th view...lol

ox....you just hanging for the page

could be a few, just finished reading 20 years on the cape

it was pretty darn good, compared to his other books

tell ya, he has a very special family. to put up with living on the beach like that all summer long.

my wife "i'll be at the sheraton, come get me when your done"

sad thing is as he said." that was then, this is now"shame is i feel like i was born 20 years too late

i hope my daughters who have, and will fish with me this coming season have an opportunity to see some of the things that one sees when they are out on a dark beach, in the middle of nowhere.

to see bluefish in a frenzy and chasing bait up on the shore, or a worm hatch. they have seen the water in late august light up from plankton

my little daughter has already caught a bluefish that gave here a run for her money...she's hooked

my wife was catching stripers when she was a huge 7 months pregnant, talk about some cussing

but....my oldest daughter is going to take the right conditions and the right timing and probably a fish that will try to kick her arse to get her to join in on the family fishing addiction.

i do believe that this year will be the year that my family will finally catch the fever as a unit.

i have the feeling the first complete overnight fishing expedition is gonna seal the deal.

oh well enough rambilin for tonight

figured i would share some of my hopes for the upcoming season

well, made my 700 posts, i'm outta here

700 red, that's pretty good.

Okay.....the teachers not looking.....:D

...here goes a couple of posts to cheer the team up....;)

...oh, by the way.....

....I think I've got the worst teacher I've ever had!!....

he doesn't want you to know as much as he does!!...

....whats up with that???.....

he half teaches.......:smash:

...gives ya half the information.....kinda like baitin ya....


.....then moves on to something else without finishing up!!....


....kinda leaves ya hangin!!....:smash:

...waaaaa waaaaaaa waaaaaaaa......

.....yah, I'm crying a little bit....:laughs:

...Ok....gotta go!...

...Todays class is supposed to be about ..EAP, TLS....yada yada yada....

.....this stuff is just sooooo interesting...:)

almost like gettin out to the furthest rock...while the waves are breakin close to the top of your waders....@ 3am....


.....Hmmmmmmmmmm........how do I get out there???....

Bloo, I feel for you. The instructors will tell you that, that is how you learn.........

The goal is for the student to surpass the master.

:af: :af: :af: :af:

Fishpart, I asked him a question about "Virtual Drives"....


.....his answer:...ask me after class, and it'll cost you $25 for the hour....because that doesn't pertain to this class...

....#$@%@#%#..MORON!!!....


....is that the kind of people that are out there.....in the "Computer World"..???...HELPFUL!!!???:af: :af:

.....I'll be gettin arrested my first week!!!.....

:smash:

HURRY UP SUNDAY!!!!....:af:


....I NEED SOME FISHIN'!!! ....

One more for the team.

Why pay $25 for the hour the school is already paying him for that time, or is he stealing time from his employer???

He also does repairs to outside customers thru the school...and troubleshoots for outside companies...

....so to him, I was asking an "outside" question...because he wasn't teaching that class....

....I told him, "doesn't any question I ask pertain to computers in some way or another??..."...."after all, I am a student...trying to learn about computers...DUH!!!"...

....after a few words got exchanged, I had to start counting backwards to control my ......ummm...TEMPER!!...

...We've (me and other students) already complained to the owners and the state...(the state is funding the program)...but nothing happened. He seems to think that because we lost our jobs, one way or the other.....that we're less competant than others who pay out of pocket...

the entire school, is basically dislocated workers...(layed off/company closures, etc...)...there isn't one student there, who paid out of pocket....

that should have sent bells off in my head, when I was searching for a school to go to....


...plain and simple....HE'S AN #@$@!!!!

something that made me chuckle.....:happy:

I needed this....


A woman went to a pet shop and immediately spotted
a large beautiful parrot. There was a sign on the cage
that said $50.00. "Why so little,"
she asked the pet store owner.

The owner looked at her and said, "Look, I should
tell you first that this bird used to live in a house of
prostitution, and sometimes it
says some pretty vulgar stuff."

The woman thought about this, but decided she had
to have the bird anyway. She took it home and hung the
bird's cage up in her living room
and waited for it to say something.


The bird looked around the room, then at her, and
said, "New house, new madam."
The woman was a bit shocked at the implication, but
then thought "that's not so bad."


When her two tennage daughters returned from school
the bird saw them and said,
"New house, new madam, new girls."


The girls and the woman were a bit offended but
then began to laugh about the situation.
Moments later, the woman's husband,
Keith, came home from work.
The bird looked at him and said, "Hi Keith."

Confession . . . .

A woman takes a lover during the day, while her husband is at work.
Her 9 year old son comes home unexpectedly, so she puts him in the closet and
shuts the door. Her husband also comes home, so she puts her lover in the
closet, with the little boy.
The little boy says, "Dark in here."
The man says, "Yes, it is."
Boy - "I have a baseball."
Man - "That's nice."
Boy - "Want to buy it."
Man - "No, thanks."
Boy - "My dad's outside."
Man - "OK, how much?"
Boy - "$175.00"
In the next few weeks, it happens again that the boy and the lover are in the
closet together.
Boy - "Dark in here."
Man - "Yes, it is."
Boy - "I have a baseball mitt."
The lover remembering the last time asks the boy, "How much?"
Boy - "$375.00"
Man - "Fine."
A few days later, the father says to the boy, "Grab your glove. Let's go
outside and toss the baseball back and forth."
The boy says, "I can't, I sold them."
The father asks, "How much did you sell them for?"
Boy - "$550.00"
The father says, "That's terrible to overcharge your friends like that,
that's way more than those two things cost. I'm going to take you to church
and make you confess."
They go to church and the father makes the little boy sit in the
confession booth and he closes the door.
The boy says, "Dark in here."
The priest says, "Don't start that #^&#^&#^&#^& again."

understand her at all.

LONGEVITY
Married men live longer than single men, but married men are a lot more
willing to die.

MEMORY
Any married man should forget his mistakes, there's no use in two people
remembering the same thing.

APPEARANCE
Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.
Women somehow deteriorate during the night.

PROPENSITY TO CHANGE
A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, and she does.

DISCUSSION TECHNIQUE

Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

COMPREHENSION
There are two times when a man doesn't understand a woman, before
marriage and after marriage.

HOW TO STOP PEOPLE FROM BUGGING YOU ABOUT GETTING
MARRIED:
Old aunts! used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and
cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped after I started doing
the same thing to them at funerals .

Oh well back to work....

good stuff guys!!!

Generational Math:

Teaching Math in 1950: A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit?

Teaching Math in 1960: A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit?

Teaching Math in 1970: A logger exchanges a set "L" of lumber for a set "M" of money. The cardinality of set "M" is 100. Each element is worth one dollar. Make 100 dots representing the elements of the set "M." The set "C", the cost of production contains 20 fewer points than set "M." Represent the set "C" as a subset of set "M" and answer the following question: What is the cardinality of the set "P" of profits?

Teaching Math in 1980: A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80 and his profit is $20. Your assignment: Underline the number 20.

Teaching Math in 1990: By cutting down beautiful forest trees, the logger makes $20. What do you think of this way of making a living? Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the forest birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down the trees? There are no wrong answers.

Teaching Math in 2000: A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $120. How does Arthur Andersen determine that his profit margin is $60?

...a couple of quick tips for you Codders....


......not mine, by the way.......


.....WHAT?.......you actually thought I was gonna put it on this page???....:happy: :laughs: :happy: :laughs: :D

There are two jigging methods: squidding and yo-yoing. For squidding, flip the jig and teaser away from the boat and let it drop to the bottom. Then engage the reel and quickly take up ten turns and then take five slow turns. If you get no hits than drop the jig back to the bottom and repeat the process until the jig is well under the boat. Then reel up and start over. For yo-yoing, cast the jig and tube uptide and let it sink to the bottom. Then engage the reel and bounce the jig off the bottom several times. You should get 2-3 bounces depending on the speed of the tide. When you can't feel the bottom, reel up a repeat the process

....:D

There are times when jigging can be very effective, especially when there is a lot of bait present. Also, jigging is the preferred method to fish for cod in northern New England. To set up for jigging, take a four-foot piece of 50 LB mono and tie a 5-inch dropper loop about a foot from one end. Attach a 6/0 Gamakatsu or Owner Octopus hook to the dropper loop and then attach either a 9-inch purple jelly worm or 4-6 inch tube like a Gitzit. My favorite colors are the pearl glow, red and purple. Bring a supply of different colors to see what is working. Now attach an 8-16 ounce diamond or Norwegian jig to the end of your leader. Most jigs come with treble hooks which should be replaced with a single 8/0 Limerick tube hook. Make sure your hooks are razor sharp.


....I use a variation of different methods....when something starts working.....STICK WITH IT!....thats my motto!!;)

....if all else fails.......PUT ON SOME CLAM!!! :D

Hi.....

BM, what did the BIG shark take BIG chunk or live bait?

nice fog bass.
I fish in the fog all the time:laughs:
The bass love the fog:D

Hey Bloo another way to jig is what we call dragging. Same basic setup as you. Use the lightest jig you can get away with, on anchor up to 17 ozs. but we drift mostly and and use jigs to 35 ozs. Cast uptide and engage reel when it hits the bottom. I like to rest the jig on the bootom wiggle a few times and then jerk-up hard. when you don't feel the bottom just let out more line till it hits again and start over I'll do this four or five times then reel in. If the hard jerking doesn't work then I'll just drag it just bouncing the tip. I use any of my old plastics but two teasers that seem to work best are bucktails tied on a 5/0 mustad or a pink/white grub.If all fails or you want more haddock go to bait!

Bloo this one looks good:drool:

Striper1, I wonder if they went out today??...

I just hope everything turned out ok....:cool:


I wouldn't want anything happening to the boat for next week!!

of course I'm joking!!!.......


....:smash: ....people are important too....:) ....(some)..:laughs:

hey Swede/Striper1.....what kind of set-ups are you guys gonna bring???...

..as far as tackle and gear??.....

....I'm not sure if I'm bringing my Penn "Delmar"...:( or my 330Gti...or both, in case the "Delmar" fails me....which it never has...I got a couple of mediocre "meat sticks that I'm still undecided about.....(I NEED A GOOD MEATSTICK!!)...but one of these will do for now...If you guys Cod often, what do you recommend??...

...a couple of jigs...teasers....and a bunch of hooks....I lent someone my LARGE sinker mold...and they seem to have misplaced it :af: ...so I'll probably be buying some on the boat...I don't think I have many left. Maybe I'll get lucky and not "break" too many times....:rolleyes:

...One of my last times out, I had about 20 left over Quahogs from the day before. I brought those with me...and tried using them...:mad: .wouldn't stay on the hook...it seemed Sea Clams were the way to go...the jigs weren't even
producing much.


...Hey CanalRatt, you make your reservation yet???.....:D

I'm working on getting some heavier ones.....even though I like a jig with action.....thats why I prefer the 14...but to hold bottom, I know I need heavier!!...:rolleyes:

...and seeing as how today is the last day of this thread....:(

...I'll show ya a few teasers......



...one at a time....;)

...something thats been hanging around too long in the basement...and am hoping will work...

...some replacement hooks.....that may see some clam strips.......hanging above the jig...:D

..a homemade jobber....with a little squid impersonator...:eek:

...the googlee eye sucka!!...which won't last more than two fish!!!

and my ALL TIME favorite, which I think by the way,...pulled up that 68# Halibut that Billy....landed......:D:D;)

oh, did I forget the picture....:D:D

...should I bring one of my "Bass" ...sandeels...???....:D

hey now.......I just did a lot of sharing!!!......

....c'mon show me sometin'......:p ;)
