With the heave on and cloud cover, you can get some great shots of what we all love, surf and loads of white water.

The contest will run until Monday at 5:00pm, I will choose the best photo and award the prizes.

Photo must be fishing related in some way, and with surfcasters in mind, and applies to currently registered users only.

When posting a photo you must give general location, ie ( Narragansett, South County, etc etc.)

Professional photographers are allowed to enter (that means you Chuck)

If you cannot figure out how to upload the photos, email them to me a tattoo@tattoostackle.com and I will post them.

The prizes are:

2.5oz Diving Swimer - Green Mackerel
2.5oz Large Swimmer - White
2.0oz Jr. Swimmer - Black

Thank you everyone for a supporting Tattoo's Tackle, have a great fall and be careful out there.

These are pictures of Hurricane Bob are from Narragansett, RI. Wind speed 105 mph, surge 6-10 ft above mean.

I remember that day on August 19, 1991. I was the only one traveling southbound from Johnston, RI on an adventure. I guess only the diehards go out in the middle of a hurricane.

These are from Coast Guard Beach in Eastham on the Cape

Beach,
You're nuts.... but I would kill to be able to do that just once!

Montauk NY

6/27/05 Race pt. Even though the white water in this pic isn't generated by the surf, and the picture is a little old, I thought I'd enter it anyaway. I tweaked it a little bit (more color by adjusting contrast). Check out the size of the hump about 3/4 of the way up on the right hand side a few inches in.

Rappin' Mikey wins! :bgi:

The mouth of the Sakonnet, well close enough neways Saturday around 1pm...
Lots of surfers, they were taking a break.. tide was near low...

Tattoo, there are some truly great shots already submitted, here are a few I shot of Sunny Bun fishing off Beavertail yesterday afternoon.

The storm was already winding down but there were a few nice sets left, more so on Newton Rock.

Hopefully these shots will make you wish you were fishing the surf.

more pix

even more

yet even more

Lurch,

love the phot of the little guy in the surf and the rest are great.

Fisheye, we are not worthy......

mikee's blitz is always a winner...

last week before disembarking. not a "great" photo but it was the feeling in my soul as I looked up to grab the stick and a night such as that just hits one in the heart.

These aren't big surf related, but I have a few sunrise/sunset pics in albums. Thought I'd share them.

http://community.webshots.com/user/capedawg

Here's one, but it's a couple of years old.

Aha....

GP....

be there tonight. would be a great if it sets up like that....

North wind, incoming....

you know diggin...

Beachwalker, I knew you'd get that one. :)

Is there anything better than getting out there and having that 20 yards of sand all to yourself ? My dad and I were out there at the end of august, had it all to ourselves 3 nights in a row. Small fish but hey some of em had stripes... Kind of different than the asses to elbows we had back in June& July, and that I'm sure I'll see when I get back down @ the end of the month.

T-12 days n counting

that place is gold in October/November

great shot. I'll bring my camera tonight, for sure.....

mail me before you leave and tell what your driving. we'll take a few casts...

:scatter:

Gansett

Rhody. This Saturday. People were fishing/sightseeing in some darn crazy areas. I snapped pics quickly and left, so as not to feel obligated to try to save their behinds when they got swept into the water.

Picked that one up myself. I have seen it stand up way bigger than that.for as far as u could see.

splish splash..cool pix guys!

This Picture is perhaps a little more posed but a nice shot non the less.

it wasn't that big last night but nice nonetheless. fish were there later.

bright moon, batteries shiite the bed on the digital. kind of wonder what kind of photo's I could have taken with all that moon.

anyway. some really good photos here. good idea tattoo. we should keep doing this.... :cool:

nevis, west indies. alright, it's not exactly surf fishing, but i did catch some small snappers there earlier in the day.

...and the winner is Diggin Jiggin.

What a sweet shot! That makes you want to tie on a darter and hang on for sure.

Send me your address and I'll get the plugs out to you.

Dave - that is an awesome shot, one of these days i'm gonna meet you when you are out there. you sure are scoring some sweet plugs....

Mike - mighty nice of you to run this little contest.

Congrats, Diggin Jiggin.

congrats, great shot

Congrats Diggin Jiggin...nice pic! :btu:

congrats, and thanks to tattoo for running this :D

CONGRATULATIONS DIGGIN !

wow, is then when I am suppossed to be embarrasesed or feel stupid ?

I must fish that spot 40 times a year.

way to go diggin !

wish the rip still looked that way. the past couple of winters changed it but it still does similar stuff depending on wind and tide.

My Youngest Brothers up from Kentucky Columbus Day '01

Congrats!! Diggin!!

I am glad that it wasn't me having to pick the winner!! Cause there are all kinds of nice stuff!!
This was a good thread!! Thanks Tattoo!!

Wow, I am completely psyched. Tattoo thanks so much !
I'll put them thru their paces when I'm down there, trust me !

That rip is made for big swimmers. I'll be in touch w/ a pm.

Nice job Diggin Jiggin, now you can use your Tattoo lures and take some nice shots of a few cow bass.

Nice job, DJ. Now you'll be diggin pluggin.

My 6 year old daughter at the OBX in NC.. 24 inch blue on the other end... notice she's using conventional. :uhuh:

Thumb Burner, sweet shot. My daughter that just turned three is begging me to build her a pink rod so that she can go fishing with me. I can't wait until she hooks up. I'll be in the Outer Banks for Thanksgiving week, so hopefully I can get her hooked up to something of a reasonable size to reel in. Maybe one of those famed OBX rockfish, as they call them down there.

Might be made for big swimmers, but I'll betcha you'd be Diggin Jiggin if you dredged the bottom of that rip, too ;)

I took these up at Plum Island over the weekend. Fished a little, didn't catch chit, but no one else was either.

Congrats diggin...

I get the idea that the location is a boat ride away... Assuming it's where I think it is, I was there once when I was maybe 6. I remember I was nervous because my father told me to stay well back from the water. My grandfather took a 51" bass on a redfin right near there. Memories :scatter:

:)

Who is that IDIOT holding his baby above the surf ???

:bshake:

Michael's brother :laugha:

Ah Nebe Jackson, the oft forgotten member of that family... :D

come on... besides we were looking at schoolies finning in the whitewater. My son needs to know about all of this stuff as early as possible :D

This little guy is going to be one heck of a surfcaster when i am done with the early brainwashing process :rotf3:

I've only fished that rip once. (GP) All I got was a four foot dogfish. Still one of the fishiest looking places from shore I have ever seen.

Indian Rock and the Pt. Judith Light - a big water day. If you know how big Indian Rock is, you know what I mean. Thanks for the nice pluggage

WOW :eek5:

These are my girlfriends' nephews up from Slidell near New Orleans LA.They've never seen a striper before or fished for that matter.This is in Portsmouth RI.

TATTOO WHAT ABOUT ALL THE PIC'S POSTED IN JR'S REQUEST FOR SURF RELATED PHOTO'S. DO I HAVE TO UPLOAD SOME OF THE SAME ONES TO THIS POST ALSO.

This is old , think someone had already one swimmer.

Awesome :btu:

but who you are with. While this picture is not of waves breaking on shore or a blitz it certainly represents something that is great about the mass stripedbass association. And that is the mystery trips where a bunch of people get together who don't know each other follow one or two people around who act as guides and fish together.

This is old , think someone had already one swimmer.

You would be correct.Wish I'd noticed that before I posted.

Good way to show them some local joy!

They loved it!The youngest was kinda freaked out by the fish.

Though as you can see they found it rather chilly.

This me on Thanksgiving day in SoCo :musc:
